    Thumbs down Stupid idiot drivers

    What's with people on the roads today? I've gotten cut off(or attempted to get cut off) more than a few times in the past few days!...And that's considering that I drive this huge, bright yellow-orange van! WTF?

    Oh yeah, cutting off a big yellow VW van with your dinkbot Ford Focus is such a *great* idea...it's not like my van is much bigger than your car and more of a hazard to your car, than yours is to mine if you hit my van! Or maybe you couldn't SEE my van driving right in front of you? Maybe my car's color wasn't bright enough for you? After all, it's not like Penndot(and other road services) chose to make their street signs and road markings in the SAME SHADE OF YELLOW-ORANGE as my van, because it's more visible than say, brown or gray. Yep, maybe my car appeared invisible. Or maybe you expected my outdated, teeny 70hp engine to quickly accelerate outta the way of your cutting-off in record timing. Or maybe you expected it to have superpowered brakes. That's a likely scenario too, considering that my vintage van is from 1976 and is essentially a huge rectangular box-shaped thing on wheels! It's not like bigger heavier vehicles need extra braking time or anything like that. But why should I worry about all of this? It's not like I'm trying to keep my insurance rates down, or preserve my treasured van from getting totalled like my Mazda RX-7 did a few years ago. Go ahead, ram into my van, break your neck doing it, and then have your relatives sue me over the whole scenario. So maybe your Ford Focus should go on, and continue to jump right out in front of my van, or tell your buddy in the Honda to attempt a left-hand turn from the right-side lane right as I'm driving straight by...around one of Philly's most infamous/dangerous intersections, too! Because all of this makes just so much sense. What, are you just annoyed that one of those "damn hippie vans" is still chugging along, and for a longer time than the time it's been since your uncle last tried LSD?

    Ugh can't I drive my van in peace? When I drive my superfast, supernew Mustang, people seem to get outta my way...even though it's a quicker car and less of a safety risk(smaller size) to you if you run into me. I just don't get people sometimes! My friend M--k calls idiot drivers "de-de-dees"(I think he got that from the Carlos Mencia show). Haha! Anyone have any road rage stories to share?

    People from Texas must be up there because this sounds like my daily driving routine here.

    ^ LOL! That, or more likely, there's more NJ drivers entering Philadelphia. NJ was recently rated as the #5 state for worst drivers...I think Rhode Island got the "honor" of being in the #1 spot. Maybe these people are looking for a clever way to commit suicide by cutting off our big vehicles? I don't know.

    I get the " little car syndrome". People think that since it's so little they should feel free to cut me off because hey, it's a little car that can perform miracle manuevers and braking!

    Yea, everyone's out on the road this time of year and they're all stressed-out and crazy. CHILL OUT people! Geez!

    I don't have a particularly small car... but I still get the assholes in their Dodge Rams and the like tailgating me. Like it really makes a difference? If they fucking hit my car with a truck or a beetle, I will STILL kick their ass (either before or after the hospital, hehe). I guess they just can't see all the little cars down on the road from way up there?

    I called some 80ish year old lady a cunt today atleast 10 times while i was behind her. god i wanted to dismember her. Basically sat and refused to turn left when there was no on-coming traffic(there was a car on the otherside waiting to take a left, but had to wait for the 8900 cars on our side to pass through the intersection). So granny just sat there for no reason. THEN when the light turns green again, she slowly turns left and then immediately stops, so she can find a parking spot at building on the corner. which ofcorse meant she had to wait for the light to turn green in the other direction so that the cars blocking it would move, instead of driving another 50 feet and parking <gasp!> an extra 6 spots from where she was going.

    Also today, some moron from rhode island was swerving all over the place, basically taking up two lanes. I'm pretty sure his wife was sitting in the back seat and at a red light she punched him in the back of the head. Don't worry, after getting on the highway, he moved left without signalling. Just a sidenote for everyone here: You can't purchase an auto in rhode island with turn signals installed. And if you mention to the dealer that you'd like them, they'll stare at your confused. Nobody in the state has heard of them before.

    There was something else today too, but i forget it at this point.

    Don't get me started on service road entrances and exits that cross traffic. Imagine an off ramp that merges into two lane traffic and the two lane traffic has a stop sign on each side of the off ramp. Unfucking believeable.

    Truthfully, today there is a lot of holiday traffic. And there simply IS more traffic these days... more cars on the road.

    lol i always bitch about drivers down here in FL, but when i was driving into philly trying to read my directions i got beeped at about 3 times. I called my sister and she was like " you already got beeped at!" Then driving into town...all the lights are on the SIDE of the road besides above it..After driving for 19 hours straight alone from FL(accident in NC took about 5 hours) I seriously didnt know for a good 5 mins where they were! I ran about 3 red lights! I was one of those jerks in philly girls!

    as for a road rage story...about a year ago, im driving home from the mall in orlando. This annoying guy is going super slow and holding everyone up...i pass him, he speeds up and passes me so hes in front of me again. Then he throws his freakin coke cup from mcdonalds or wendys or something outta his window and it goes all over my car/window! i was so mad! he was getting off at the next exit so i followed him off. he stops at the gas station, i parked right behind him and i got outta my car pissed off(pms) and started screaming at him. He was so shocked. He's like IM SORRY MY GOD I DIDNT THINK IT WOULD HIT YOUR CAR. he pumps his gas, pays outside, and is asking me to move my car so he can leave.


    I tell him, nope you gotta wait on me now since i have to wash off my window. Finally i leave super slow. He speeds off around me pulls outta the gas station...lol...i know i shouldent follow people like this because bad stuff can happen, something just came over me that day.

    Nah...but I've driven there. The roads suck, but the people are nicer about stuff than in Houston. I hate...hate...HATE...driving there! I don't have a clue where anything is, and people don't give you half a second to try and figure it out.

    Most impatient people I've ever seen...

    One thing I learned from driving in Dallas was if you want to get where you're going, take the surface streets. You'll get there faster.

    Don't get me started on service road entrances and exits that cross traffic. Imagine an off ramp that merges into two lane traffic and the two lane traffic has a stop sign on each side of the off ramp. Unfucking believeable.
    Not to mention those service roads often have a 55 MPH speed limit, even inside city limits. I once drove from Carollton to downtown Dallas, and when I saw that I-35E was logjammed, I just took the nearly empty service road to Harry Hines, and followed it the rest of the way. It felt like getting my food to go faster by going inside and ordering it there than using the drive-thru.

    My road rage story:

    My ex-wife was having stomach problems, and wanted me to take her to the emergency room. While I was driving her there, she said: "did you see that lady give us the finger?"... well I coulda sworn she was just flicking her cigarette butt out the window.... but later the same car was behind us and I could see the driver yelling and gesticulating at us - who knows why.... whatever, we were on our way to the hospital, I wasn't gonna worry about it... so the ex's stomach problems were continuing.... she was feeling naseous... then we stopped at a light, and the road-raging driver pulled up next to the passenger side and started yelling at us out of her window -- just as the ex vomitted out the passenger window right in her face!

    A side note: I think driving sucks everywhere now because most human beings generally suck.
