Sometimes as I'm out & about I find myself morphing into a goddamn shrew. No one is paying attention out there! I'm hollaring at bitches who are not moving when the light turns green, others are chatting away on their phones & realize at the last moment they are in the wrong lane & I'm steady cussing at these people. Sonmetimes I make sure they can read my lips when I say, "asshole". If you're one of these people, today, I hate you.

At least you didn't shoot anyone! I've seen Road Rage where a dumb M'fer actually shot a shotgun at another car!!! It never even made the papers!!!

in some areas of the country, expressing displeasure with the lousy driving skills of others CAN get you shot. i used to tell my son when we drove through miami, NOT to make eye contact with anyone in other vehicles. about half the people out there are armed, dangerous and whacko.

I agree. Bad drivers really piss me off, but it's not worth making my blood pressure rise over it. Or even worse, getting shot!

shit they are everywhere. Saw a couple of cars speeding by stopped school busses,,,with the lights on and all.
Last week, my husband was driving down a busy 4 lane street, some asshole backed his car out into traffic, husband and others had to slam on brakes. But Rick said it was poetic justice as a cop pulled right out and tagged his ass.
Not another driver..but I had to sit and wait for a school bus because mommy had to take about a dozen pictures of junior getting on the bus.

After driving around in Europe I have found that in order to survive you must relent to the faster car. In France they will cut you off faster than a pregnant bible thumper would their un-wed daughter. So in America I have no problem with anyone trying to achieve death through steering wheel. Here it is tame. Try going through Paris just once and you will never complain about American idiots again. If there was an award for "Get the FUCK outta the way" Europe would win hands down.
So today as I look back I understand your displeasure yet snicker at your ignorance.
Good luck out there and remember your socks and thong because anything is better than nothin. Especially when you hit a pothole and have to change a tire. But by then you may not give a shit.
Remember I'm rootin for ya!

If cops would enforce the damn traffic laws this stuff wouldn't be going on. They won't write tickets for anything except speeding so people break the law even when there's a cop there. They won't even ticket someone who tailgates a cop!!

Scariest place I ever drove was Boston during the Big Dig. Oy vey! Massachusetts in general was a horror, people taking the right of way and those horrid traffic circles. Not to mention being allowed to drive in the breakdown lane at breakneck speed and being able to run a red light after stop if there's no other cars around.

Chill woman; life is to short to let the assholes get to you. Next time cut them off and slow down to 15 mph. Then go home drink copious amounts of wine and laugh because they are home cussing about you instead.

BTW, when you are good and drunk, don't forget to post naked pictures of yourself.
