About thirty feet after the turn are some railroad tracks. Having made my right turn and needing to go left at the next light, I start to merge over. The guy in the Mercedes Benz in front of me slams on his brakes, and I clipped his bumper.
He gets out of the car, and tells me that he needed to stop because the rail road tracks are really bumpy. We were only going 15mph. I'm pissed, and I know it is my fault because I should have given him more space and yadda yadda, but come on. There was NO traffic in front of him, and he was in a Benz and I know he could have hit those tracks at 115mph with barely a shudder. Oh yeah, did I mention he was on a cellphone?
Oh, that's not even right. I slow down uber slow for railroad tracks because my suspension demands me to. One time, last summer, there was some construction work being done on this major stretch of road near my house. For some reason, metal slabs about 4 feet by 4 feet were being placed all along the left lane, they were jarring as hell. I slowed down for every one of them that came up---but not incredibly slow (this was a 40mph zone). Anyhow, i noticed a GEO STORM was swerving out to the right lane then back into the left, i slowed down for the last metal plate extra slow because there was a red light with stopped cars about 20 ft ahead, and this ****ing retard swings out to the left turning lane to the left of me, then attempts to swing back into my lane with the intention of cutting me off. I sped up and denied him the advantage, so he had to go behind me. He got PISSED! He honked, and hollered and yelled, some guy in his 40's who was trying to yell at me thru his window that "if i didn't want to go over them i should've swerved into the other lane" plus some other obscene things
I proceeded to give him the bird and told him to learn how to drive. Swerving into lanes. What a class-act.
God i wish i had tinted windows, everyone around here doesn't even try to look at you while your'e in your car if you have them.
edit: just retelling this story just reminds me of all the murderous rage pent up within
i was going to school one morning and it was around the time my PS pump and fan were hating me. so i didnt want to over rev the engine, so i just went a little slower than normal. as i was taking off from a stop light on a long stretch of highway, a bunch of cars kept passing me, prolly cause i didnt just speed off from the stop light, mind you we had only gone maybe 100yards passed it. well, the last truck to pass me and get infront was this saturn service truck. i was thinking "no more, *****es, im going fast enough" so i see this car coming up fast, and SC300, and he gets over to cut me off because i was in the left lane and there was a truck in the right lane. the truck was going slower and i was about to go past him, but not fast enough i guess. well, this SC300 was about to cut me off, and i mean BAD cause i was really close to passing the truck, and i just sped up and kept him from doing it. the guy swerve fast into the lane right on my bumper and started flashing his brights, like " hey ***, you didnt let me cut you off! i drive a lexus, that means im better than you!"
Honestly, Volvo drivers back home were HORRIBLE. I guess you can afford to drive like an ******* when you are in a tank though. Big trucks are a problems too. Back home, it was the hicks in big trucks being ***holes. Here, it's the OC kids in prerunners that think they are better than you because they have oversized, unpainted fiberglass fenders JUST INCASE they ever need to go uber offroading.

i was tail gated by a lancer BAD coming home from Kill Bill vol2. my GF and i were in my car, and my buddy nick was in his zx2. i passed a merge lane and this car came up fast behind me. he got right behind me and i coudnt even see his lights at the stop light we arrived at. well we took off and he was right on my *** the whole time. i slowed down next to this van and my buddy nick got behind the guy so he was boxed in. as i sped up a little, the guy passed me, and my GF leaned out and gave him two fingers. well, i looked over and saw the wing, and though "**** thats an Evo, im not messing with him. then i realized, "wait, no badging, wrong muffler, wrong headlights, wrong taillights, thats no EVO!!!" so i sped up and passed his *** and my GF leaned out again and gave him the finger once more. i really hate rich bastad kids from stone briar who think they're hot **** cause they drive an import.
Im a delivery drier, so Im driving all day long both on city streets and on the freeway, so Obviously I see my share of Douchebags out there.
Id say that 70% of them are raised trucks, followed by ricers and soccermoms, which are tied with Rich teenage girls for most damn irritating.
Story:
Im on the freeway, driving my girlfriends Aerio with her in the front seat. We're passing an on ramp and this retard in a 4" lifted F-350 comes SCREAMING up it. Probably doing 90 by the time he got to the top, where we just happened to be. So he uses the hard shoulder on the right to pass us, then slows down to JUST above the speed limit because of this cop about a quarter mile up in the fast lane. I have to slam on my brakes, which I never like to do, and Just barely avoid becoming a smear on his rear differential.
So I sit there behind this guy for about 10 minutes (which should have been 5, but for his newfound respect for law enforcement.) and hit my exit, irritated but not really pissed.
bout an hour later, same situation but with added traffic. he comes up the onramp, slowly this time, slower than the flow of traffic due to the on-ramp's own snail pace.
I brake to let him in (damn Im a nice guy) but I decide if Im letting him in, Im going to make it a tight fit.
So I satrt pulling up on him as he starts to get over, jsut trying to make him nervous, maybe get him to jump a little. I see him in his gigantic sideview mirror, the picture f calm one second, then as he sees me squeezing hima little, he makes a face like a pissed off Orangutang, swerves hard into the lane, and stomps on ti for the 40' or so thats clear to do so.
I rode his *** to my exit and turned off.
Maybe Im not so nice after all...

HAhahaha thats the best! I loved driving around in my beat up 88 Sentra, which was damaged from three rear-end wrecks, and never repaired. I'd pull up to some putz and start revving, then take off at a snails pace while he wastes rubber and earns himself a ticket.

Around here its the truck drivers are the worst...
about 50% lowered trucks and 50% jacked up...
I was in my school parking lot (gravel) behind this jacked up F-150. He starts spinning his tires COVERING my car in dirt, rocks, and ****. I mean COVERED. I had to use my wipers to get the dirt off the windshield. He did it on PURPOSE! he said that I did it to him... ya sure, in my car thats 5 inches off the ground and bald tires... I think I can still take him to court, but I think I'd lose because he is deaf. He would get sympathy... However, the next day his truck got booted, I laughed so hard at him...
