are people rude or stupid? Rant #1,234,542

[VTXrider]

There are some people that piss me off beyond believe.

One situation happens to me all the time, every time I go to the keys really.
The road is 2 lanes for about 18 miles, one lane in each direction. No lights just straight through. Three times on the way down there are passing zones where each direction gets an extra lane to pass, now two lanes in each direction.
So you are cruising along at about 40 with too much oncoming traffic to pass but only one car in front of you. No other cars in front of that car they just choose to go 40 which is the speed limit, fine they are going the limit I can't say anything about that. Then when they come up to the 2 lane passing zone this f&cking *sshole will speed up to 90 MPH, still with a 40 speed limit. WTF Now I have to go 100+ to get by them. Sometimes I think oh maybe they woke up and will go faster now but inevitably no. At the end of the passing they slow back down to 40. It is even worse if there is a line of cars and the one in the front does this, you know the only important one to pass is the dumb shit in the front but now he's going 90 and you have to pass 10 other cars to get to where he is. Now I have to go 120 to get past, if I don't make it he slows back down to 40 in front of me.
I don't know if this happens anywhere else since I only see it on this one road to the keys and no where else.

mix of both. i know every single situation you mention. thoughtlessness is often used as an excuse, but is it really? can't people be expected to use their brains a little?
conclusion: thoughtlessness leads to rude behaviour.

and why doesn't anybody use their turn signals anymore? especially when changing lanes? or is that a german phenomenon?

That seems to be with bmw's and porsche's owners over here in the states

Sorry, but I am at that!

I can totally relate too. Same way coming into the canyons to my house. But, somehow it's funnier when someone else explains it!

[c5z28]

I am seriously considering a loud speaker for my car so I can cuss them out for pulling stupid shit like that.

What pisses me off the most is when I am in my brothers mini-van, (I feel bad for him but four kids, a dog, and a wife so he has no choice); but I digress the damn point is in the mini-van I can't get by the line of cars. I get passed about half of them and get stuck again.

Yeah, I get that too! We have two lanes that merge into one before the turn into the canyon. At all costs... I need to be first in line getting into that canyon!

In the Camaro, no problem But, occasionally I have to drive the Probe and sometimes I just have to suck it up and always seem to be behind someone who wants to do 25 in the twisties

that my friend is why I own 2 LSx cars. The Durango is a 4.7 and slow so I'm just at their mercy when we're in it but don't let them try that when I'm in one of my cars. I'd like to install a big cattle pusher to the front of the durango like they used to have on trains......I'd just push the cars out of my way. I'd also like to get the train horn so I can let people have it at stop lights and such.

[Spikito]

Heres a good one that pisses me off.

theres a road i drive down the dead ends into another. its a two lane road, but flares so that theres a dedicated left turn...but it runs into a 4 lane road. So even if you dont get in the dedicated left turn lane, and stay in the right, you can still turn left.

well here in texas we can turn right at red lights...if its clear. Well i turn right at that light, as do a LOT of people. But some jackass always sees 2 or 3 people in the dedicated turn lane, so they go up to to light, and wait to turn left...blocking all the people behind them who want to turn right

Another one that has happened to me twice. To get to my work there is a one lane ally which is the only way to get to several building parking lots. This ally gets decent traffic in the mornings. For some reason two times cars have just stopped in the ally. No one in front not broken down, I don't know if on the phone but just stopped. WTF, I can see my building but can't get there. Both times there was like 15 cars all honking and the asshole won't move, they can pull out into a parking lot but NO they stop in a one lane road. Both times the people in the front couple of cars actually had to get out of their cars and bang on the assholes windows to get them to move. What are these people thinking????????? Then one time the car just drove off, didn't even pull into a parking lot, I assumed they were waiting for someone, but I guess not they just drive off. The other car pulls there car up against the wall so that people can squeeze past, GTFO of the way move to the next parking lot and let people through. I left about a 20 foot parallel stripe after the second one.

[cammed goat]

heres some observations of my own....

People that make right turns off main roads or minor highways from the CENTER of the lane, inotherwords instead of starting to hug the side of the road a lil prior to the turn they slow down drastically right in the middle of the lane just before the turn so i have to slam on my brakes to avoid an accident. No I'm not tailgating, im going the speed of traffic. To top it off they signal only as they choose to make the turn.

Women with kids and you hold doors open for them at stores and they either give you a dirty ass look or dont even acknowledge you are there, like its expected I hold the door. I'm not a paid doorman bitch. Maybe this is the town i live in. Dunno

People with 3 or 4 kids that just create general congestion in a store. I understand you got a big family but at least make an attempt to let people conduct their business. No i'm not in a rush, but i like to move at MY pace and my schedule and agenda not theirs.

The black woman at a register who's phone conversation superceeds any of her job responsibilities.

Teenagers that get paid their allowance in coins and have to count them out AS they pay for their food at a fast food or convenience store while theres a line.

Nearly any store where I have to order something and repeat it more then 2 times because the person i'm talking to speaks terrible english. this is rude because i view it like its a slap in the face to this country. I dont go over to another country where english isnt the primary language and insist they learn english. You either speak their language or starve.

Women on cellphones in suburbans in parking lots! It drives me crazy when they have to make a 500 pt turn out of a parking spot because they drive a vehicle that is way more then they can handle and they have to use one arm because the other is holding a phone.

I thought I was the only one that hates that sh1t. I love when I am with friends/family and I see that sh1t and I say, "this is why I am GLAD I am not ignorant!" The best is when older folks agree with me...then we ALL get death stares from the morons.

[0rion]

walky talky phones in the stores piss me off also as do the wireless headset people that I always think are talking to me.

That sh1t is just wrong. I hear "hello" and I say "hi" and I look over and the priss is looking at me like "F-OFF!" then I wanna just throw them into traffic.

That happens to me all the time and ill say hello and then get the fucking death stare. Like i just should have known that they are one of those people that HAS to always be on the phone.

Am i the only one that always wonders who the fuck these people are always talking to? lol my phone convos last 10 minutes tops lol

[toi tyme]

I dropped a lady's eggs at work and she accused me of doing at purpose. Might I add they landed on my shoe and my whole working space. Soooo is she really that rude to me insulting my intellegence thinking that I dropped her eggs on myself to spite her? Or is she that stupid and egocentric to think that I would drop her eggs on purpose. Dumb ASS

[toi tyme]

After she flaunted how everytime she moves into a new expensive housing area the stores remodel.... Even by her amazing lake house.

I almost asked her. Are you flaunting or are you complaining. Cuz it's really hard to tell what point you are actually trying to put across.

[SiggyZ]

Life is like a boxachocolates. You never know what urgonnaget.

Ain't that the truth.

However box of chocolates aren't rude or stupid.



They're just good

Not if you're allergic to cocoa beans, they're not.

[toi tyme]

Haha true. That just sucks.

I don't even like the typical box of chocolate. I like chocolate covered cherries
