What you have done to pi$$ off fellow motorists ?

i have done that to people that continue to drive in my blind spot. after trying to shake them.

 

Hence the name, "leadfoot_mf" - which was shouted many times as you drove past at 45 mph.

Mel Gibson hated it when I'd park in his (former) space at Paramount (Icon's former locale). Did it like 5 times. He'd sit in his car, brooding, just glaring at me, while I'd smile like Eddie Murphy in 48 Hours- "Hi, how ya doin'?" Who knows? I may have driven him to drink. Parked in Judge Judy's space at another studio, just for the halibut. Wait, that's parking.

Roadtripping: If there was a roadhog, and we'd finally get a passing lane, passenger'd hang out window, wave frantically at driver and make *breaking* sign, like something's broken on the rear of the car, or sumpin'. Always funny to see 'em pull over. We considered it a Public Service Announcement.

Pre-third brakelight: Stick arm out window, make "stop" sign, turn on lights to make tailgaters think we hit brakes, then zooooooom away.

 

Driving the speed limit while other speeders tailgate me trying to make me drive faster, it's only going to make me drive much slower.

 

Washer fluid always helps that situation, and then watching in the mirror is priceless.

 

I drive with my blinker on. I replaced the wheel in my miata and forgot to put the wheel return shut off piece for the blinkers. I am so tall that i can't see the section of the dash that displays whether they are on.

 

Saw a great bumper sticker that sort of applies to this question that said:

WARNING -- I drive like you

 

i was riding with my friend in his mustang GT, and an H2 (barf) honked at us for being a second late on the green light...so we drove like 20 mph until he turned off...to take a detour around us!

 

This was many years ago:

I had someone wash their windows at least 3 times while driving in front of me about 15 minutes after I finished washing, claying, and waxing my car.
Traffic was tight so i couldnt change lanes quickly.

I was so pissed off, I drove next to him and saw he was totally clueless. So, I got right in front of him and for three miles, I continuously hit the washer fluid. He changed lanes several times to try and get out of the way, but I always made sure I changed with him so I could keep hitting the wipewash.

Now I try to avoid any conflict. It just leads to trouble.

 

Well, I stopped to let a car make a left turn in front of me in gridlock today. I suppose that ticked off the people behind me, but it's not like we didn't catch up to traffic 2.6 seconds later, anyway.

These days, if you pull into traffic within sight of a car coming up the road, he feels he's been "cut off". The EVO can go from zero to traffic speed in its own length, but a driver 300 yards back will still get ticked off that I pulled out in front of him (e.g., where he could see it).

The human ego is a huge baggage to cart around.

 

I have done many things but one thing always sticks out in my mind.

Several years back I was leaving Norman, OK on the on-ramp to get onto I-35 and the car in front of me was doing about 20 mph. me knowing I need to speed up to merge into the highway traffic pass the slow car on the shoulder of the on-ramp and as I’m passing them I flip them off. Not horribly bad, but as I got a look at the driver and passenger I realized they where nuns.

 

When I first learned to drive I cut off one or two people not on purpose.

 

I was raised in a private Catholic school. Trust me you are OK.

 

Somehow it's always other drivers that piss me off. Me? I'm perfekt.

 

1988, I'm on my 900 SS Ducati. Long straight at the start of one of my favorite curvy roads to the lake. Guy in a new Vette thinks he's going to keep up. I know I can lose him but I don't have enough road to really bury him. So I'm far enough ahead to be out of site. I get to the end of the road and as fast as I can, I get my helmet off, break a cigarette off almost to the end, light it up. I'm leaning on the bike like I been there and when he pulls up I flick down the cig, nod to him and get back on.

 

Bikers often get overconfident.

A few years back a Yammer flew past the 328 like I was standing still on a straight. In the next series of turns, I had to brake down to keep off his rear wheel.

A couple of blocks up a tour bus was blocking the road. While we were waiting, the biker drifted back to express his surprise that I kept up. I pointed out the difference between four fat tires and two skinny ones in turns.

 

Didn't you get a speeding ticket this year while visiting the US?

 

Just completed my 7 AM to 4:30 PM session of Traffic School. The instructor said her friend cut off another car on the way to Vegas awhile back and the guy got so pissed off that he pulled up next to them in the Shoulder with a gun pointed. So her friend jumps on the brakes, and unfortunately the car next to him on the left didn't notice the gun. The angry guy shot a helpless woman in the head, and her friend who slammed on the brakes watched the whole thing.



On a different note, when I'm at intersections where friends I know are behind me I sit there until it turns yellow then go. Always a good laugh...

 

Thats hilarious!!!

Nice!, im sure that was fun to do!

 

I had a fun day messing with people. I parked my car in a crowded shopping center & some how got a prime spot. I went into Borders bookstore to get a couple of last minute gifts. As I was walking out, the parking lot was packed & people were looking for spots. So I walk up to my car like I'm going to leave, got in it then put the presents up then got out. There was a woman in a SUV with her turn signal blinking towards my parking space, she claimed it as hers. but I got out & decided to go into Central Market. Let me just say she wasn't very happy.

Got a couple of things there & just for sh*ts & grins pulled the same stunt. Loaded the groceries in the car, got in sat there for one minute then got out opened the trunk, then closed it & got out. Another person was holding up the parking isle just to get my spot. My eye glasses were a bit dirty so I needed walk over the eyeglass shop for a bit of maintenance. I think I heard someone say F*CK YOU over their horn as I walked away, same to you pal. God sometimes I love the holidays.

 

Well, you weren't being very nice were you? In your situation, I always make sure I shake my head or wave my hand or give *some* sign that I'm not taking out my car. (If they still don't get the hint, that's really their problem). But nonchalantly holding up traffic like that just isn't cool.

 

Are you kidding? I like to get in my car, start it up, reverse an inch or 2 ... then shut it down and run away as fast as possible!

 

Bwahahahahahahah!!

And you wonder why people scratch/egg cars? Come to think of it, that's another way to annoy motorists - maybe someone who vandalises cars can post here and we can all pat him on the back for it.

(Of course, I know *you're* kidding. My response was to the general tone of the thread, where frankly appalling driving behaviour is seemingly being condoned, even congratulated.)
