Why do people screw with me?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I totally agree there are many people on the roads that don't have a clue and should not be on them, just come drive around PEI for a week and you will meet a ton of them. But I have to say from what you have said you just perpetuate the problem, cutting people off and slamming the brakes on is not the way to do it, that just make for two pissed off drivers on the road. When some jack off is trying to cut in and you hit curbs etc. trying to keep your spot, why not think whats more impotent you and your car or the one car length your trying to keep? Just slow down and let the jackass in, it will save you a lot of grief and anger.
I know I used to be the same way and get very mad at stupid drivers and pull the same stunt's you are to "get even" now I have more important things to worry about and give the jack-offs and drunks(you get a lot of DUIs around here) lots of space who cares if I'm 2 mins later then if I fought with them, at lest I know I'll make it home to my wife and son and know that when my son is in the car he won't be hurt. To be honest I see guys doing what you talk about every day to each other and it just makes me cringe.

Based off your stories it seems like people mess with you because you're an aggressive, inconsiderate driver.
I let alot of things go. I move over to the right when people come up behind me, I move to the left to let people on the road. I blow it off if somebody accidently cuts me off, or weaves into my lane, I have been hit a few times, and just said the hell with it (if the damage wasn't to bad, I gave up on driving nice cars), or got out and asked if they were OK, after they hit me, but when someone screws with me, F them. I am on the road for most of the day, and there are people out there who will put their blinker on and come over on top of you, because they wait for the last second to get over. Their are people who will turn in front of you, when there is absolutely no chance that they can make it, and I have had to slam on the brake and swerve to avoid hitting them.

Then I shouldn't tell you about the guy who almost run me up a curb, to get 1 space up in traffic, that I tried to run into a tractor trailer, because he wouldn't give up trying to come into my lane, on top of me.

You sound as if you are proud of all the battles you have won on the road. Never once thinking about the majority of the people who are just innocent bystanders to your juvinille games.

You've only told 3 stories and you actually think your actions are justified in all three, which most people see as just ridiculas. Some day you'll kill someone on the road with your driving, hopefully it will only be yourself.
 
i had a similar situation. i was driving on a 2 way highway here. i was in the right lane, no one in the left. i was fast approaching a car in the right lane so i moved over to the left. the idiots as i was passing them cut me off staying about 10 below the speed limit. i was like what the hell!!! they are gonna cause on accident. so i move to the right lane to pass and they cut me off again. im getting pissed off now cause i just want to get away from them. so i gunned it into the left lane and passed them. those kids are gonna hurt someone!!! i try not to tailgate or make gestures at people who play games like that. you never know who has a gun these days. a few yrs ago while approaching an intersection in milwaukee that had just turned green i came up on a car about 2 car lenghts. they were slow off the green light. well they thought i was too close and waved a gun at me... so yeah, i yell on my car but i never direct it at anyone.

if i cut someone off or make a traffic blunder i always put my hand up to aknowledge it was my bad
 
don't try to understand crazy people

one night I was in the passenger seat while my husband was driving home. some psycho drove up next to us and gave us a dirty look, then sped up, got in front of us and slowed down. but he was purposely trying to start something and we didn't know why. I told my husband to just stay as far away from the guy as possible.

we were trying to stay away from him, but each move we made, he made too. we ended up swirving across 4 lanes of traffic to make an emergency exit to escape this guy. for all we know he was some escaped mental patient.


don't ever confront people on the road. you don't know who you're dealing with and could end up being followed home and shot or shot right there. everyone is out driving, even murderers.


fact is you just don't know. so don't get all hard and try to prove something

Over 25, I have no problem with my anger. It is other people who have the problem it. I'm fine as long as people don't start with me for no reason.

Sound like the dude from the movie "Shoot 'Em Up". Then he clipped the BMW for not signaling.

But seriously, I know I get road rage too, and even got out of my car 3 times but I doubt I'm going to do it if it's on the freeway, or if I'm outnumbered.

also, you got to think what if they got guns?

Sometimes, just let them be; they're going to get theirs.

And you be safe.:)
