Day Teaux..Rage
18I have grievances:
Learn to drive people…and barring that…get the fuck out of my way while I’m driving…just saying…
Learn to walk…if you are walking from your car to the inside of a store…move the fuck out of the way of people also trying to park so they can get out of their car and also make their way into said store…common fucking courtesy…just saying…
Learn to drive…again…only this time…use a fucking signal to indicate that you’d like to merge into a lane…I’m not a fucking mind reader…also…if my signal is on…let me in the fucking lane and don’t be an asshat that can’t share…you don’t own the fucking road…your taxes didn’t buy that much of it…just saying…
AND LASTLY…at least for today…
If you use the fucking Keurig at work…fill it back up you douchebag…and take your used pod with you…and for the douchebag who spilled coffee grounds into the utensils…wtf??? were you raised in a barn? do you not know how to pick up after yourself? do you have a maid at home? if so congrats and drag them to the office and have them clean up after you…
I had more energy 2 hours ago…but I stopped to watch the rest of Captive Marvel…I have only myself to blame…carry on…and be better than the rest of those aforementioned idiots…

Ahem, bad day? But you are right on all counts
@tinamarie1974 not a bad day…its just everyday…at least 5 days a week that is…between my commute…and having to run errands at lunch yesterday…its more of a rant then rage really…
You forgot the slowpoke ahead of you, because wherever the fuck they’re going is so much more important than getting to wherever you need to go on time.
@mike808 Don’t move to Austin. The person going too slow on the highway is doing so because they don’t want to crash while texting.
@mehvid1 You probably meant pulling up the delivery address in google maps for their door dash side gig while high on medical marijuana for stress and trying to decide if they had time to pull over for munchies.
@mike808 I mean, sure. That, too.
@mehvid1 @mike808 we had one here a couple years ago crash into a van that was on the side of the highway changing a flat. Driver was in the act of shooting up meth. Oh, and the van - a disability van. Cop said he wished it was the first time he had seen something like that.
As George Carlin said, it’s always the morons going too slow in front of you, and the maniacs behind you trying to drive up your ass.
That’s why I got SWMBO a rear window decal that says: “Sorry for going so slow in front of you…”
I gotta love the drivers who, when I politely and safely transition into their lane, in front of them by a good 6 seconds (which is a lot of distance to leave), while I am going at a speed that matches or exceeds that of the person newly behind me, are so offended that I moved into what is obviously their personal and wholly owned private lane, that they must honk, flash their lights, and/or make a huge show if speeding up to some insane speed in order to pull around me, pass me, and possibly make a point of cutting me off.
I suspect this group of drivers are also frequent tailgaters. And also are whiners/rage-ers.
I’m only glad I’m not related to them.
I try to make a point of not responding to their various simultaneous insults.
@f00l the people who pull those shenanigans make me nervous actually…its like a declaration of war…how dare you get in front of ME…do you know who I am?..yadda yadda yadda…if at that point if the traffic has slowed and we are doing a dead crawl…I’ll get the gun out of my glove compartment and keep it on the seat next to me…I have my child in the car…do not mess with me…I don’t trust the crazies who let the road rage get to them…and God forbid they snap…
@amehzinggrace @f00l If they’re off their meds, or coked, or in Florida, they can have the whole damned road.
@amehzinggrace @OldCatLady
And if they’re meth’d.
But here, they’re mostly just incredibly fristrated, impatient, arrogant, and entitled.
@f00l @OldCatLady yep…and the rain only makes them crazier…
Add on those that simply can’t park. I keep copies of this in my car and I’m not afraid to use them.
@cinoclav I may have to copy that. (It’s getting harder to key a car with modern keys!)
@chienfou Someone kindly made a nice pdf to download.

@cinoclav I need these for the hotel. I’ve actually watched someone park on the cameras and when they came in, suggested they go out and try again.
@cinoclav @KittySprinkles hahaha…I like that…nope…you fail at parking…you get one space…fix it now
@cinoclav
Watch out for illannoy plates. Especially watch out for illannoy plates on hondas. While its not an exclusive thing, more than half of the crappy stupid driving things I see are performed by drivers of hondas with illannoy plates.
@duodec There is also a sizeable population of Milwaukee cheeseheads that also can’t manage to understand lane markers.
FYI, folks with illanoy plates are called illanoyances. FIBbers is also acceptable.
@mike808 To be fair the worst drivers I ever saw were in Boston. However that was two occurrences in my life vs daily exposure to the honda driving malevolence here in illannoy.
@duodec @mike808 On the isle of Jersey all rental cars (or Hire cars in proper English) have red H plates on them. The natives maintain the H stands for Horror Car, not hire car.
