If you're in the passing lane and someone wants to pass you, you should get over. She didn't cut him off, he finally moved over and she blitzed past him. Not saying that tailgating and losing her poo poo is appropriate or acceptable, but he's not blameless here; if he's not going passing speeds, he shouldn't be in the passing lane.

He drives like a 90 year old grandma.
She drives like a psycho.
Thus, they are both bad (for different reasons) and should both get the gently caress off the road.

you dont know if he (the husband) was driving the car or not

Jeffrey of YOSPOS posted:

The worst consequences of him driving slowly for her were, at worst, she gets home a few minutes later.
Until you drive in any sort of inclement weather, when having some idiot driving >10mph slower than anyone else means people have to hit their brakes to avoid hitting you (and thus causing someone to hydroplane and making a lot more than 3 corpses). Being an obstacle on the road is not something you should be, or be proud of; there's a reason some states use the speed of traffic as the law or as an affirmative defense against speeding. Drive the speed of traffic so traffic can move.

But this is already a stupid as gently caress argument so I'm going to cut you off and not keep arguing it. Possibly while flipping you off, depends on if my window's down or not.

he may have been driving the coworkers car, and they may have been on a limited access road vs just a multilane road, but there's a ton of question marks there versus two things we know, the OP has a history of moving violations and was driving very aggressively - enough to have been pulled over and possibly arrested had a cop seen it

...so we're pretty much all queued up for a derail where people set their assumptions based on what makes them maddest and then post from there

we dont know how fast or slow the other car was going. we only have the word of an admitted aggressive driver with multiple speeding tickets to go on. not a very reliable narrator imo

Drive carefully and reasonably, and don't drive aggressively. You will still get home just fine even if people drive side by side across all lanes at 60 on a 65 mph highway.

Also, I definitely don't care if you're pissed off that I'm in the passing lane overtaking someone by going 70 when they're going 60 on a 65 road and you feel the need to tail gate me through the entire pass then, despite having my blinker on, the moment there is a single car length between me and the car I passed you swerve into their lane, accelerate further, then swerve infront of me.

Crazy coworker [26F] is texting me [24M] telling me how much she is interested on me, trying to schedule to meet me after work, even though she knows I'm married and totally not interested.

quote:

First of all, sorry english is not my first language.

So, it is as the title says.

We work at the same office, she sits on the desk across from mine and is married as well as I'm, and recently we've been talking more with each other, but nothing out of the ordinary. (I have a good relationship with pretty much everyone here, except for Carl - gently caress you Carl and your credit stealing habits!)

Just cheap chat about regular stuff (how was the weekend, look this funny video, what do you think about this, that, etc).

Then she started texting telling me that she is surprised about how easy is to talk to me and how she enjoys how the conversation just flows. And I was "cool, me too, you're nice."

Last week I left my car at the Auto Repair, since the brake started to make a funny noise, and since she lives 2 blocks away from where I live, I asked for a ride home.

We are on traffic going home, talking about regular stuff, then she brings the subject again about how nice our convesations have been, and I agree. I have plenty female friends, so this is not uncommon for me.

Then she starts talking about how interesting is that we have some different opinions about stuff but we get along well anyways, and I'm "yeah, sure".

This is when I noticed things got fuckin' weird. She then says she started looking at me differently, and that she's attracted by me and put her hand on my tight.

I thanked her and told she's nice and good-looking, but we're just collegues, we're both married, I respect her but I'm not interested, so no way anything is going to happen.

The rest of the ride was an awkward silence.

When I got home, she kept texting me about how we're getting along so well and stuff, how she is not in the best moment in her marriage, etc. Then I received a lot of instagram notifications of her mass-liking my photos.

I replied the texts trying not to be rude, saying that maybe she should use her energy and time to resolve the problems she is having at home instead of... this. At this point I think she is crazy and the best way to avoid any problems is to just dismiss the crazy poo poo she is saying and keep it cool and distant, since we work together in a 55 people company.

She says it's not just physical attraction, and that she's jealous and can't stand see my wife's posts on instagram with me. Red alert!

And now she wants to meet me after work or during the lunch brake out of the office, to talk about things.

I haven't told any of this to my wife yet, and I was not planning to do so, since she is way too stressed out recently with her job and some problems with her parents.

So I'd like to know from the All-Might & All-Knowing Reddit how:

To avoid this crazy lady getting more crazy and try cause problems at work and with my marriage?

Wives of reddit, if you were my wife, would you like me to tell you what's happening or just deal with it?

My plan so far is to let her know AGAIN that I'm not interested, just play it cool and dismiss what she is saying, slowly decreasing the number of interaction we have until everything fades into a regular coworker stuff.

tl;dr: crazy married female collegue wants me, but I'm just want her to stop being crazy. How to do that? Should I tell my wife (stressed about other stuff) what's going on or just deal with it?

drat there was really no way I thought I could possibly be on the husband's side...and then the text.

Husband (35m) took the keys to my car (28f) and says he'll give them back in a week

My girlfriend and I had to come to a mutual agreement that she wasn't able to drive anymore. It's definitely different than this case but the plain fact was she was horrible at driving and a danger to herself, those around her, and especially our cars. The last time I purchased the insurance on the car (because her rates were way too high) and then she crashed it. I told her she was done, I wouldn't insure any more cars for her and she would have to make alternate arrangements for transportation for the foreseeable future.

Obviously that's not the same situation totally but there are some parallels. She's a dangerous driver, it's his car, and he has the right to disallow her using it. Phrasing it as concern for her own safety and those of others is probably his best move, not whining about how she embarrassed him in front of his coworker.
