I just heard out my window a guy on some kind of cruiser motorcycle absolutely flip out on a driver for cutting him off. "gently caress you you fuckin' dick, gently caress you!!! You gonna cut me off, gently caress YOU!!! gently caress you gently caress you fuuuuuck youuuu!!!" for a good half a minute or so. The driver didn't say anything. I remember when that used to be me.

What causes those kind of meltdowns? The ones where you just don't loving let it go and you just keep going on yelling and yelling and yelling? What causes that? How do you sustain that?

How do you sustain that? Driving is stressful because of the constant threat of imminent death. When someone nearly hits you with their car, it feels like they are trying to kill you. Some people react to that with incessant rage, even though it is not productive at all.

EDIT: ^^^ Yeah that, well said.Teriyaki Hairpiece posted:What causes those kind of meltdowns? The ones where you just don't loving let it go and you just keep going on yelling and yelling and yelling? What causes that? How do you sustain that? Well any time I ever 'saw red' and screamed at someone (as a cyclist or motorcyclist) it was over a potentially injurious and damaging collision caused by their stupidity. I think maybe some people express being extra defensive - to account for the vulnerabilities of being on two wheels - in outwardly aggressive ways, and to an extent that's probably fair. I couldn't speak this guy's mental state was or how severe the potential collision, I was on the shitter so I couldn't look out the window at the scene.

Yeah, in theory, people who lack the emotional stability needed to drive in traffic should use another mode of transportation. Too bad most of North America has been developed with the assumption that everybody will drive everywhere.

I do occasionally yell at drivers cutting me off as I try to walk across a crosswalk. Gotten some few heated exchanges, esp with some guy who just wouldnt loving stop, hed just slow down to a gentle roll, ready to floor the gas the moment im out of his range. Good god can you stop for one loving second? I guarantee your timeloss isnt gonna affect your pb or wr attempts.

I have definitely said rude things and made gestures at drivers who, for example, cross a double yellow line on a 2-lane road to get around a bus at a marked stop and then floor it through the crosswalk to avoid oncoming traffic.

Type B personality disorders in general are prone to this sort of thing, but there's plenty of neurotypical people who do this shot too, so I don't think it's that straightforward.

Cars turn their drivers into sociopaths, ain't much more to it than that. Tom Vanderbilt covers it pretty well in his book Traffic - a car is a private space operating in a public space and people tend to treat what's going on around their car like they would if it were going on in their living room.

I think the main thing is the cognitive dissonance of the suicidality and murderousness of traveling at a speed that’s a fraction that when other drivers will start purposefully trying to run you off the road for driving too slow.

As a pedestrian I've yelled at drivers behaving badly, especially if they're going the wrong way up a one way which is dangerous as gently caress. My question was more about the long sustained meltdown yelling that goes on and on and on. I don't know how people do that or what causes it. Maybe I'm just old and tired and jealous of people with that kind of energy.

The last time I got hit by a car I was just too stunned to say anything. The last time I almost got hit by a car I cursed a blue streak until they were out of my eye sight. Given that leveling of reaction hopefully next time I'll kick their mirror of while screaming at them.

Oh wow, he painted it. It used to be green. I also didn't know he was in Alberta. I've never knocked off mirrors or kicked in panels, as a cyclist or motorcyclist, though I know plenty who have. A story for the thread, although this one is more ACAB than gently caress Cars: Once, as a cyclist, I almost copped an assault charge for spitting on the hood of someone's car. This was probably the summer of 2010, maybe '11, and I was riding home across the city after crashing at a friend's house. I was on a main road without a bike lane, and someone in a station wagon drifted to the right, into me, to the point that my handlebars were making contact with her car and the parked cars to my right. I hadn't had many encounters with drivers at this point and it was real scary; I thought she was going to squish me. When she came to a stop I got ahead of her car and yelled a bit, and yes, not proud of it, in a moment of rage I spat on her car, then went on my way. More than two kilometers later, a cop pulled me over. He asked for my ID, and never once got out of his car - I had to reach over his passenger seat to hand him the ID. If you guessed that this cop was corpulent, you'd be right. He explained that someone had witnessed the incident and that if they could find the victim and get a statement, I'd be charged with assault. I was shocked, although pretty immediately my mind was like "yeah I guess so," as even back then I knew this city hated cyclists. We sat for probably 20 minutes, my anxiety growing as I baked in the Sun and this cop sat in his AC, although near the end I could tell he was getting flustered because nobody was getting back to him on the rover. Either this driver was long gone or she didn't want to give a statement (thanks lady!). Finally he handed me back my ID and said "OK, you got lucky, but listen: There are people in this city who would beat your rear end for doing that." And I thought drat, true, a life lesson from a pig. And then he leaned in a little bit closer across his passenger seat and said "Matter of fact, if you did that to my car, I'd put six loving rounds into you."

People who see cars as like an extension of themselves blow me away. A friend of mine who I used to think was pretty cool - I told her about the time as a pedestrian someone turned right into my leg and hit me and I slammed my fist down on their hood to get them to stop - and she was like "wow I would have been pissed and slammed on the gas for that" and I was like "welp guess we arent friends any more what the gently caress" Like how the gently caress could you pull an assault charge for spitting on a car unless people see the car as an extension of themselves.
