Sometimes the people you share the road with are pretty cool. Sometimes. Case in point: today on my way home the car in front of me (who was actually going the speed limit or slightly above the whole time) signals that they're turning at the next right, which has a turn lane. But they don't enter it, which aggravates me, and I start braking in preparation for more idiocy. They don't slow down, however, just whip it into the turn with a hint of trail-braking near the apex, and take off down their road at flat chat. They are driving a mid-90's Buick Roadmaster wagon.  Wanna shake that persons hand.

Coming home on I-64E today, cruise set at 78, almost no traffic, life is good. Start gaining on a newer Highlander, New Jersey plate # LGV 46A, and I go to pass. As soon as I get in the left lane, I stop gaining on them. Whatever, I'll just get back behind them, still plenty of following distance. Soon as I get back over I start gaining on them again. Go to pass, they increase speed again. I decide I'd rather not dance with retards and increase speed to 85. He follows suit, once I'm half a car length ahead. So, I just mat the gas and take it to 100. Once he's good and distant, I'll drop back to 80 and forget about it. A couple miles later I catch up with slower traffic, so dickhead also catches up. He gets right on my rear end, and keeps trying to pass me on the right (but cannot, because there are even slower cars littering that lane and he keeps getting stuck behind them  ). He finally gets enough opening to get next to me, does so, and suddenly swerves towards me. Unnerved, I start slowing down, he follows suit. Then his window comes down and a cup of ice is tossed at my windshield. So I called the state police and reported his rear end. As soon as he saw my phone come out he slammed on the brakes, got behind me, and stayed about 10 car lengths away until I took my exit. Hope you like talking to Staties, you loving childish shitstain.

A-loving-men The Fozzy won't pass because it has a small exhaust leak and bad steering rack seals. Everything actually safety related is brand loving new, but god forbid I let a small amount of exhaust miss the muffler and top off the fluid every couple weeks.

Had a surreal experience yesterday. Highway packed with traffic, but the left lane was moving along steadily at 75mph while the right was going around 65-70. Every one stayed in their lanes, nobody slowed the left down for bullshit, people maintained a somewhat reasonable following distance. I was shocked. And then I went into town later and saw more displays of idiocy and dickishness than I have fingers.

gently caress people that cannot stay in their lanes, even (especially) if they are hauling rear end. All the roads around my house are 2 lane but unmarked, which apparently means drive on whatever side you goddamn feel like whenever you please. I barely bat an eye when a soccer mom in a Tahoe comes around a blind corner halfway in my lane, it happens so loving often.

Haha, I passed a bro-truck (Chevy HD3500 with stacks and a huge lift) broken down on the side of the road today as well, made me smile.

Most of the time you don't even need the horn - the moment I pass by somebody and they recognize that it's an ambulance, you can almost see them apologize for <insert x dick move they did earlier here>. It's glorious. Some people are just overly courteous. I've had three people stop at an intersection they did not have a stop sign for this month, to try and let me through when my road does have a stop sign. No, dumbass, I'm not going to go just because you waved at me. You shouldn't have stopped ever and I am perfectly happy to just sit here and stare at you until you figure that out.
