If somebody creeps up my ass at an uphill light I let the car roll backwards before engaging first just to make them a bit paranoid the next time. That is the only asshole move I do while driving.

Yeah, well I'm that guy.

That's not a dick move, it's what everyone should do. I can't fucking stand people who try to merge 30 car lengths before the merge is necessary. All it does is slow down the merge-to lane. So I just stay in the merge-from lane. It's called a zipper, why hasn't our society grasped this driving concept yet?

Of course I have my moments, but I generally do not care enough about what the other drivers are doing to get pissed off at them. Actually, I am pretty good at predicting "dick moves", which just makes me laugh to myself at the move in question and continue on driving safely.

I hate the whole waiting awkwardly for 5-10 seconds as the other person does that little jog to the door. And I hate it when people do it for me. I never say thanks, unless it's obvious I needed a bit of help. People are perfectly capable of opening a door, unless of course, their arms are full.

:thumbsup:

the "dick move" i do is not letting that asshole in front of me. i had a guy try to get in front of me at a merge before, rode the curb for almost 3/4 a mile until the next exit on the freeway before he floored it, cut off people getting onto the freeway and cut off a semi 5 cars ahead of me.

Yeah, well I'm that guy.

If you tried that next to me you'd be driving through the barrels instead of next to them!

You must be the guy that sticks his car halfway into the lane, newsflash, there are ways around that. :)

No, I stay in my lane and drive, but you'll be damn sure there isn't a gap in front of me.

This. I can honestly say I have yet to let one of those retards get in front of me. They can go veering off a cliff for all I care.

I laugh at nerd rage.

Nah no raging. The retards just don't get in :)

Eh, I cut people off all the time. I'm almost certain I can get in front of you, even if you really dont want me to. I mean, you're not going to crash your car just in order to keep me out. And I bet you care about your car more than I care about mine.

If I want to get in front of you, I'm going to.

ive played that game many times. ive been hit by a couple people, they paid for the repairs as well. i care about my truck, but i also know that here in az your dumb ass will get the ticket and ill get a new bumper.

after reading the rest of this thread, i do have to clarify that i let people merge all the time, if traffic is flowing well and they werent just 50 cars behind me, floored it down the merge lane specifically to cut off traffic.

Walk up to a buddy at a party who's trying to hit on a chick that I think I deserve more than he does and say, "Hey, dude! When's your wife/girlfriend getting back in town from her trip? I bet you can't wait to see your son. You must miss him a lot. How long they been gone now? Like 2 weeks is it?"
I believe this play is commonly known as the cock-block.

Been there, too. Never actually got hit, but had a number of absolute morons go ballistic because I wouldn't let them squeeze into the 3 feet of space between me and the car in front of me. Just LMAO while their BP spiked.

People like you are the reason why we have traffic jams.

I'm a major dick all around, at least as far as I can tell. I do TONS of shit for my own enjoyment. Like in the situation you described, I'd adjust my speed accordingly so that you couldn't get over (assuming I was at the front of the line where you needed to merge, etc). Not to be mean, or "teach you a lesson," but just because I think it's funny, because I know the other person is raging at me.

I do lots of stuff for the lulz. My office is usually pretty laid back, because we're so far from the main headquarters, so I brought up a ton of little piddly shit that no one here cares about, but is a major HR violation, just to watch the anarchy. Oh god it was glorious. People were wondering who had turned them in. They were bitter at HR, wanting them to leave us alone and let things go back to the way they were. It's been almost 6 months now, and it still isn't :)

Yeah, I'm THAT guy.


Edit: Holy damn I love commas

You sound like the fat chick everyone hates because she shits on everyone hoping for some company in her misery.

But I'm not looking for any company. I don't go around telling people of my deeds hoping they enjoy it with me. I watch the situations unfold and enjoy them. Oh, and I'm not miserable :)

So you are just a sociopath?

404 - logic not found. What I described is the most efficient way to merge 2 lanes.

Trying to pass me on the right? I'll box your ass in and keep you there for miles, and not make eye contact. I'll even pass my exit just to mess with you. I enjoy road rage and the adrenaline rush that goes with it.

Tailgating? I gradually slow down, 1 or 2 mph at a time, until they realize they are going 50 on the freeway and swerve into another lane.

One time an old man in a Mercedes would not pull to the right and let faster traffic pass, I made a few passes up close to his bumper to let him know, no response, so I flashed my highbeams at him and he did a brake check, causing me to lock my brakes and almost crash in the rain. I was road raging now and finally was able to pass on the right. I did a brake check in front of his Mercedes, and I saw his front end dive and all of the cars behind him brake-I almost caused a huge accident . I will never do something like that ever again.

Dick move? Naw, just doing my part to help traffic flow smoothly for everybody.

ususally in traffic i dont care what the fuck is going on, as long as i dont get a harsh cutoff i just cruise along

but if im in a mood to be a dick, ill do the rolling roadblock and whatever the fuck else i want and ill be god damned if im going to consider anyone else. but this is pretty rare

i got hit 3 times. one time the guy grazed my impala, barely bumped me. he swerved to the right and got in behind me, flipping me off the whole time. when i started pulling off to the side of the freeway he changed lanes and floored it. anther time the guy literally just changed lanes on top of me, my bumper hit about where his sentra doors met in the middle. took a gouge out of his car for about 18" and creased the rest back to the back bumper. he could have stopped that at any point, we were only going 5MPH when it happened. we both stopped, i got one foot out of my car and he was on the attack. ran back at me, yelling at the top of his lungs and almost swung at me, i stood up and waited for it but he backed off and left. didnt call the cops, didnt do anything. other time a lady bounced off my truck bumper, waved me off and floored it. each time i had no damage other than a few scratches on bumpers, and every time it has left considerable cosmetic damage to the other person.


edit: the paid for accidents werent merge accidents, they were dbag accidents. one swerved into me because i didnt let him in fast enough, he hit my back bumper im assuming to spin me around. didnt work, bent the bumper and some plastic parts and had to pay. other was a brake check when a guy was tailgating me, but it was due to traffic stopping in front of me. he was tailgating due to me not letting him cut me off.

I'd say yes from an antisocial standpoint, but not from a psychotic view. I just make my own fun. It just happens to be at the expense of others if it's going to generate particularly exceptional humor.
