RANT: F-in rich a$$ SUV driver!

[conjur]

The EXACT reason I canNOT stand SUVs and their moron drivers:

So, I'm heading down the right lane of a 3-lane road (not a highway) and an SUV (white, Mercedes) is in the left lane and decides he wants to be in the right lane. He turns on signal (at least he did that) and then proceeds across both lanes of traffic and ends up no more than one-car length in front of me. I flash my high beams a couple of times to let him know how stupid of a move that was and then I drop back to a safe distance.

About a 1/4 mile later we end up approaching a red light and I get in the middle as there were fewer cars and I wanted to get away from this moron.

Well, he decides he wants to get behind me so he angles over and is now behind me. The light turns green and the next intersection is about 1/10 mile away and the light is red so I take off slowly and gradually approach the light (what's the point of a jack-rabbit start if I'm just going to stop again in 10 secs?) Well, I guess this guy in the SUV was just in a big hurry to get to the light so he cuts around me on the right and back in front of me (no signal this time) and I'm forced into the left lane (at this point, the road is down to two lanes as the far right is for turning only).

I slow down and get next to him and yell out "What is your problem a-hole?!" (I shouldn't have used that last word as my daughter was in the car but I was pissed! He almost caused an accident!) This guy is in his mid- to late-50s, gray hair, driving pompously with one hand and acting like the world needs to get out of his way. He replies, "I'm not the asshole, you weren't very courteous" (I assume meaning I was supposed to just hit my brakes and let him cut over in front of me the first time (despite the fact I was going about 10mph faster than he was at the time.) I finish off with a "You're just a complete moron" hit the horn and pull on up to the light.

So, now we're heading on a clear stretch and he's following me no more than a car-length away. We get to a point where people generally get in the left lane to head towards some development so he paces me on the left thinking he'll box me in. Well, I was going the other way and when figures that out, he cuts over behind me. Now, I'm nearing my destination (a Michael's craft store for my daughter to get some stuff to decorate a Valentine's box for school) and he follows me into the parking lot! (This guy needs some serious therapy.) I get out of the car and my daughter, too, and he sees her and says, "Oh that's great! Acting like that in front of your daughter." I replied, "yep, sure was of you. Now she know exactly what I mean when I talk about idiot SUV drivers. What else should I expect of a UK (Kentucky...he had a UK license plate) fan?" He didn't like that dig so he says, "Well, I'll just go back and do something to your car and you won't know who did it." WHAT?!??! This guy should be in a straightjacket!

I go into the store and watch him and he circles back to my car so I go back out and start calling 911 on the cell. He yells out, "oh, that's it. Get scared and call the cops" He finally drives off and that was that.

WTF?!?!?!??!

My guess is he's divorced, some type of lawyer or mktg exec, got his precious Mercedes SUV to show off his wealth and impress some younger babe that he'll never be able to satisfy as he's impotent as hell and a Viagra IV wouldn't help!

ARGH!!!!

D*mn that sh*t pisses me off!!!

<siiiiigggggghhhhh> Ahhh.....serenity now.

 

[gopunk]

rich people are some of the worst drivers i have ever seen... lexus ones are the worst.

 

[Orsorum]

Frustrated, eh? Least there was no damage.

 

[Rent]

<< lexus ones are the worst. >>



Not to be racist, but old oriental ladys in any sort of land barges piss me off. They drive 30 miles an hour in the left lane, hold EVERYONE UP, and can never make up their mind :|

I carry a bat in my car for assholes like that. It usually scares them pretty quickly.

 

He could have done that in a m3 or a corvette.
His attitude is very non-vehicle specific.

Yeah, all SUV drivers are morons. Just like all Firebird and Camaro drivers. And, all VW drivers. And, all minivan drivers. And, all Civic drivers. And, all pickup truck drivers. And, all Tercel drivers. And, all Cadillac drivers. And, all Maxima drivers.

BTW, what do YOU drive?

[flot]

Hmm, yeah, let's see...

guy accidentally cuts you off in traffic...

vs

You make an ass of yourself, bitch some guy out who presumably just plain didn't see you, get into a shouting match with him in a parking lot... all in front of your school-age daughter.

Huh.

 

[ToBeMe]

I've had the same thing happen to me with people driving everything from ricers to family sedans.....................no need to lump it into an SUV hating thread...........

 

[vi edit]

Bah. This type of behavoir is typically displayed by mullet headed thug wearing a stained NASCAR tshirt who's driving a POS Camaro with more BONDO on it than paint with a drooping dual exhaust that's held one with a couple pieces of wire.

 

[Pacfanweb]

I suppose you'd feel better if he was driving a Mercedes car instead of the SUV? You think he's had an SUV all his life, or did he just get this one and forget how to drive at the same time?

Uh...did you not read the whole thing? (Granted, it was a bit of a diatribe, eh?)

Well, I guess this guy in the SUV was just in a big hurry to get to the light so he cuts around me on the right and back in front of me (no signal this time) and I'm forced into the left lane (at this point, the road is down to two lanes as the far right is for turning only).

Accidentally?? The guy was a pompous a$$.

And, yes, I cannot stand SUVs. I think they are a total waste for 98% of their use. The other 2% are valid, I suppose, for people who have a need for off-road use or haul equipment. And, yes, in my observations over the last 3 years, SUV drivers are the worst.

 

[Goldfish]

Got something against UK? I guess, since you get a win against us once every decade on the court .

 

[conjur]

<< Got something against UK? I guess, since you get a win against us once every decade on the court . >>



At least in football.

All of my in-laws are UK fans (used to be one myself unti Joe B. ruined UK's chances in the first Dream Game)

 

[Murphyrulez]

On a sidenote, have you ever noticed that about 80% of professional athletes drive large SUV's (Expedition, Escalade, Tahoe).

Are they morons too?

I took a look at the rig in you sig and that's too wasteful. You don't need that kind of equipment. It's people like you who let the power plants pollute the air and kill the rain forest

I bet he was yacking on a cell phone as well wasn't he??!!!!!!!!

2002 and people still don't realize that Oriental only applies to a small portion of asia or asians. Oriental rugs, sure. Oriental tea, maybe. Surprise, there are some countries that are not part of the orient. But assuming you just didn't know this, I agree that asian drivers are pretty bad. Not all, but many. Especially older ones.

you should see the attitude of drivers here in newport coast....

Yep, pretty much!

Professional athletes are a bunch of overpaid, whiny-a$$ showoffs. Well, there's a few who have some redeeming qualities. All I can say, though, is I'm glad the Hornets didn't move here. But, that's digressing.

When someone tailgates you, all you have to do is stop. I don't recommend this on the highway, but if you're in the city and have someone tailgating you, just pull to the right lane. If he is in intent on following you so closely, just stop and turn on your emergency blinkers. You can even go outside and check out your car and stuff... If he's really following you closely, he'll have to drop it into reverse and so forth. While doing so, you can just cut in front of him. Doesn't really matter what car he drives, there's very lil chance he'll be able to pull in front of you unless he has a good amount of space.

Hmmm nevermind, you shouldn't do what I just said. There is a reason I pay $310/month for car insurance.

ASIAN, not oriental. We are people not rugs.

Yes for the most part a lot of them are probably fairly close to moronic.

I have yet to hear of a single one who upon retirement spent the rest of their live's doing brain surgery or rocket science.

I would be very interested in knowing the avarage IQ in pro. sports.

(and before anyone points it out to me, yes I know I spell poorly!)
