Time to do some soul searching for yourself buddy. Passive aggression if left untreated is never a good thing. No, you don't have to send me a check for the free session.

parody thread?

Unfortunately, his threads about road rages aren't parodies. I <expletive> HATE/DESPISE/<hate crimes worthy acts> passive aggressive assholes on the road.

Regularly? I think I've had one other in the last 4 years.

I've also had a couple close calls on the bicycle...maybe you're thinking of those?
 
Sometimes you're the asshole behind flashing the lights, sometimes you're the asshole in front. what a suprise 😕
 
Some old dead dude said this once "You have to be the change you want to see in the world". Even though you don't think the world is changing, but it'll change you and that is enough.

No harms are ever done if people would just ignore the unpleasantries that don't really affect them in anyways. Try it sometimes, you'll feel better knowing that you're a better person. You haven't lost anything if you've moved over and let that person go; maybe he has somewhere really important to get to, like his dying kin... (I know, I know, melodramatics...)
 
I was going over the speed limit in the left lane while passing a row of semis and it took a minute or two. When I returned to the right lane someone passing me flipped me off. Maybe he was having a bad day or something I don't know or care, what is the point of smiling and waving and being a dick. Just ignore assholes or you become one yourself.

After waving at him I did let it go.

Then he proceeded to tailgate me for a couple miles and I still did nothing more.

Then he threw a hunk of metal at my door...that's when I called the cops.
 
Waving at him was a dumb thing to do. I just ignore anything like that these days, I used to be stupid but after almost having a surprisingly fit drug addict attack me in broad daylight and cops around doing nothing, I decided from now on it isn't worth it. Even if you have the means to defend yourself, why would you want to.. I don't want to be fighting a hobo in the street or some dumbass while driving. People are animals and when you run into ones like this who aren't domesticated you should just stay away IMO
 
I was once in this Mustang in San Francisco and had two murderers chasing me in a Dodge Charger all over the place. It was an epic car chase, they were shooting at me and stuff. Finally they crashed and died due to my expert driving.

How do you "man up behind the wheel"?

I'm not sure, but I think it involves ejaculating on your steering wheel.
 
That is not ?PWNED?.

?PWNED? is having 17-19 year old ricer kid in a purple Neon rev his engine at you at a no right on red stop because he wants you to turn right, then making an illegal pass on the left, almost hit someone trying to merge into the road, speed off doing 70 on a 35MPH and then finding him 3 miles down the road getting his ass kicked by a VERY angry man who was rear ended while exiting an army base by the ricer.

THAT is ?PWNED?.

But he did have a great escape.

You know when they are on your ass like that, you have every right to slam on your brakes to avoid hitting a Chipmunk that runs out in front of you, which would cause him to run into the back end of your car, which is 99% his fault for tailgating you and running into your rear end.

That sir would of been "ownage", for you would of had witnesses that would of stopped saying to the cops he was riding your ass, and driving all nuts for no reason, you saw something tapped your brakes, and BAM he ran into you. Then the cops would of showed up and we would of heard then what the cops actually did to him 😀

Damn Chipmunks can be a pain in the ass and scary on the highway.

I wasn't going to say anything until I read "would of" 5 times in your post. It's "would have".
 
Owned is the guy who just HAD to cut in front of me while merging, and one the very next merge, he was too worried about getting ahead of everyone else and clipped a snowbank. Not enough to crash, but enough to freak him out. The car fishtailed for a second and he recovered. I'm guessing he was pissed because he just mashed the gas and ran off.

Owned is when my fince was driving home in the snow with an Escalade on her rear bumper. He starts flashing her, and she does nothing but keep on going the speed limit (conditions are pretty bad, mind you). He decides to be a hero, cross over the double line and pull in front of her. Except while he's pulling back to the right, he loses traction, runs off the road and slams into a telephone pole. Of course, my fiance is sure to slow down, beep and wave. Apparently the guy was freaking out. Rightfully so.

Can you rice a neon? I mean, I thought it was called ricing because the car was made in an asian country. A neon is an american car...would it be corning? Cheese burging? Actually, its probably made in mexico so it should probably be beaned.

Don't be so sure. I'm sure that some judges would say *you're* the one driving reckless for slamming on your brakes to save a chipmunk. Someone who is willing to do so might not be the safest driver with the best judgement.
 
this morning driving to work i had a jackass tailgate me for about 10 miles (2 lane road) when i go to I-25 the road opens up for turn lanes and the jackass whips around me and flips me off. I have no idea what his problem was the speed limit is 65 and i was going the 68-70 because the car in front of me was going that speed. so the jackass is now two cars in front of me and doesnt get to his destination any faster... i would have loved to just ask him wtf his problem was. i guess some people just cant stand to have anybody in front of them.
