5. When someone tailgates me, I "granny drive" or I jam my brakes. |
|
If I'm on a two-lane highway, I'll slow down just enough so that they can't pass, and if I need to turn off, I do it at a granny's pace--sloooowly, brake, sloooowly, brake, slooowly--so that the whole turn takes about 30 seconds. If they ride my bumper, I jam on my brakes and scare the shit out of them.
If I'm on a four-lane highway and if I'm already doing 80 in the left lane and some asshole comes up behind me doing 95 and brightens his lights and rides my bumper, I speed up enough to get beside a car in the right lane, and then I maintain just enough speed to keep the asshole behind me from passing...and then, again, I do the brake-slam thing to scare the shit outta him (or of course, her)if he's riding my bumper.
I don't play well with aggressive drivers.
(And I never do any of this if MMjr's in the car.)

If I am feeling serene and happy with the world, I just let it go. If I am mildly annoyed, I make comments about it. If I am feeling combative, I pass them and cut them off myself.

I can remember getting out of my car at a traffic light to yell at the guy in front of me for cutting me off at 7:30 in the morning. I loved my lil 73 Triumph Spitfire!
I wouldn't do that today.

crunch ya if you were in a Spitfire or little Miata. I used to love those Spitfires when I was in high school. Liked the TR7 also, although it seems SO 70's now.

16. Well, first I range up next to them |
|
Then I put the car on auto-pilot, climb out the window and fling myself onto their hood. I punch out their windshield, reach in, grab the driver by the throat and drag him/her out onto the hood with me. Then I let them hang down inches from the road which is now flashing by at about 100 mph because somehow the vehicle has kept going through all this. I wait for them to cry, beg and plead for their life and then I grin and drop them, turning them into a mangled mess of flesh on the pavement.
I used to be really bad but I've gotten much better with therapy. O8)
