I had a kinda close encounter with a McSame/Palin(comparison) supporter today.
Advertisements [?]We were leaving the Staples in Waterville, Maine today and were about to turn onto Main st. I am a cautious driver and I always follow the law about stopping at a red light before turning right. I do so today.
The exact second I'm stopped, the idiot behind me starts LEANING on his horn. Now if this had been a toot, I'd have waved and gone, but this was a long blaring noise for a good 10 seconds. Even then, I'm about to go, but he leans on his horn again. When I have this kind ocf a person behind me, I make it a point to NOT do what they want, so I stay.
At this point the bozo gets out of his car. If he had come towards my car, I'd have turned then, but he just yelled that if I had half a brain, I'd be a half wit. When the light turned, he zoomed past me and we saw the McSame/Palin(comparison) sticker on his car.
My wife said that the guy was probably pissed at our bumper stickers, one is an Obama sticker, the other says "When bush took office gas was $1.46". The guy went screeching down the road in congested (for Maine) traffic.
I was successful in accomplishing what my father always advised. That is, if you're in conflict with an idiot, always make sure that HE is the one who gets all pissed off.
PEACE!

1. Next time, make note of his license plate.
I would have no problem calling the police and alerting them to an out of control driver heading x direction on xx street.
I like your spunk. I would've done the same thing you did. Tee hee hee!

3. I'm hearing about too many incidences like this one, lately.
Please be careful. Republicans are angrier than usual right now.

14. Think of all the gas he wasted by peeling out like that!
LOL! Good for you for keeping your cool. In situations like this, I have begun to think, "What would Obama do?"
These people CANNOT be serious...

Your Dad was a failure if you are the product of his teaching. IF this happened at all, I'm sure it didn't happen the way you described. And the person who was blowing his horn at you has long forgotten the event and is on to other more important things. You, on the other hand, are still so bothered about it you felt compelled to come to the DUmp and write about it.

But sadly they are.

When I was much, much younger I used to get annoyed with impatient drivers behind me. People who lean on the horn, when they think you should move more quickly. I would think 'fine, you think I'm slow now, wait until you see how slow I can be'.
Then I had an experience that made me look at it in a different light. My mom was in the hospital, I was about an hour or so from home. We got news that she was to be taken in for life saving but also life threatening surgery, as soon as they could get her in. Now when I see a very impatient driver, I remember how I felt that day trying to get to the hospital to see my mom and I just get out of their way.
I know that many of them are just being impatient for stupid reasons, but I don't want to be the spiteful asshole purposely delaying someone, who may have a very good reason for being anxious to get where they're going.

You obviously haven't driven in Mass, terry. The state sport is not the Red Sox or the Patriots, it's trying to see if you can get close enough to the bumper of the guy in front of you so that you cannot fit a piece of paper in between the bumpers while doing 80 mph.
I'd love to see these assclowns last more than about 10 seconds in LA traffic. Whoopsie! ANOTHER rear ender!

D.C. traffic is nuts too. I'd rather drive in rush hour in Seoul again.

I'll take a jeepney in the Phillipines to the Barrio. You may live, you may not, but at least you knew beer was at the end of the ride.

There are a couple, but they're usually attached to cars with Veteran plates.

Advertisements [?]We were leaving the Staples in Waterville, Maine today and were about to turn onto Main st. I am a cautious driver and I always follow the law about stopping at a red light before turning right. I do so today.
I had just come from my dealers hose and was high as a kite. I was going to get some cheetos and cigarettes at the store on Main street. I got lost in a day dream of the Obama winning the election and forgot that you could turn right on red light. Hey who hasn't after a good doobie?
The exact second I'm stopped, the idiot behind me starts LEANING on his horn. Now if this had been a toot, I'd have waved and gone, but this was a long blaring noise for a good 10 seconds. Even then, I'm about to go, but he leans on his horn again. When I have this kind ocf a person behind me, I make it a point to NOT do what they want, so I stay.
I still don't know what is gong on and now I hear a horn that I can't figure out where it is coming from.
At this point the bozo gets out of his car. If he had come towards my car, I'd have turned then, but he just yelled that if I had half a brain, I'd be a half wit. When the light turned, he zoomed past me and we saw the McSame/Palin(comparison) sticker on his car.
I still don't know what is going on and now the guy behind me is throwing his arms up in exasperation. Finally I get a glimmer of a clue as I notice the light has turned green and begin to make my turn. I'm going so slow that the guy behind me has to floor it to get through on the yellow.
My wife said that the guy was probably pissed at our bumper stickers, one is an Obama sticker, the other says "When bush took office gas was $1.46". The guy went screeching down the road in congested (for Maine) traffic.
My wife looked through the red slits that were her eyes and remembered she had left her purse at my dealer's house and blamed Bush for it.
I was successful in accomplishing what my father always advised. That is, if you're in conflict with an idiot, always make sure that HE is the one who gets all pissed off.
We laughed and laughed until tears came out our eyes. I suddenly remembered that my father always called me an idiot when was high. It would get me really pissed off.
PEACE![/quote]

Where the right of way is determined by the size of your vehicle....
