  • Pardon me, I'll just drive slower.

    I was driving home this morning from the BF's apartment when coming up behind me, I spotted Angry Arm Waving Hand Signal Girl. You know who I'm talking about. Full of violent hand gestures and an eternal cat-butt face.

    This road we were on, well, it's notorious for being a speed trap. The limit is 35mph, and the majority of the town's police force likes to hang out along the two-three mile stretch where the speed limit is low. I was driving between 35 and 40. I sure as hell didn't want to be pulled over.

    But that wasn't fast enough for Angry Arm Waving Hand Signal Girl. The moment she pulled in behind me, she started gesturing. Slamming her hands on the steering wheel. Sneering and taunting with loud words that I couldn't hear. I slowed to an even 35. The hand gesturing increased.

    And then I slowed to a stop, turn signal on like a good little driver, sitting and waiting for the oncoming traffic to clear so I could turn left. And in the lane to my right, there was too much traffic for her to get over.

    I chuckled. She was banging on the steering wheel, throwing her arms up in the air, inching closer to me.

    Oh no! I could have turned then but the cars were going so fast. I waited until I couldn't see any oncoming cars. It took a while. I'm surprised she didn't explode.

    Patience, people, patience.

    I have seen MANY people just like her. Also in young male form and middle aged woman form!

    This one woman must have been having a serious hot flash or something and needed to get home NOW...or was just late for work like everyone else in the morning....because she kept waving and flipping out and got so close to my bumper that I started to wonder when we'd make contact with each other.

    I haven't seen anyone smacking their steering wheel since Little Penis Man in the McDonalds Drive Thru back in February.

      Quite the bold assumption to think he even has a penis.

            Ok, do you have lemons? Go grab one. Peel it, and put 2 or 3 segments into your mouth. Start chewing. That face you make? Where your lips purse up and you suck the insides of your cheeks? That's a catbutt face

                      Thank you.

                      It's good to know that I'm not the only one who does things like that.

                      Usually, for me, it's young men driving huge trucks way too fast.

                      The best is when I'm on a two-lane street/avenue, I will match speed limit with the car in the next lane. Sometimes I'll pull ahead a bit, the punk in the truck will change lanes (usually planting him RIGHT on my bumper), then I'll slow down a bit and the punk will change lanes back.

                      The BEST of the best is when the driver in the car next to me looks at me, nods, and then starts to slow down as well!

                          Mom did that once in a town that was notorious for speeding tickets. Every time I drove through there, there'd be 2-3 cops on the highway and another one sitting in a parking lot with a speed gun...

                          Well, at the point where the road striping changed over to the dashed yellow to allow for passing, the tailgater blew past Mom so fast we thought she was going to clip our fender. But the car behind her? An unmarked police car. Talk about instant karma! The cop's lights were on almost before the woman was back in the proper lane, Mom pulled over to give him plenty of room to pass, and a quarter-mile later we passed the cop walking up to Ms. Tailgater, who looked VERY pissed off.
                          It's little things that make the difference between 'enjoyable', 'tolerable', and 'gimme a spoon, I'm digging an escape tunnel'.
