  • Stop...Stop...OH DEAR GOD STOP

    I was riding around with my friend the other day, which was unusual, since I'm usually the driver. Now I know why. At stoplights, he gets RIGHTUPONTHEASS of the driver in front of him, to where I'm stomping on the imaginary brake on the passenger side, he doesn't use his turn signals when changing lanes, and at one point he started inching forward to make a left at a stoplight, and I had to scream this thread's title at him.

    Damn.

    My Mom used to ride with a coworker that would run red lights all the time. I was heading up to see her and knew I couldn't get there before work let out so I didn't tell her I was coming early. Which seemed to be okay because the coworker needed to stop at the store to get a couple things. As I'm coming into town their in the intersection and I think cool cause there's Mom. Secretly thinking don't recognize it's me...

    Well she recognized me after I called and told her to tell her coworker that she almost took out her own daughter when she ran that red light.

      Hubby doesn't get right up on their bumper, but he does stop quickly. He delays stopping just long enough for me to hit the "imaginary brake," just because he likes watching me do that (it's like a reflex; I can't help it!).

        The other intern I work with scares me sometimes when she drives. She's pretty timid when she actually stops at stop signs. But the one time when she completely blew through the stop sign making a left turn when someone was already there and about to go through scared the hell out of me.

          I have a friend who sometimes stops so close up on the car in front of her that I can read the tag in the back of the driver's shirt.

            My boyfriend is one of the worst drivers I have ever ridden with. I don't know why I'm stupid enough to keep riding with him....probably to save gas, wow what a dumb reason.

            But anyway, he is the most jerky (and by that I mean he has really jerky movements with his steering) driver, and he never slows down gently or easily, he waits until right before the stop light or the person in front of him and STOMP. I'm surprised his brakes even work.

            I don't even want to describe what it's like riding with him.

            Not to mention, he is one of those people whose driving reflects on his mood. We got into an argument right before we left for the movies one night (he was dawdling and we were going to be late and this was a popular movie, and I didn't want shitty seats) and to prove a "point" to me, he gunned it the entire way and drove like a total idiot.
