HOW COME you have to be so close to me?

[WileE]

Pardon me if it's been mentioned, but in NYC or NYC drivers who come over to NJ, many have the habit of entering a highway and going over to the LEFT lane to putter along at 35-40 MPH !!! You pull up to these imbeciles in the left lane and sure enough you spot a NY tag on the car.

Here is another one….
People driving at night with no lights on because the instrument cluster in their car lights up automatically. They may have headlights but they are dim since technically they act as daytime running lights. No taillights at all.
I see this have to assume that they are low IQ drivers.

This is along the lines of the guys who don't flush the toilet or urinal in the Men's room. At first you think - what a slob (and that is the case sometimes), but then you remember that people are used to automatic flushes, now, so they don't even notice when they have one that still has a manual flush.

Looks like acceptable distances between friends.

Another favorite of mine - people whose cars use the high beams as the daytime running lights, and they replace the bulbs with LEDs.

Here's the problem.

These systems push a lower voltage to the high beams, for DRL use. Say...8v instead of 12. This allows the bulbs to burn dimmer. Light is still pointed at your eyes (for visibility), but at 50-60% brightness (so they don't blind you).

Now, when people pull those out and install LEDs...they burn full brightness because LEDs don't dim. Anywhere from 6-24vdc, and they're simply "on". And stupid bright.

We don’t need any egghead to tell us about social distancing!

How about being behind someone who takes off from a red light so slow that it takes a quarter mile for them to reach the posted speed limit.

All of this is transferable to Australia, plenty of azzhole drivers here too.
You can't shoot them though, have to throw a boomerang at them instead.
For the tailgaters I like to accelerate while j-u-s-t touching the brakes, enough to get the brake lights on. It's a double whammy, they slow while I speed up, helps me get away. I got it from a Steven Wright joke:
"I hooked up the accelerator pedal in my car to my brake lights. I hit the gas, the people behind me stop, and I'm gone".

How about those who are so clueless when they stop dead in their tracks as soon as they exit a store, blocking people behind them.

I have a thing I call airport rage. When people are so oblivious to anybody else's movements. They will be wandering along and then suddenly stop to look at the departures board for example. Or, they have tunnel vision. They trapse across on a diagonal path focussed on one thing whilst cutting off numerous people in the process. Oh the rage!!

Coming home from work one day, years ago, I spotted a young lady driving along minding her own business. Every time she tried to go around this guy driving slow in the fast lane, he'd step down on it. I watched him laugh at her and I could see she was scared. He did it about four or five times and she was backing off now, really upset. I pulled along side of her and motioned for her let me in. I pulled alongside of him and he just looked at me. His window was down and I lowered mine. I told him that she was my daughter and he was about to incur his last day on earth. He about s**t his pants as he hit the shoulder trying to get away from me. Further down the road she pulled up next to me and thanked me. It wasn't really safe doing what I did, but two months earlier a guy throw a cup of coffee at a young ladies windshield, road rage, she hit the median and rolled. She died and he ran. They caught him and he did time. The day the woman died was 9-11-97. I'll never forget either of them.

Funny.
We talked about that. The car is very clean. It keeps the lid from scraping the hood when he peels out from stoplights.

Since us honest Kiwi's had our guns confiscated, we don't have anything to throw except a used McDonald's wrapper.

Talking about people being too close to yourself.... reminds me of a true incident at Disneyland back in 1987. I was with three friends on our first trip outside NZ, and we were enthusiastic to say the least - taking pics of all sorts.
At one of the rides - Small World, we were kind of getting bunched up due to the crowds....and this one overly large local was getting a bit pissed at the crowd pushing. We were fooling around a bit, and one of us accidentally nudged him.

He turned around and bellowed... "Hey you guys, stand back, you're crowding my Aura!" That sent us into fits of laughter.

Oh, and on the Small World ride....we started rocking the boat a bit too hard.....got the ire of a few other patrons.

A few minutes ago.....
Walking out of a CVS, old guy walks in with a walker (older than me anyway) and instantly starts complaining loudly about the DING DING DING that's going off at the store entrance.
If he takes ONE MORE FREAKING STEP into the store, the bell would quit. What is wrong with people?
