Title: Almost got beat up the other day...
Post by: Croatch on August 30, 2009, 03:29:21 PM
I cut in front of 2 cars, while merging onto the highway yesterday, due to the front car dragging his ass.  After darting ahead, the guy behind him comes blazing up and tailgates me.  I realize this guy meant business with his mustache and mean gum chewing habit, he must have been 145lbs, full of rage, and driving a 1990 Camero.
For a second, I thought it was my landscaper and I forgot to pay him for last month, but then saw it wasn't.

Gotta love it when someone takes out their shortcomings in life on the roadway, where even a tiny tit, can be Superman for a second.
I couldn't stop laughing..hahahah, grrrrr.  We got it man, you bench 130lbs, but want to take on the Croatch.  I'd lay $100, that if we were in a parking lot both outside of our cars, this fool would have changed his tune quick.  Not that I'm big, but this guy was tiny.  The last time I weighed 140lbs, I was in the 6th grade..haha
Where do these clowns come from.  Somebody cuts me off, I don't even give a shit.  Brutal 140lbs man insecurities.
*Please, if you're going to follow me in your car, take out a gun and shoot, otherwise, it's just a waste of everyones time.

Yah i had one a month ago, waiting at the front of the lights, a fucking courier bike comes up and puts himself in front of me. I go fuck that, pull to the side of him and shoot off at the green. Suprised the fuck out of him, beeped his horn then montioned to pull over. I stuck my hand out the window with my finger up like 'victory'.

But really what is going to happen if i pull over. Beat him up then get in trouble because no way i wouldn't look like the aggressor when it comes down to it.

People treat you like crap with them on. I don't really care if someone pulls out infront of me. I am not in that big a rush that I have to be 15m ahead.

You didn't mention what type of t-shirt the roadrager was wearing, but judging from the fact that you didn't pull over, I'll guess it was TapouT or Affliction. Don't worry...most of us would've done the same in the face of certain death by rear naked choke.

Suburu STi.  Dumbass fin on the back, but quick.

Good to see I'm not the only one running into these tough guys.
Many months back, I posted about the guy who was tailing me, then I pull over, he didn't do a thing, I laughed and drove away.
Must suck to leave the house knowing, when it comes down to it, you're about as strong as a little high school boy...hahahaha :D

I cut off a truck driver getting on the ramp. He proceded to race me in the traffic filled highway and cut right into me without showing a sign. If I would not have stopped he would have hit me for sure. My family was in the car with me.

i have a kid so i drive like a bitch now.

so funny to see these skinny douchebags getting all aggressive because i don't move fast enough. 

ya really want to just ask the kid to step out, then pick him up and smal him into his own hood, kicking him repeatedly.  instead, you can only flip him the bird and know if he climbs in your window, he's leaving this planet.

Personally, I think giving the "finger" is the biggest bitch move you can make.  It reminds me of someone in the 3rd grade.  Pretty much saying, "I'm melting all over the place."
Same with using your horn.

I don't care if you're in the center or right lane, going moderate to slow, but if you're in the left lane...move.  This country is filled with aloof douches feeling entitled to drive in the left going however slow they'd like, with zero regard for anyone, but them...typical American attitude.  On the cell phone, no clue wtf is going on, other updating their Facebook status. ;)

You have to be careful out there, you never know when someone has a gun, 140lbs is irrlevant at that point. Road rage isn't worth your life

ppl get upsets easily, no point in that. 'things' happen, just relax and take it easy.

Driving slow in the right lane it's perfectly fine, we all can't drive fast all the time, maybe we're looking for a song on the cd player etc. But in the left lane, no. i'm usually in the left lane and cars drive slow in the right lane until i come up next to them, they see a bmw and start flooring it, just so i won't get pass them...douchebags. It's not like i'm driving the latest high-end model either :-\ just 90s 3series

But you ask any getbig member who they'd rather be in a foxhole with, when the shit hit the fan...  Would it be an unarmed jingoist like yourself, or a pissed off pro-gun 'lib' with a vest and two rifles, how do you think they'd answer?

Exactly. Same where I live. If you were to beat the shit out of the dumb fuck then you get pinched by the law.

not trying to be a tough guy.  i'm being honest here.   I'm called a lib because I disageed with Bush economic and imperialism policy, as well as the outright lies. 

I'm an (R) on most domestic issues, but on energy and foreign policy, I like more dem positions.  yes, we shuld be independent on energy and not dependent on saudi oil.  That's my opinion.  It didn't match Bush (haliburton) policy, but hey, that's just my opinion.

So call me a ib if you want.  But you won't find a more pro-gun, anti-welfare, anti-illegal 'lib' around :)

i was joking about needing a nosejob on the Fmylife thread.  I poke a lot of fun at obamacare.  My own personal belief is that you either give free health care to everyone, or take it away from everybody.  If a man doesn't work a day in his life, and lives to be 65, he's rewarded with fre hleath care for life. 

Not fair.  A 59-year old who has worked 44 years doesn't get free health care, but the guy a year older - who hasn't worked - gets hooked up.

That is why this thread exists...because people don't pay attention on the road.
I usually drive around 200 miles per day, many of them in an 18-wheeler around the Bay Area.
I could on and on about everything I see daily; people speeding up & slowing down, people that are lagging back but as soon as someone puts their signal on to change lanes in front of them they gun it, and my personal favorite....

...merging. NOBODY seems to know how to merge!

Take 2:
I had another ROADWARRIOR almost get tough on me today.  Best part, this guy was on a jetbike doing 65mph in the right lane.  I'm waiting for the slow fuck in the left lane to move, the guy in the car in front then allows enough room to get in between (doesn't move over to the right of course), so I blaze in between these 2 tip toeing idiots, giving ample room for the bike.  Then, ROADWARRIOR comes blazing up on his bike next to me, I roll down my window to basically laugh at this fool, then he slowed down.
 ::)
No shortage of idiots in California man.  Worst than New York for sure.  But in general, humans are pretty unintelligent.
The DMV will give pretty much anyone a license and the best part, you never need to retest until you're 65.
I often wonder when someone is sitting in the left lane:
a. Are they extremely uneducated on driving rules
b. Are they so aloof, they don't realize what's going on
c. Do they simply not give a shit about anyone, but them
d. Do they realize it's the Croatch from getbig, so they give me a big ol' fuck you and stay there?

The DMV will give pretty much anyone a license and the best part, you never need to retest until you're 65.
I often wonder when someone is sitting in the left lane:
a. Are they extremely uneducated on driving rules
b. Are they so aloof, they don't realize what's going on
c. Do they simply not give a shit about anyone, but them
d. Do they realize it's the Croatch from getbig, so they give me a big ol' fuck you and stay there?

Aren't you like 5'6" with tick addidases and stringy tanks except from feb to mid march?

Interesting thread and just a wee bit topical for me right now as I got into a spot of bother on the way home tonight. Merging into a single lane - full on indicating well in advance - and the 'gentleman' beside me decides, after clearly seeing me indicate that he would speed up, cut me off and then blast me with his horn. I tell you - my arm went out the window and my middle finger was reaching for the heavens when suddenly I stopped and just gave him the open handed wave - as if to say 'whatever'. I think that actually pissed him off even more than a middle finger because it is almost as if you just couldn't care less how angry the dude is. I managed to get in front of him a little later and when we pulled up at lights I simply turned and gave him a big smile. Honestly it felt a bit emasculating basically because I do have a little bit of a road rage problem but I feel all the better fot it now. No violence, I was clearly the bigger man and I'm learning to control myself. Still can't believe I managed to control the middle finger and turn it into a hand wave. That seriously is self control at least for me.

i was driving home the other day when this 80 year old skank flipped me after cutting me up. Needless to say i ran her off the road then finished her off with some brutal ground and pound from the full mount position. Fortunately i always wear my four ounce gloves when driving. You just never know when you are going to have to throw hands  8)

Funny you posted this Croatch, cause I had some douchebag yesterday with road rage. Funny thing is, he didn't want anyone passing him. When I did, he got mad. Then, he was trying to race.  ::) Like I give a shit, I was just laughing at him...what a fucking tool. Funny thing though, guy in the mini van out drive him.....HAHAHAHA!

Sometimes it's best to do little things like that. Flipping them off gives into their anger & feeds it more. If you smile and/or wave, that takes them by surprise (breaks their state of mind).

About a week ago I'm driving back from the gym. There's a long stretch of highway about 2-3miles long, and it's 4 lanes wide with big wide shoulders. Many people speed down there, and the it's the main feeder to the airport so cabs and limo's are especially popular in this area.
This day I'm coming down the hill that feeds into this straightaway, and I see a Lincoln Town Car blazing down the road. He gets pinned in between cars as he's trying feverishly to get around anyone in anyway he can. After watching him cut across all 4 lanes in numerous variations multiple times- I decided to be an asshole. I'm in a BMW 540, he's in the Lincoln. I'm pretty sure I can mess with him damn good. :) So that's what I do. I see every lane change that he's going to make, and I go around the other side to block him in. After doing this for a mile or so, he thinks he's got me around the right side. Nope, I let him blaze up and get pinned between the car in front of him and me on his left, with the shoulder on his right.
By this point he's so pissed at the asshole in the BMW (me!) and really wants to see who is messing with him. He pulls alongside of me, and his face is all pissed looking, and I have the blankest/emotionless face I can try to put on....then I smile at him and wave. I really wish I had his expression on camera!!! He nearly rear ended the car in front of him because he was surprised that I looked at him & made eye contact as well as waving with a smile- he forgot to pay attention to driving!
All in all, I messed with that guy for every inch of highway till I had to merge over and take my exit, and as soon I did so he blazed on never to be seen again...

..but you're not the victim here you are the asshole.

I was once coming home from bouncing at the club 8) speeding on the highway like usual doing almost twice the speed limit(limit is 70km/h) this ass wouldn't let me pass. He would block me off for some reason not sure what the fun was but maybe you do? Anyways I came real close to rear ending the bastard so finially I turn my highbeams on right in his face ;D I got pass him and my exit was right around the corner. At this point he is chasing me so I use my right turn signal to indicate I am getting off but I keep going straight and he fell for it.

Take 2:
I had another ROADWARRIOR almost get tough on me today.  Best part, this guy was on a jetbike doing 65mph in the right lane.  I'm waiting for the slow fuck in the left lane to move, the guy in the car in front then allows enough room to get in between (doesn't move over to the right of course), so I blaze in between these 2 tip toeing idiots, giving ample room for the bike.  Then, ROADWARRIOR comes blazing up on his bike next to me, I roll down my window to basically laugh at this fool, then he slowed down.

Two different situations. For one, the time of day is far different. Late at night after club hopping there's likely to be far less people on the road. My story was at 4pm while there was rush hour traffic.
In yours, how many lanes were there? If there was more than 1-2, you probably could have passed him had you been "driving ahead," which is the reason we have so many situations today; people lack this ability to actually look beyond the situation directly in front of them. This is how I was able to block my driver successfully.
Again, in yours, you were driving what sounds to be a bit reckless. 70km is the limit and you claim to be doing close to 140km? And you are happy about it thinking it's cool? (or why else would you put the 8) sign at the end of the "speeding as usual" sentence?) I did what I did to slow the guy down, yet do it in a safer manner. Sounds like the guy in your case wasn't doing it to the best choice, and he really was a dick.
He should have let you pass, so I can't really answer in full for why he was being a dick.

Dusa,

It's easy to call me a lib because I was against many Bush policies.

But you ask any getbig member who they'd rather be in a foxhole with, when the shit hit the fan...  Would it be an unarmed jingoist like yourself, or a pissed off pro-gun 'lib' with a vest and two rifles, how do you think they'd answer?

:)

When exactly has the shit hit the fan, in your neighborhood, in your lifetime? Have you ever been in or near a foxhole?

I cut in front of 2 cars, while merging onto the highway yesterday, due to the front car dragging his ass.  After darting ahead, the guy behind him comes blazing up and tailgates me.  I realize this #### meant business with his mustache and mean gum chewing habit, he must have been 145lbs, full of rage, and driving a 1990 Camero.
For a second, I thought it was my landscaper and I forgot to pay him for last month, but then saw it wasn't.

Gotta love it when someone takes out their shortcomings in life on the roadway, where even a tiny tit, can be Superman for a second.
I couldn't stop laughing..hahahah, grrrrr.  We got it man, you bench 130lbs, but want to take on the Croatch.  I'd lay $100, that if we were in a parking lot both outside of our cars, this fool would have changed his tune quick.  Not that I'm big, but this #### was tiny.  The last time I weighed 140lbs, I was in the 6th grade..haha
Where do these clowns come from.  Somebody cuts me off, I don't even give a shit.  Brutal 140lbs man insecurities.
*Please, if you're going to follow me in your car, take out a gun and shoot, otherwise, it's just a waste of everyones time.

Insecurities you say huh..gayer than referring to yourself in third person

No I was coming up from behind doing about 120km/h there really is no reason why it should be 70km/h as the road is straight for a good stretch, it only curves near the end where I agree about the limit. The part where he didn't want to let me pass(no matter how many times I switched lanes), there where only 2 lanes going that direction.

I don't like selfrighteous people who act as if they are holier then though. Maybe the guy who you didn't let pass had an emergency? Whenever someone comes fast behind me, I  switch lanes and let them pass. Maybe you lack this ability to actually look beyond the situation directly in front of you.

What farm town are you from? Cab/limo drivers are the worst!!! This guy was in a Lincoln Town Car, with a private limo service number on it...there's one of the top 5 airports in the US within a mile and the Lincoln is headed for it. Considering that I drive that road 3x a day, and every time I'm on it (day or night), there is at least 5 cabs and/or limos on it jockeying for position and driving unsafely.
Usually, if someone is pulling up behind me, I'll pull over and let them pass too. I prefer to get up to one speed (80mph out here is just enough to pass cars at a moderate pass, yet not so fast you are being reckless) and stay in one lane.
I'm not denying being an asshole here...but when you see cabs, limos and their drivers being flat out pious and consistently driving like assholes, you get tired of it.

Do I get Road Rage? Absolutely. If you read the other thread you started on truck driving, maybe you can see why.
Now that you've called me a stereotyping jerk, I can see who has the hurt feelings.

 ;D I can't be bothered now as I am about to cut off some truck driving idiots.

Hey this reminds me of another time on the road, when there was traffic because of construction and everyone had to merge to one lane. So this genius decides to block people off from cutting in at the last possible minute to get ahead of everyone(I didn't know the lane was ending). He is taking up two lanes with his stupid pickup truck and wagon. At this point I get right behind him but don't have enough room to pass on my lane nor the lane beside me where a 50 footer? truck is blocking the side. So this lasts for about about 5 minutes. Finally there is an a opening on the right side and I cut off the big truck and maneuver around the genius and proceed to pass him. At this moment I let out a sight of relief and felt pretty good about myself. :)

Then I cut in a little later to get on the right lane. Note that was probably the best thing I did because I am sure the big truck would not have let me merge for whatever reason when it would be time.

The end.

Have a nice day. :)

manoeuvre around the genius

I picked up on this right away, and debated "Should I point this out to him?" By the time I made my life changing decision, it was too late, you'd already corrected your spelling of "genious" to its correct "Genius." However, you still missed maneuver!!!
Excuse me while I make recycled beer cans out of a Ford F150...
