Asshat Pheramones

[deoridhe]

Someone doused my car with asshat pheramones; Marzipan needs a bath!!!

Yesterday, Asshat #1 (on cellphone) tailgated me for well nigh a mile, then, upon both of us turning right onto the same road, hung out in the left hand lane while swerving into the turn lane every time one presented itself. When I turned off that road, he was still at it. Asshat #2 (also on cell phone) showed up very quickly after this in the guise of someone who apparently was making a right out of the lane going out of my housing complex in front of me. He then, in a show of absolute brilliance, stopped in the middle of the road in front of me, leading me to almost rear-end him. Upon my honking, he shifted forward a little. When it became clear that yes, I did need to go to the place he was blockign the way too, he finally pulled down a bit and into a parking spot. After parking, I watched him swerve his way out of the parking spot and wend his way onward to ...somewhere.

I thought it was a fluke - two asshats, one day, in a ten to fifteen minute commute?

But then, today, asshat #3 (cell phone status unknwon) dived into the turn lane in front of me, then made a left hand turn from the right hand lane right in front of me and almost hit the person making that same left from the actual legitimate turn lane!!!!

*shakes head* We get a lot of them out here, too. A few years back my friend Tammy got hit by a car. She was crossing the street, in the crosswalk, with the walk light on (this is important to note). There was a guy waiting to turn left onto the street she was crossing, so she was trying to hurry. But Dixie (yes, that's her actual name--some 60-year-old buttmunch), who was behind the left-turner, decided she didn't want to wait. She pulls out around the guy and speeds up to make the left turn, hitting Tammy going about 35 miles an hour. Tammy bounced and landed, and Dixie looked straight at her, then drove away. That's right. She drove away.

While some pedestrians helped Tammy, another guy who was making a right turn onto the street Tammy had been crossing essentially went, "Oh hell no," and took off after Dixie. He drove right behind her, honking, waving, flashing his lights, the whole deal. Finally he pulls in front of her and stops, forcing the insane woman to stop as well, and he chews her out and sends her back to where the police were now waiting.

Sadly, because she did actually go back, Dixie managed to pull some story about how she was looking for a place to turn around, *coughBScough* so she didn't get indicted with a hit and run. By a serious miracle, Tammy only sustained a few bruises, a slightly sprained ankle, and a dislocated knee.

GAh! Sorry to hear it hon! I hope tomorrow's commute proves to be completely asshat free!

Eugh; sorry to hear it. [hands you the garden hose] The only real asshat driver issues I've had lately have been with people who don't know how to handle roundabouts. In fairness, this is most people.
