Jeez Louise!
It seems like drivers are getting worse.
A couple of months ago I got clipped by a woman in the lane next to me. Both lanes were turning right, but I was in the far right lane. Rather than turning into the next lane over she turned into the near (my) lane.
Since then, I have seen loads of aggressive/careless drivers not to mention lots of folks driving under the posted limit in the left lane, seemingly oblivious to the mounting string of cars behind them. Though in one case it looked like they were actually just being a dick and driving slow where it was impossible to pass on the right, but speeding up when that lane opened up and slowing again when there were cars that once again made passing impossible.
A few weeks ago I'm making a right hand turn and will then be making another right in about 10 yards to turn into a parking garage. I have a green light, but I have to wait for a freaking unicyclist crossing through the intersection, in the middle of the street no less, although there are both a bike lane and a sidewalk. No problem, I'm in no hurry so no big deal. He passes, and I turn right but rather than zip around him and cut him off I just hold back. He glances over his shoulder and I guess I startled him because he rocked back off his unicycle and starts to yell at me "just go around," "I'm turning RIGHT THERE, you jackass!"
So just an hour or so ago I'm heading to the grocery store and a woman pulls out in front of me. I come to a stop rather than run into her, and she stops. She then motions for me to go. No, you're now in the middle of the intersection and I'll have to cross over into the other lane to get around you, so go ahead. Finally, she goes, but looking at me and yelling something behind her rolled-up windows. Usually I let things slide, but enough is enough. So there I am at a full stop in the middle of an intersection with my head out the window yelling "YOU PULLED OUT IN FRONT OF ME YOU STUPID FUCKING BITCH!" I should be commended for checking myself and not using the word 'cunt' instead, a word I never use, though in this case it seemed appropriate.
Seriously, in the past I would just let things slide. Don't let it into your head; just laugh it off and go about your business. But, you fuck up and then yell at me like it's my fault? No fucking way am I just going to take that shit without saying something!
OK, rant over. I feel better now.
