my thread o' hate: hate harder

I use my cruise control every day. Set for 9mph over the posted recommendation.

Did that to a car on the Florida Turnpike, but sent him into the swampy grass of the shoulder, not the median. Even more satisfying than you might think, especially when you can see the driver's eye go from normal to dinner-plate size in the rear view mirror.

Apparently I wasn't the only person this douche bag cut off, since the driver of the dump truck that was behind me drove up a long my right side and gave me the ol' thumbs up.

Yes but you wouldn't be pulling the "I want to drive slow but I do not want you to pass me so I'm going to speed up and then get pissed off when you catch me even though you've had your cruise control on the whole time" bullshit to begin with so you wouldn't warrant such a retaliation.

Drive like a fuckstick, get treated like a fuckstick, I always say.

Depends on how closely you guys are tailgating someone. If you come up on me and sit only 6 inches away, I'd be tempted to slow down, just like the people you're complaining about. Especially if there is no way for me to move over and let him pass.

The basic rule is, if you want want something, ask nicely.

Who said anything about tailgating anyone? I'm talking the ones who either sit in the left lane or they're in the right lane with nobody aroudn them but speed up as you change lanes to pass them... they zoom away only to slow back down so you catch up to them again (and you have to dis-engage the cruise because they're being douche bags). If there's a bunch of cars around, there's a bunch of cars around. That's a different story.

my hate is little boys in hondas showing off for their girlfriend by cutting off the people in the other lane when their lane ends. this is done regularly here. the ones that try to "race" me are funny. I asked one who had his window down if he realized my motor weighed as much as his car. I sure hope he could beat the landyacht I'm driving.

It's even better when they're in like a Saturn ion and they try to race bikes off lights

I learned to wave at people when driving my mini. I would get an amazing number of people to move out of my way. My husband thought it was because no one wanted to be in front of the crazy girl that waved at people.

It works in any vehicle I drive. But, in the truck, I'm pretty sure they don't see me past the big ass grill.

Tailgating doesn't solve problems, it just makes dumb people angry.

It only worked because you're a girl, and the guys were wondering if you knew them (or liked them)
