I hate driving. Old man drives over pedestrian bridge and down two flights of stairs gets stuck and reverses back up one flight and then calls it quits after getting stuck again.

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

Then someone on my way home is going 70 in the 75mph zone up a hill clearly marked with "slow traffic keep right" they refuse to do this so me and other cars pile up behind it and I get brake checked and then the passenger is taking pictures of me with an ipad!?! What the heck. this is after about two cars are forced to pass this mutant in the right lane. I should also mention our state has laws against hogging up the left lane. I finally get around this slime and again more pictures with the ipad. I dont get it what will taking pictures of my car and or license plate do? Also don't people like this know they are responsible for thier actions or do they think its everyone elses fault.

I need to chill out maybe buy a road couch and listen to kenny g cuz this bull crap is really getting to me. From now on I am gonna do my best to never be in the left lane or at least whenever someone pull behind me I will move over asap no matter how fast they going cuz its annoying and dnagerous.

I can't think of any other solution.

Is it funny that I actually heard all of that in Frank Grimes voice?

I almost had some old lady side swipe me on the way home. Two cars don't fit down the middle of the road when there's cars parked on both sides of the road.

I also almost got side swiped on the way to school by a camry and then starting off the above expedition i almost got side swiped by a tesla. I dont get why people dont check thier mirrors its not like my car is hard to miss it has a bright polished hood.

The thing is that I was headed at her and she just pulled out so I made my self go as far as I could without swiping every car parked on my side.

I give the old guy points for at least trying to reverse out of it ....

The old guy was just driving like I play Grand Theft Auto.

My mom, an old lady, was sideswiped by a guy in the 350Z. She bought her beloved (don't ask me why) '98 Malibu back from the insurance company that totaled it. She's never had a moving violation, much less an accident, in her life. She's 81. A bad driver is a bad driver.

I was just making an observation not a generalization.

That was clear. Mom liked a Chinese restaurant in the development where she now lives - Leisure World. I had a brand new Mercedes. When I took her to the restaurant, I always had to explain why I parked as far from it as possible - I didn't want those lovely old folks swinging the doors of their Regals and Monte Carlos into my car.

Car a little older, sitting down with manager doing some banking, and I see a young woman bash the 300D with the door of her Miata. I go out and point out that her door fits right in the paint chip. Indignant, she drove off. Should have pursued it, but life is short.

And people are assholes.

And someone dented the top of the wheelwell on that car - thankfully it was a tank. I could spend an hour listing the minor damage done to the cars I've owned.

Unusual that my anger issues have gotten worse as I've gotten older. If that happened today ... who knows? On the other hand, avoiding conflict has become a hallmark. I should get out more.

A few weeks ago someone hit my wing mirror with hers. She then asked me why I hadn't moved over and given her more space. I asked her why she'd pulled out over the white line when there was a car coming the other way, instead of just stopping. She had trouble with the idea.

you shouldn't get our more if people are gonna be massive clods and bang up your car and not even flinch about it.

10/30/2014 at 21:48

I should get out more because I don't have a car anymore.

oh geez bummer.

It's OK - in Manhattan a decent car would cost me more than a grand a month. Instead I have my pal Hertz.

being without a car would definitley suck but you got a big city to wander around i live in utah and being without a car is impossible and would be very boring trying to go anywhere or do anything assuming there were things to do here.

Here you can live without a car, quite easily in fact. I know grown men who were born here who don't have a license. No need. I rent maybe 5 cars a year. There is the occasional need to escape.

Oh no > Frank Grimes

Many old people are just drug company zombies.

The thing about the Ipad fools is the way they drive you'd think they'd be used to the same response and get tired of trying to record everybody.

Frank Grimes > Oh no
10/31/2014 at 18:09

yeah and if it were me I would think. why are all these people stacked up behind me maybe I should move over. I think people with low self esteem need this conflict and control to make themselves feel better so they keep doing it all the time being ignorant to the laws and their own culpability. I dont know what they were even trying to get a picture of me? good luck cuz windshield glare and sunglasses glare crappy ipad photo what then? put it on a blog dedicated to all the people they have pissed off by driving like idiots?
