So on my way home from work, boring highway run as usual and this douche nozzle in a big blue ram cruises into the passing lane and then starts slowing down. Like way down almost 5 below speed limit and starts pacing the slower traffic he was behind. I spot this 1/4 mile back and just strat to cruise down to speed, coasting off the speed. I get with in about 8 feet from him and he starts jabbing the brakes. mind you I was backing off and I had cars coming up on my ass too. In no way was I tail gating or being other wise aggressive, just coasting of my speed. This fucking guy starts jabbing his brakes hard enough I almost locked up my wheels. Mind you we are doing 60 mph and he thinks this shit is ok.

Seriously “brake checking” is not ok. even if some one is riding your ass, which I can not stress enough I was not doing! I’m also not gonna lie and say once he moved I just drove pass. No I was a big child I got over in front of him and just took my foot of the gas till we ended up at about 30... I never do this shit, but I was just pissed. You have no right to risk my life because your tiny penis pisses you off every fucking day of your life. Fuck man I just want to get home. I honestly can’t recall the last time I road raged out but at the end of a 12 hour shift some small dick ass hole in a giant truck is the last thing I want to deal with.. fuck.

I agree not ok.

It is not your lane, you are not entitled to it. If someone is coming up behind you (in the passing lane) and you decide they are doing it quickly, move the hell out of the way. Not your job to slow them down to what you perceive as safe or to enforce your sense of justice.

I commend you for not taking more severe revenge, after a long shift if someone decides it is funny or righteous to brake check on a fully open road, I have *ahem* I mean I have seen someone get in front and truly educate them on what a proper brake check is like say down shifting two gears and pulling up on the parking brake.

I must say not sure what penis size has to do with being dumb though.

Yeah and again I was in the wrong by slowing him down. Slowly, but still it’s just not ok to brake check. I mean if he did this to me last week I would have hit him. Hood to know my $1k brake job works haha. But I’m not gonna risk doing it back to him. Esp when a truck vs car usually the truck loses in stopping distance

And I was just angry and assuming he has a small dick which is why he drives a big truck and acts like and ass hole. Sorry could have probably not gone there, I feel better now though getting it all out.

He must’ve gotten stung by a wasp bit by a spider while avoiding a pelican after airing up his tires with an analog gauge...

It’s all good, sometimes you reach into your insult bucket and that’s what is in there.

Just a life tip, find new insults with more flamboyance or higher level diction, nothing makes your insult more effective then when the person you are insulting has to ask you for the meaning of what you just called them. Also a great stress reliever when you can eloquently convey a demerits phrase employing a cornucopia of scurrility to highlight their ignominy :).

I think you took the most minor of retaliation, not sure if I have the patience to do that if someone knowingly does that kind of shenanigans to me, I still have a bit of growing up to do.

Driving big truck. To and back from office job. In passing lane and enforcing speed limits...Yeah it is pretty safe to say this guy is a small dick compensation award winner.

I’m much better at insults in person. Haha I try not to insult people in general I’m not a mean spirited person. How ever cross that line and I get ugly. I hurt feelings and bad when I rip into people. So I try not to do it unless truly warranted.

I’ve done what you’ve done once before. This guy comes blazing up my right side and I’m in the left lane. He proceeds to jump in front of me and let his foot off the gas and braked a bit but he dropped down like 20 mph.

I was beyond pissed because nobody was in front of me before this asshole got in front of me. Why would he come blazing up the right going faster than me just to get in front of me and slow down.

So I jumped in the right and jumped in front of him and brake checked the shit out of him once but really hard.

Sounds like my coworker who decided to tailgate me through a 20mph school zone this morning. Sorry buddy, all that giant truck means to me is that you can afford to buy me a new car when you run into this one.

I’d been on the fence about this guy (he’s new) but he just got shitlisted.

I was there for less than 20 seconds if that. I was slowing down and speed matched him, I wasn’t there for any length of time and he was deaccelerating which closed the gap faster than me coming up to him. Trust me I wasn’t tail gating in the slightest.

I miss my shitbox Taurus.......when people did dumb shit like that to me on purpose, I’d pull up slightly ahead of them and slowly slide over into their lane.

Yeah, I know....really assholish of me, but if you’re driving a 60k car-you’ll back off even if you’re in the right just to avoid scraped paintwork (which I obviously didn’t give a shit about)

Let me get this straight...you rolled up to within 8 feet of a vehicle that was matching the speed of the traffic ahead of him, at 60 MPH, and think you were in no way tailgating him or riding his ass? Then got offended when he signaled you to back off? Then after you got ahead of him, you pulled over and slowed down to 30? Yet he’s somehow the bad guy here?

Sorry, but I think you need to take a chill pill and a good, long look in the mirror.

No no no.. I was speed matching him. The road was wide open in front of him and he had plenty of room to move over. I would have just gone around him as I normally do but he started the brake checking. Before I could manuver. He did not signal shot. He rapidly jabs his brakes hard for a decrease of over 10 mph instantly.. this was not a signal. Also I was there less then 20 seconds. The gap closure was more his asinine deaccelleration than me speeding up to him. And there is no signaling to back off. If your in the passing lane slowing down and going under the speed limit. In this case 65. Move over and yield to traffic.
