I'm not really on the road that much currently, but somehow, it keeps confirming that way more than 50% of the drivers on the road are below average ...
- Your Honor, Evidence A ...
Couple days ago, at the local post office ... OK, they have a POS parking lot with way too little room. Plus, people tend to park across the back of the driveway, making it harder for people to pull out (still lots of room, just takes an extra turn). Driver (not sure if man or woman) tries to back out. Another car is parked so that the rear end is just about the same height as his/her car. Trying to back out, overcareful. Doesn't even get as close as 6ft or so, pulls back in, pulls back out, same thing. Passenger (after about two minutes) gets out, tries to direct the driver. Still doesn't even get close and it takes him/her another 5 back-and-fore tries to get out ... (still in the wrong direction) - as he's out of the way for now, I just pulled in - directly without even breaking a sweat or correcting (OK, my MR is a bit smaller, but I would have been able to get the Camaro through there ...)
"Please deposit your driver's licence here and walk from now on"
- May I present evidence B
Today, on A4 towards Eisenach ... I'm just cruising along at ~120k and come across an older Modell 5 or 7series beemer ... going maybe 100k or 110 .. I pass it ... shortly after, there's a stretch of unmarked tarmac, sign says 80 ... I slow down to a 100 or so ... I pass another car, then pull to the right, got another car coming up about a quarter mile down. From the back comes Mr. Beemer, going maybe 120 ... I close the distance to the other car, beemer passes me - and pulls up to the other car, all the while slowing down to the ~80-90 the other car is doing, blocking the street ... well, not quite - he's some 1-2k faster than the other one, inching by him ... after about a minute or so, he's passed the car, but doesn't pull over ... meanwhile, another car came from the rear, sitting behind the beemer, and after about a minute of driving on the left lane, waiting for the beemer to pull over, he finally flashes him, and he pulls over ... well, so I take the chance and pass him ...
Anyway a while later down the road, up comes Mr. Beemer again, does a fly-by ... but don't worry, I got to see him again, several times ... guess he couldn't decide whether he wanted to get to his destination or not ...
That thing under your right foot that keeps tearing up the sole of your shoe is called the THROTTLE!
Then, just Friday, some idiot came out a one-way street, oblivious to what he was doing ... I'm also not going to comment on the retard who almost ran into my driver side running the redlight ... (by about 1 minute ...)
Enough ranting for now ...

I've just come to the conclusion that PEOPLE SUCK! That is the bottom line as far as I'm concerned. Until I get to know you, I'll just assume that YOU SUCK!

Yep that pretty much sums it up. I have been burned too many times by trying to see the positives in people.

What really kills me is that i very rarely screw around in town anymore. (burnouts speeding etc.) so most the time I just drive to where i ever have to go and I see all types of people just being ass clowns not paying attention etc. Then the minute I get a little sideways or some "He said POOP" like that they look at me like I just ran over a nun. what is up with when your on the bahn and you come up behind someone in the left lane: first they sit there take their time getting over regaurdless of how fast your closing on them, and then when they do get over they feel they need to speed up.
My all time favorite is: at least 3 times a week this happens to me. I live up A-62 toward Pirmasens everyone knows that its 80k throught there the tunnel. So i almost always do 80 so i'll be in the slow lane just driveing and this little POS will come up in the next going past me. . . . . . no biggie but about 200m outside the tunnel it goes unrestricted. . . . So if they make it around me I'll hope in the fast lane and carry on with my business. But if there still next to me I dont care I'm going, and as soon as I'm like 6inches in front of them they cut into the right lane try to take my bumper of and then proceed to high beam me.
whats the deal with that I still haven't figured it out, if someone can shead some light on this for that would be great.

Just come into work now and there's a Peugeot 106 rallye sitting in traffic, holding everyone else up while the female driver put on her mascara.
Stupid...........
