Are you that guy?

So I'm driving to work today, right? I'm on the ramp getting on the highway. Now I'm not one of those guys that speeds to the end of the ramp to get ahead of everyone. I get on wherever I can get on and that's the way it is.

So today I'm trying to get on and it's fairly crowded. This is L.A. at 7:40AM. In the lane to my left is a Crotchety Old Dude (COD). There is a little space ahead of COD so I try to move ahead a bit and work into that space. COD is determined not to be the guy I get in front of if it's the last thing he does in life. I'm like dude, it's 7:40AM. You just got up. Is your whole day already so in the shitter than you can't just be nice and let a brotha in? For me, once I've showered 5AM and 5PM are the same. I'm wide awake and cheery as I'm gonna get. But NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Apparently the 0.0000000762 seconds COD is gonna lose by letting me in will cause him to miss an important business deal...or the senior citizen breakfast buffet at Denny's. I dunno.

I'm now about 20 yards from the end of the ramp and 40 yards from the next on ramp where a cop is ticketing people who run the one car at a time light. COD still won't let me in. I break into "I'm your worst nightmare....a nigga with a car" mode, act like I don't see COD and wedge my hooptie up in the spot just in front of COD. Homeboy is PISSSED! He lays on the horn and waves his fist at me like I almost took him out. It was only close at all cuz he was riding my ass like Willie Shoemaker on Secretariat.

I hold up my middle finger, wave it back and forth, twist it around for about 15-20 seconds to make sure COD realizes I'm not just adjusting my mirror. It's a middle finger....and it's for him.

COD gets off at the next exit but not before he pulls alongside and gives me the finger back.

Are you that guy? Are you COD? Cuz I got somethin FA YO ASS!
 
Nah man. I let everyone in. I've never understood how people get so shitty about one car length in stop and go traffic. My favorite is the way people won't even make eye contact with you when they're cutting you off.

lol....I laughed my butt off. That happens to me all the time.

I'm calm as can be in traffic. I don't know what gets into some people.
 
The only time I'll be a prick is when someone goes around someone who is merging with traffic properly near the end of the ramp, then guns it to get three cars further and cuts people off. Those guys get my side panel in their driver door and if they hit me, they hit me.
 
I'm "that guy" to the people who speed up to the end of the lane and cause traffic because they didn't just merge where appropriate....but people who just get in where they see a spot? nah, go right ahead, dollface.
 
I've stopped my car in the middle of the road and started fights with other drivers. It's a respect thing.

I've calmed down though and generally just chill on the roads now. If you cut me off, I'll do my best to cause an accident for you. But if you're cool, I'm cool. I let people in when it's convenient for me too.
 
No, I hate that guy. I'm like you... how much is it going to hurt you to let 1 car in...yayaya I know if I let one car in and he lets one car in blah blah blah. Your stuck in traffic deal with it. HAHA

Since I switched over to riding a motorcycle 90% of the time. I just have a real problem getting into a car during traffic. With my bike I don't have to deal with assholes like that most of the time cuz I just go right around them. And the beautiful thing is that pisses people off even more.

What kills me is when I'm riding on the 405(I'm in LA too) between the carpool and regular lanes and the guy in the car pool is practiclly driving on the painted lines. They have made eye contact with me in their side mirror yet wont move. It makes me just want to knock their side mirror off when I drive past....
 
I saw COD at the grocery store yesterday. COL (lady) was exiting the store with her cart. COD was driving in front of the store looking for a handicapped parking spot and nearly hits COL and her cart.

COL yells "watch where you are driving"

COD yells back "fuck you...get your ass in the crosswalk"

Old people fights are awesome
 
Not one of my finer moments, but something similar happened to me in DC. I was in the Tahoe and some teenage guy in a new BMW wouldn't let me in. He kept easing up everytime I tried to move between him and the vehicle in front of him. Mind you I had to get over as I was now at the end of the onramp. Traffic was really congested. Finally I wedged between him and the other car, and he started laying on the horn, flashing his lights, and giving me the middle finger.

My coworker said "hit the lights." "What are you going to do?" "Just hit the lights."

So I turned on the red and blues to the rear of the vehicle. Suddenly my coworker grabs the MP5 out of the Tahoe and walks back to "talk" to the teenager that wouldn't let me in.

Ugh. The guy started crying. Of course this was witnessed by about 20 people driving by.
 
Totally agree DialTone... I try to always be polite on the road... gotta share it with everyone and I'm often on a motorcycle so I don't want some fool hitting me. Boston drivers are notorious for being rude and closing a hole so you can't change lanes or merge. I drive in LA often and it is bad out there.

lol @ "respect thing". Challenging a stranger to fight over stupid traffic shit warrants respect.
 
Whenever there's a merge situation in traffic, I subscribe to the 'zipper rule': if everybody lets in one person (and only one person), traffic will come together like a zipper and continue to flow at a nice speed.

It's the only way that makes sense, yet some people just don't get it. Pisses me off too.
 
I usually let people in but have cut people off to get in too. I intentionally cut off people I catch in the rear-view mirror being a-holes to others. You know the guy who pulls onto the shoulder to get ahead of others when there's clearly no where to go & no off ramp or exit to be getting over to. Or the pretty boy in the new car who suddenly feels like he's special. How about Trophy Wife Barbie in her convertible who believes the world is her doormat? FTA.

Yup...you're right...gotta block the 'cheaters' out when they try to max out the lane that's ending.

When you reach the end of the ramp you are in the front of the line.

You call it "stupid traffic shit" (and excuse me for a sec, I'm about to get all logical on you guys, which will sound just weird) - do you agree that a car is a deadly weapon? Cause I do. And what that means is that each of us has a responsibility to ourselves and each other to operate these weapons in a respectful manner.

IMO, most people undervalue this basic principle (until it's too late and someone dies). If someone swerves into my lane aggressively or cuts me off, that's indicative of a person who is putting my life in danger. Can't get any more simple than that.

THAT is the 'respect' thing I was referencing. If someone puts my life in danger, I tend to get angry and aggressive.
 
I let people in all the time... Funny I was thinking about this also on my way into work this morning. Some guy in a Lexas would not let anyone in front of him in a merging lane and it was causing a backup cause the other lane was stopped. I let the guy in and everything was cool, but then we get upto speed and Lexus dude was going SOOOO FUCKING SLOW talking on his phone and riding his break. I hate when i'm nice and let people in and they drive like they own a minivan or are asian.

Are you talking about cutting in front of other cars in a single lane onramp or merging onto the hwy?

merging on the highway.
 
i was stopped at the long left hand turn light in my whole town, it take like 10 min to turn green, so the 4 cars go through when it turns green, but the time i get up to the light it turns yellow, and i'm like screw it, i'm not gonna wait another ten min at that light, so as i'm making the left hand turn as it turns red, the guy wanting to go straight lays on his horn calling me a jackass for that 0.6 seconds he didnt get to go.....whats wrong with peole, screw the cod

Yeah I always let people in.. sorry misread that.. I get on an onramp that has 2 lanes till the very end.. One lane is for people going west, the other east.. always a lot of traffic for west so people hall ass up the east lane then cut in front of other cars in the proper lane.

:FRlol: secretariat's jockeys were turcotte and maple. . .and maple only subbed for turcotte when he was serving a suspension. . .but you get some k for the amusing metaphor. :)
 
Dial I hate the LA traffic. I've had words, exchanged middle fingers, even threw a cup of soda at someone once that we ended up pulling over and in a parking lot but the dude didn't want to rumble...just kept on cussing at me and drove off. I let things like that go nowadays, since most people are easy to pull out a strap. Wasn't the smartest thing I did. Dial I had no idea your from LA. I always thought your from south east.
 
You know whatelse I hate. Is when your in a 2 lane and the muthafuckos are in front of you but drive slow as fuck!!! They will stay in front of you for atleast 5 minutes or more.

I moved here from ATL in '98. I'm on the peninsula.
 
I hate drivers who guard their little god-given piece of the right lane with everything they've got. How about a little cooperation?

I'll always let the poor sap on the onramp merge in front of me, if I'm stuck in the right lane and can't move over to give him room. All it takes is a little empathy.

As for Dial_tone's nemesis, I mean jeez, the guy was about to take the next exit anyway, it makes no sense at all for him to not let you in.
 
i never understand that shit. like letting one car in front of you is going to ruin your whole day. i bet you he is also the type a expects u to let them him when he wants to get in
