Aggressive drivers don't bother me. If I'm in the left lane behind someone going slow and someone is tailgating me, I get in the right lane and let them deal with the slow driver.

Punks who curse at me because they're idiots and in the wrong on the other hand... Just like people who illegally park in handicap zones, not only will I give them a piece of my mind, I'm willing to leave a piece of their mind on the asphalt (think my adrenaline is still pumping a bit?). Had my wife or even my dog been in the car at the time, all the circumstances change, but when it is man to man I'm going full Tom Petty even though I hate confrontation.

Most times people are quick to apologize, the others I leave them with something to think about. Hopefully.

I say the most absurd things when I'm fuming. Today I channeled my inner Brodie (somewhat) and words came out of my mouth that may have never been said before.

I'm at an intersection during my lunch break, near campus where there is "NO RIGHT TURN ON RED" sign. There is a left turn lane, and a straight/right lane. First of all, I was going straight, second of all the light was red.

Some chubby loss of a life in a black Tundra with his window down and wanted to turn right(I'm assuming he wanted to turn right, no signal) shouted "GO!". Then he blared his horn and shouted again in a conniption.

I lower my window, look back and shout "Can you not FUCKING see the light is RED!?!". To which he responded, "Do you not know how to fucking drive!?!". This all happened within fifteen, maybe twenty seconds but I had had enough.

Recklessly I get out of my car, point at the NO RIGHT TURN ON RED, and ask "Can you not fucking read?". The response was "Fuck you".

That's when I got upset. "Get out of the car you fat fuck. You think because I'm wearing an argyle sweater I won't start some shit?".

He lead footed around me, his face as red as an apple. A fat apple.

I really need to start letting these little things slide. At the same time, it was pretty hilarious.
Good on you, Luke. I can't stand ignorant dumbfucks like that.

Tumblr is absolutely plastered with people celebrating Guy Fawkes day. Most of whom I know to call themselves liberal, most of whom are athiests.

Fuck you, V for Vendetta. You made idiots do idiotic things.

i've done about the same thing myself, and felt like an ass afterwards. had my turn signal on waiting for a car to pull out in a supermarket parking lot. car pulls out and another whips around the corner into the parking spot real quick. i was already in a bad mood. i got out and told the guy i was waiting for that spot. he says he didn't know. i told him "you can't see my fucking car with my signal on motherfucker?" his fat old lady said "is it really that serious?" i said " shut the fuck up fat bitch". he says " don't talk to my wife like that", while he's walking toward the store. i throw out my hands like i'm billy badass but he turns and leaves. i could've beat his brakes off, but glad nothing took place as my kids were around. i'd just had enough of dumb fuckers that day i guess.

Agreed. The V for Vendetta/Guy Fawkes thing is played...

The movie was pretty good, but - seriously - the whole thing is getting old...

:) Family comin' down from Call-a-ray-do (Colorado) on Wednesday.

:( Hate to say it, but a lots get into that. First and foremost, I have the problem of them forgetting I'm in school. On that side of the family, I'm the only person in the family left in school. Of course there's always the "You've gotten so big, how's school, do you have a girlfriend yet, why not, but you're good looking" blahdy blahdy blah. I wouldn't mind if it wasn't for the fact it is a certain cousin coming down, and he thinks he can get me any girl that walks by. :roll: And of course, seeing as it is Wurstfest in New Braunfels this week, I'll have to hold the new baby while they get drunked up, and then drive home. Woo, sausage and beer...

An oldie but a goodie.

Precious, and the inflections are spot on.
