My boyfriend says I have road rage. I like to tell the morons on the road that they're the scum of the earth with some choice words. For me, it's things like slowing down at every stop light because they don't know where their turn is, cutting me off then driving slow, people who don't even do the stinking speed limit, cell phone drivers, people who think yield means stop for 5 minutes no matter what, tiny people driving SUVs so that they can barely see over the wheel...gosh so many more.

Anyways, what makes you angry on the road?

    Not much. I had someone tail me before and cut me off with their kid in the car, that pissed me off pretty bad.

    Ummm.. nothing? I don't have road rage but it really does irritate me if people tailgate me when I'm already going 5 MPH over the speed limit.

    Every time I wait for a car to pass so I can turn they decide to go ten miles an hour, defeating the purpose of me waiting. But if I think of turning they speed up. Not road rage but it is irritating.

    This. Definitely, definitely this.

    I don't really get road rage, but tailgating pisses me off. I used to get more annoyed by it though. I'm sloooowly getting less annoyed by it. It's a work in progress. tongue.gif

    Nothing really annoys me. I just don't like being followed closely, but that's only because if I have to stop suddenly, I don't trust them to have lightning quick reflexes like me.

    It depends on what's going on. People who go 10 under the speed limit and get in your way, people cutting me off and then slowing down


    biggest thing that annoys me, but is also the funniest thing to see: A small car (like a geo metro) packed with 4 guys, thinking they are hot shit, then trying to race me. And staring at me the whole time they are next to me. I hate people like that lol

    So I cut them off to piss them off. I'm such a hypocrite tongue.gif whistling.gif

    Haven't really driven enough to know I guess


    My friend who just got his license gets road rage in the worst way possible. He gets angry when signs say he has to go 20 mph or less, or when a stoplight is red. I'm kind of afraid to be in the car with him because he drives so damn fast, but sometimes it's funny. I cant help it Q_Q

    When people tailgate me, I slow down. I also won't let them pass me. Guess I'd be a nightmare to a few of you tongue.gif

    I do it too.
    In fact, sometimes, if they're really pissing me off, I'll slam on my brakes for a fraction of a second, just to make them jump out of their skin.

    Rofl, I'd have slowed down to something ridiculous and got right in your way. Turn on some music and crank the volume!

    I can't stand when signs aren't clear, I'm not good with directions and it drives me nuts when signs are vague and ambiguous.
    Also drives me nuts when people in the car with me are 'helping' give directions and fuck it up.


    This...oh dear god this. The signs in my college town are the worst ever

    When I feel like being an ass, I'll wait till I see someone coming racing up the road (this is saying I'm doing the speed limit) and then get in the lane they are in. Force them to slow down behind me. Then, if there are enough cars, I'll just box that car in and laugh at them.

    I'm a mean driver smile.gif
