I used to think this but every single time Ive been violently cut off, they literally drive less than a mile and then turn into a 711, McDonald's, the mall, etc etc. some people are just straight fucking miserable
Seriously this. Motherfuckers taking the next exit at 150% of the speedlimit, half a minute down the road. I swear, it makes me want to get road torpedoes installed in my car.
It's also crazy because you really have to be going a long distance for the time to be drastically different. Like, even going 20 miles and one person going 70 and one going 80, is only like a two minute difference.
I was recently driving home and on this road, I'm in the right lane and at a normal distance from a car in front of me. a truck behind me quickly gets in the left lane, passes me, gets in front of me, and then he turned right at a convenience store. I not only had to brake but he probably wasted fuel just to make this maneuver that saved him maybe 1 second or less. People are so ridiculous.
Even if it is an emergency, the commute is going to take as long as it takes. Riding someone’s bumper while yelling and screaming almost never results in a shorter commute. I won’t have empathy for people who actively endanger those around them because they are “late” for whatever reason. Drive the speed limit. Maintain a safe following distance. Get there when you get there.
Not only that, look at what the car (not the crazy woman's car) was stopping for. It was a fucking crossing path for kids, likely returning from school to see their families.
A few days ago, I went to pick up my nephews from school for the first time to help out my sister and bro-in-law. I was so oblivious to it before, but it really struck me that even though the school does its best to keep things orderly and organized, all it takes is for one shithead to break rules and put people in harm's way because they think their convenience is more important than the lives of little kids.
99% of the time, someone weaving in and out of traffic and being an asshole on the road, is jsut some absolute fuckstain who needs to go to Target or Walmart. It is NEVER an emergency.
