Some people just have no perception of how fast a car is moving. You were under the speed limit, so nothing to worry about.

 

I might understand his point of view if he was not actually on a sidewalk. I used to walk on the road daily and trust me, even if a car was coming upon me at 30 mph, it felt much faster if he wasn't over on the other side of the road. So when I approach walkers or bike riders, I slow waaaay down and if possible move over to give them plenty of room. Plus, it makes us look better if we are courteous on the road. And yes, they can adore our vehicles for a longer period of time if we slow down!

 

You're telling him he's #1?

 

Now that's funny!

 

 

IMO most people w/kids look at our cars as weapons designed specifically to maim their children. Puleeeeze.

 

hes just mad he dont have one

 

Yeah i was doin 20 in a 20, (1st gear w/ bullets @ 20mph sounds like i'm haulin *** i guess...) and this guy yells at me "SLOW THE F*** DOWN *** HOLE!!!!"


I stomp on the brakes, back up (the 10ft it took to stop... lol) and yell back at him: "Hey, I was goin 20 ON THE DIME! How about i give you a ride in this thing, that way you know what 20MPH looks like so you don't have call every person with a nicer car than you an *** hole on Christmas Day!"

Then he's like: "WHAT? I'm gonna kick your *** you little punk!!" And starts walkin towards me, and his wife totally PWNs him! She screams from the poarch no less, "Get your *** back here! It's Christmas day! What the hell do you think you're doin!!??" and he totally walks away... lmao... I was real close to following up with "Yeay, thats right, do what your wife tells you!" Or some such line to really tick him off, but i figure he was gonna catch hell from her already, so i kinda felt bad for the guy...

Besides, humans have no accurate way to measure speed... only guesses...

Ignore them - you'll keep your blood pressure down and the chances of LEO involvement are zero.

 

That happened to me once a few years ago. I wasn't speeding either and I wondered why the heck he was doing that. Two blocks down the road there was a cop with a radar gun.

Bottom line though, so what. You were doing the speed limit, he didn't throw anything at you. Smile, wave, keep driving.

The people who suggest you flip him off are the a-holes. There's no need to make yourself out to be the bigger dick. I really don't understand why people feel they have to show how big their ***** is by flipping people off all the time.

As for the ones attributing motives to his actions, you have no idea why he did what he did, so stop speculating.

Finally, it's "Actually" not "Actyally" and "self-righteous" not "self-richeous."

I am not an a-hole for suggesting that the guy should have been flipped off. SCREW the guy if he thinks you are driving too fast. It is not his place to police the world and tell you to slow down.

--Awesome! I would have told him to come kick my *** or do ANYTHING to my car and then we could have a fun day in court at his expense.

What is it with these mindless drones who have a power struggle and think they need to tell the rest of the world what to do?

 

Jim, that must have happened on the first part of SCMR XXII, before Benny and I hooked up with the pack!

 

Just two days ago I was driving through a school zone doing 25mph the posted limit and passed a guy on a Harley who must have been doing 20mph in the fast lane. He yelled at me whilst I drove by him, "Slow down Azzhat!" I looked at him in the rear view and he was checking his speed... I think he then realized I wasn't speeding...

 

Actually, yeah, you are.

Perhaps you'll think differently when you grow up, buy a house, have kids, and people keep zipping down your street.

Grow up. We all have to live in the world.

 

Oh, I am sorry you must be one of those people too? I have all of the above (except kids) and don't need a lecture from you. If the guy WAS "zipping" down the street THEN the idiot would have had a reason to say "SLOW THE F*** DOWN *** HOLE!!!!", but he didn't now did he?

If you have time to analyze the speed of everyone coming down your street and yell at them, then you have WAY too much time on your hands. You would be better off spending your time on the computer contributing some useful information to this forum.

We all have to live in this world, some of us just choose not to be miserable

 

Being a young dumb kid, I generally will stop and light them up just to give them a reason to be pissed off... Flame suit on!

 

HAHA. Been there, done that. Definitely not the most mature response but man is it funny to watch their reaction. memories.....

 

tell em to go call the cops.

They won't do anything. besides the only thing they can do is ask the police department to watch the area for potential speeders.

Something happened to one of my neighbors with a Mustang GT with headers, H/C and a nice exhaust. Another neighbor would always be bitchin about how he was speeding. The cops now end up sitting a lill bit down the road waiting for people to speed. They have yet to catch the mustang speeding.

 

And you can always tell a guy has confidence in his argument when he pulls out the spell checker. If that's the best you got, move along.

I am the first one to say not to speed through neighborhoods, but I do not have much tolerance for people who stand by the road and scream about what they think I may or may not be doing wrong. I was in the drive through in my Avalanche a few weeks ago and a lady leaned out the window and screamed for me to turn my lights off because they were in her mirror and too bright. She was setting a great example for her kids. If the world does not suit you just fine, toss a tantrum about it, because god-forbid she have to flip that little level on her rear view mirror to go to night mode.

We all often have to put up with things we do not like (like riced out imports ) because we all live in the same world. The only way you are going to get life just like you want it is to buy an island and live there all by your lonesome. We all have to tolerate others. Save your screaming about speed limits until you see the guy doing 40 in a 25 and spend the time you save with your kids.

Do I beleive that flipping someone off is the way to go? Not usually. You need to reserve the bird for the important times lest you water down its impact.
