I'll admit it...I am. For people who know me, but have never ridden in a vehicle with me when I am driving...the first time kind of comes as a shock to them. For those who do know about my road rage personality...they've learned to drive separately.
I'm usually a mild-mannered person, laid-back, not into confrontation much, but I get so damned pissed when I see drivers texting, driving lackadaisically in the left lane, talking it up on their cell phones (in the left lane), etc. Those are just the tip of the iceberg...my list could go on and on.
I'm not claiming to be the world's best driver...but when I get into my truck, I realize I'm behind a moving, powerful, massive machine and I am there to DRIVE IT. If it's not an emergency, everything else can wait. If it is an emergency, I pull over and turn on the hazards to do what I have to do.
So, yep, I am a rager. I've yelled every bad, crude, & vulgar word in the book at people, and have even made up a few new ones along the way.
How about you?
(BTW....I have to pick up my DH at O'Hare this morning...just a warning to those of you who live in Chicagoland, lol.)
yep....me too.....I hate stupid drivers. I am in Chicagoland too...I already drove home from work this morn, so I guess we won't bump into each other, lol....
im a sweet kinda road rager..the quiet type...like...if im already going over the speed limit(kids not in car) and you get on my ass..i WILL slam on breaks...if you hit me...then..thats your fault..i HATE people riding my ass when im driving..
Yes, I can be at times. I get irratated at people that don't use blinkers & turn lanes, they aren't that hard to use people.
I used to be much worse than I am now. I grew up in Charlotte, NC and the traffic there gets worse & worse as the years go on. I've since moved to Asheville, NC...a considerably smaller town & its not as bad as it was. I do still have my moments though! And I totally make up my own combination of vulgar words to say. I don't know why that helps, but it does :) LOL!
oh im a definite road rager my kids and dh tell me all the time stop cursing its not that serious but i do get pissed off. we live in fort hood, tx so u know its a combination of drivers from all over the place on top of the retired vets that live here too. i cant tell u how many times ive been ran over or almost hit by someone who just didnt follow a simple sign.
ex. the yeild sign i tell u its like it doesnt exist to these folks they will keep driving until u are next to each other and expect u to be the one to stop to them. when in fact they are supposed to yeild to you! ive gotten ran off the road by vets in their big trucks when you have the lanes merge into one ramp for the free way..the speed limit is 50 and they dont speed up until they are right there with you. it pisses me off and i just curse to the high heavens..
YES! ... BF hates when i drive ... but even in the passanger seat im horrible! ...
This guy once pulled out w/o stopping right in front of me and i had to either slam on my brakes to keep from hitting him , swerve to get hit from the other car , or keep going and hit him ... well i slammed on my brakes and my son CRIED! i mean CRIED CRIED! he wasnt hurt , just scared ... so i got him to where he needed to go (his dads) and went after the guy , i knew where he was going ... and i got out and started arguin w/ him , told him he needs to effin watch theres kids in effin cars ... lol ... im worse than that , but i dont want to go into how horrible i am

Only when the idiots bring it out of me!
Just yesterday I yelled at someone "If you're gonna drive something big, at least KNOW HOW to drive it." This person had floored their Explorer in reverse while I was turning into a one way drive in my Tahoe. Hadn't I seen it they wouldn't have had an ass-end. They weren't paying attn because I clearly was visible to them. Oh wait, they were idiots!
Big trucks are fun to drive but people have to realize they are harder to stop!
It's not that I'm ignoring you, it's just that I never come back to check for any quotes to my responses. You know how to find me.
when i lived in Virginia (hampton roads area) PEOPLE DO NOT KNOW HOW TO DRIVE DOWN THERE, i yelled alot lol to the point where i had to watch my mouth lol cause dd repeated a few things and i was like oops!!! haha
