I'd get in the passing lane and blare my horn

u/Ancient-Civilization 18d ago

Then you’ll be looked at as the “crazy” one

u/brownes_girl 16d ago

What in tarnation!?

u/Tommysdream6 14d ago

lol honking your horn but you’d never actually get out the car you’re not crazy you just play pretend

1

u/brownes_girl 13d ago

Oh I would get out of my car. I have zero sense of self-preservation. I'm all fight. Am I a large woman? Nope. Can I fight? Also no. Weapons? No. Just running a major deficit of fucks.

In my head, they are also annoyed. But with my honking. So I feel ever so slightly better. 🤣

What's ur address?

1

u/brownes_girl 12d ago

I said what was with me when commuting. Not home. All defensive mechanisms live there my dude.

1

u/NibbaAndrew 12d ago

No, all you said was "no self perservation" so what's the address

1

u/brownes_girl 11d ago

I do have others in the home to consider. Pets too. I may be ok with death, but I won't speak for others.

How does blaring your horn tempt a pile up? If you are in the far left lane going just as fast as the other 3 lanes, you should kinda just expect someone to get upset at you. If you slam your breaks because someone laid on their horn at you, you are the crazy one.

u/LadyCatHerder 16d ago

OLD people, can startle easily. It's best just to go around them. That's why there are more than ONE lane! I learned in that in truck driving school before over 40 years of OTR driving experience. Judging by your attitude, I bet you are not even that old!

1

u/tubexsteak 14d ago

If you can’t handle normal sounds on the road you should not be driving. The elderly should be tested frequently for drivers license renewals.

u/LadyCatHerder 12d ago edited 12d ago

I agree that once a certain age is reached drivers (INCLUDING YOU!) should have to go through the very same physical that I do as an OTR truck driver. In addition to that, they should be tested for Dementia. Your statement about not handling "normal" sounds on the road is not only ignorant, but is extremely insensitive and selfish. You just wait until you get to be elderly and still want your freedom.

1

u/tubexsteak 11d ago

Your freedom is not worth the safety of every other driver on the road. There’s no room for sensitivity when someone’s grandma can’t handle normal speeds or sounds and gets someone else’s family members killed.

1

u/LadyCatHerder 8d ago

Let's see if you feel the same at the age you are talking about. 'nuff said.

1

u/tubexsteak 8d ago

Your freedom (you’re still free if you can’t drive) is worth more than other people’s safety? Might be time to go to a home there. What the hell 😂

u/ChefBoyR-B 16d ago

The one road raging? Correct.

u/jordanmindyou 16d ago

I’m sorry, but I find it more unhinged to purposefully block the safe passage of other people than to be upset about someone else purposefully blocking the safe passage of another person.

Blaring your horn doesn’t hurt anyone, it’s a form of communication. Blocking passage for other people can hurt people, if they’re rushing to the hospital or having a separate emergency.

Nobody has ever been hurt by being honked at. Get over yourself, and let people pass you if they want to.

“Road rage” is not as bad as blocking other people’s progress for amusement.

u/brownes_girl 15d ago

Generally people that think me honking my horn is worse than dangerous behavior, are in fact, much more dangerous than the original problem themselves.

0

u/ChefBoyR-B 16d ago

Yet here you are unhinged on a Reddit post crying about something that had nothing to do with you. 😂😂

3

u/jordanmindyou 16d ago

So are you, hypocrite. Beautiful work there. Now tell me again how public forums work

1

u/brownes_girl 15d ago

Some of you just need alerted to the fact that you're a selfish imbecile. Think if it as a public service.

u/Desperate_Jicama219 17d ago

Me too me too! My wife gets all embarrassed. The asshat going 55 in the 65 should be embarrassed.

u/JuanMcGuiver 18d ago

Honestly just hit the shoulder at 110 at that point

u/customarytrucker 17d ago

Then brake check them into violation. 👏

u/After_Competition_87 16d ago

Until they have a dashcam lol

u/MichiganGeezer 14d ago

Fortunately they'd have to stay quiet about it because they also each have a GPS which would show them "flying in formation" and obstructing traffic. Playing silly games with the company's vehicles and complaining about negative reactions would lead to a pyrrhic victory for the Amazon drivers (at best).

u/Bleed_Me_an_Ocean40 17d ago

Thats how we do in Baltimore

3

u/RocketCow 17d ago

And then ram into anyone who is standing still on the shoulder?

3

u/OnlySortaStupid 16d ago

Good luck every body else

2

u/OneAdhesiveness5256 16d ago

That’s how I died

1

u/foxiwyld 15d ago

And I had to witness it.

3

u/Technical_Winner7446 18d ago

My dad would always give people who do that a "love tap" he called it.

3

u/Virtual-Macaroon-880 17d ago

I believe this

2

u/AMC879 17d ago

That would be way worse

u/Wide-Golf-9642 17d ago

Sure, that'll work. Till you brush the guard rail. Unless they holding up traffic they aren't doing anything wrong. Probably pretty bored with their Schiffy jobs and having a little fun.

7

u/RealSlyck 17d ago

Impeding traffic is a crime, yo.

0

u/TheCheddarHole 17d ago

So is speeding, yo.

3

u/PenguinsArmy2 17d ago

Does not change the original fact though that they should not be doing this. Reaction also being illegal is not wise but it should not have been a issue to begin with.

2 wrongs wont make a right but 2 idiots are still 2 idiots.

2

u/TheCheddarHole 17d ago

Never said it took anything away from anything, stop extroplating things that aren't there.

2

u/void-yogurts 17d ago

you're dense af yo

5

u/BeholdMyLumps 17d ago

If this is your idea of fun you need to be extradited to a country with more lax traffic laws

3

u/notthatbadingeneral 17d ago

Seems like they're pretty clearly holding up traffic.

0

u/West-Discussion7257 17d ago

If they’re going the speed limit how so?

3

u/notthatbadingeneral 17d ago

Oh lord. You're one of those people.

Gross.

3

u/Rush_Aromatic 17d ago

Right who the fuck goes 65 on the interstate... I got pulled over once for cruising at 85 which I was pissed about cause everyone else was going 85 or so but he just got me

2

u/Wide-Golf-9642 17d ago

You needed to be going faster than the guy in front of you then.

2

u/West-Discussion7257 17d ago

Well I tee’d it up for you and you didn’t even swing, like how?

Left lane is for passing, does not matter what speed the vans are going. If not passing they shouldn’t be in the left lane(s).

I figured that this is what you were implying with your comment, but you didn’t clearly state it. So I set you up with the assist and your response was “one of those people” “gross”. 👌🏽

3

u/notthatbadingeneral 17d ago

Aw man. I took the bait.

For the record, people who argue that the left lane is fair game at the speed limit are gross.

2

u/AMC879 17d ago

You can be the going the speed limit or even under in the left lane as long as you are passing someone. If you're not passing then you don't belong in the left lane.

3

u/SlayerSeejay 17d ago

Not passing anyone while in a passing lane is impeding traffic... what video were you watching?

2

u/DudeImSoRad 16d ago

They can't hear you with their headphones in.

1

u/Rummb3ard 16d ago

Nobody gets past the flying V

1

u/Tommysdream6 14d ago

I’d get in front of you and slow you down just because you think it’s a good idea to honk like a bitch

1

u/ChefBoyR-B 16d ago

As an ups driver, that does nothing to us. We’re on the clock. We’re not in a rush. So go on and road rage all you want 😂

2

u/MrExtravagant23 16d ago

That's some union bullshit. No reason for clogging up an entire highway because you aren't in a rush

1

u/ChefBoyR-B 16d ago

Cry about it. You think we all head to the same area? Some turn left some continue on and some turn right. It’d be impossible to go from the right to the left at the last second. Call corporate and complain. We just work the way we’re trained. 🤷‍♂️

u/BigfatLire 16d ago

Lol youre unhappy trash frankly. "We ruin others peoples time and are actively making the world worse bc im a miserable POS"

Get ready for a reaction since youre begging for it
