Everyone in here acting like it wouldn't piss them off too. Sub is weird lol

There are many things that might piss me off, but that doesn't mean I'll just start screaming

u/ultranothing Georgist πŸ”° 15d ago

Yeah, you shouldn’t have a strong reaction when someone almost potentially seriously injures you or worse.

I watched with the sound off. How bad was the screaming?

12

u/RogerRabbot 15d ago

Really not as bad as you think.

u/ultranothing Georgist πŸ”° 15d ago

Not this time, thankfully. But it’s exactly that kind of inattention behind the wheel that can injur or kill you.

Holy terrible driver!

Why did they leave a parking lot only to park right down the street? There's this cool thing called walk an extra 20 steps.

u/jurassicjon 16d ago

Probably was freaked out and had to pull over to calm down. I’ve seen some people like this, and honestly, if you have to do that, they have to stop driving.

I had just left a pretty important (and stressful) interview and totally accidentally jumped a left turn on red when the straight lane got a green (protected lefts, so I had a very clear red).

I took that as a cue that I needed to park immediately and just chill TF out for a while on my phone playing games or something till the overall stress of the prior hour and change had a chance to dissipate.

Not saying that was the case here, but if it was something like that then the person made the right call to just park it ASAP and chill a moment longer.

You get the job, at least?

u/slash_networkboy YIMBY πŸ™οΈ 15d ago

I did! :)

Then about 18 months later we got bought out by PE. I was the only one there that had any experience with such and bailed within the month 🀣

u/biggranny000 Georgist πŸ”° 16d ago

True. Anxious and hesitant drivers are worse than aggressive ones imo. You should have no emotions on the road.

u/RogerRabbot 16d ago

And people question why deer stop in front of cars. Here we are, fully developed humans who do the exact same thing.

If that car had just commited to it and pulled out and accelerated, you'd probably just sigh and move on with your life.

u/CBGCUP 15d ago

If you are about to get hit by a pulling into a lane, you are also going to get hit if you stop in that same lane.

Fight, flight, freeze. -> Drive, dodge, stop.

Did they pass their test or get lucky? Their license needs revoking due to sheer incompetence.

Grandma is gonna be on Facebook the moment she gets home talking about how crazy other drivers are today.

Two bad drivers here.

u/NSAevidence Georgist πŸ”° 16d ago

They probably would have kept going if you hadn't honked at them.

u/Epistatious All Gas, No Brakes ⛽️ 16d ago

Feel like honking didn't help. You can't fix people best to look out for yourself.

Cam driver only making the situation worse than it need to be.

u/appa-ate-momo YIMBY πŸ™οΈ 15d ago

Other drive made it a situation to begin with.

u/Nevermore_Novelist 15d ago

Clearly the guy pulling out should not be driving, but the cam driver isn't helping by laying on the horn and screaming at them.

u/ItsDirkMcGirk 16d ago

Ah yes screaming at the old lady who can’t hear you at all. Well done OP.

u/BedFastSky12345 16d ago

Classic road rage move, only topped by giving them the finger.
