What gets me is when I'm in the fast lane going 80-85 mph and someone comes out of nowhere and decides its ok to ride my *** and bright me to get me to move over, when there is noone in the other lane blocking them from passing me. I mean I'v got no problem with hopping over but if your going to tailgate me and bright me, FU!!

oh yeah, I just quit smking so I'm extra touchy here lately, I recently had an 18 wheeler cut me off in lake charles and slowed him down to speed limit on purpose from there to lafeyette

that entitles you to be a homicidal maniac for about a month. at least imo. :grin:

Oh I'v been close at times. I'm handling it very well, I'm a fairly laid back guy, It'll be a week tomorrow. I have been just a bit touchy at times:lol:

hate to burst your bubble but speed is relative in the fast lane. if someone is going faster than you gtfo of the way. the right lane is for you. irrespective of the speed limit.

yes, for the guy behind him.

granted, i am gonna the the homicidal maniac if i am behind him going 85-90.

but anyone that is quitting smoking has a right to be a homicidal maniac over anything and everything, imo. give him a few weeks. he'll move back over.:hihi:

Hey, its not the fact that whoever is behind me wants me to get out of the way, I have no problem with that. I'm in the fast lane and some putz comes up out of nowhere, and all of a sudden I have brights in my eyes. As soon as you bright me I WILL slow down.

I make at least a 6 hour drive at least once a week. One that runs through Houston. I imagine how you can see that I could have a short fuse after a while

you need better awareness. you forced him to hit his brakes. next time get the f over and dont force him to get pissed off by resetting his cruise. out of nowhere? this isnt star trek. pay attention.

you're the problem; its time you know it.


and get over. now. :lol::lol:

I usually just chuck the basket in the back of my truck. That way I ain't gotta unload the bastid in the sun.

Oh,

Oh, and since we're in parking lots.

I hate when I'm walking outto the truck, and some jack@$$ stops his car to wait and see what spot you're pulling out of. Then he kinda stays parked in the middle of the road waiting for you to leave, getting all impatient.

That's usually when I get out to check my oil and tire pressure. I also usually keep a few maps in my glove box, so I take one out and act like I'm trying to figure out where I'm going. This is also a good time to check them voicemails I ain't listened to since '98.

Study on this, little grasshoppers. It may save you from a stroke or other damage to your health and well-being. Some of my fellow old farts on the board may remember this one. It's good advice.

[SIZE=+1]Go placidly amid the noise and the haste,
and remember what peace there may be in silence. [/SIZE]​

[SIZE=+1]As far as possible, without surrender,
be on good terms with all persons.
Speak your truth quietly and clearly;
and listen to others,
even to the dull and the ignorant;
they too have their story.
Avoid loud and aggressive persons;
they are vexatious to the spirit. [/SIZE]​

[SIZE=+1]If you compare yourself with others,
you may become vain or bitter,
for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.
Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.
Keep interested in your own career, however humble;
it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time. [/SIZE]​

[SIZE=+1]Exercise caution in your business affairs,
for the world is full of trickery.
But let this not blind you to what virtue there is;
many persons strive for high ideals,
and everywhere life is full of heroism.
Be yourself. Especially do not feign affection.
Neither be cynical about love,
for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment,
it is as perennial as the grass. [/SIZE]​

[SIZE=+1]Take kindly the counsel of the years,
gracefully surrendering the things of youth.
Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune.
But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings.
Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness. [/SIZE]​

[SIZE=+1]Beyond a wholesome discipline,
be gentle with yourself.
You are a child of the universe
no less than the trees and the stars;
you have a right to be here.
And whether or not it is clear to you,
no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should. [/SIZE]​

[SIZE=+1]Therefore be at peace with God,
whatever you conceive Him to be.
And whatever your labors and aspirations,
in the noisy confusion of life,
keep peace in your soul.
[/SIZE]​

[SIZE=+1]With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams,
it is still a beautiful world.
Be cheerful. Strive to be happy.[/SIZE]​
