To the driver of the oversized red pickup at Polaris:
1. You don't get to cut in line. I had waited for 3 whole lights in the left turn lane, and you come up in the right turn lane and try to cut me off. Nope, I don't think so.
2. If you're turning left, you need to be in the left turn lane. I don't care if the line is 50 cars long. I had to wait, so do you.
3. When you try to cut somebody off and it is clear that they aren't going to let you, you do NOT get to try to "force" your way in anyway. This is known as "vehicular assault", and is illegal.
4. Just because your turn signal is on, does not mean I am obligated to let you in. You especially don't get to be rude and aggressive about it, when you are the one who is trying to cut in. You're expecting other drivers to be "courteous" enough to let you in when you are a rude arrogant bastard? Nope, I don't think so.
5. Just because your vehicle is bigger than mine, does not mean you get to try to force me off the road. I am not intimidated by your oversized vehicle that is clearly compensating for some other shortcoming. Go ahead, hit me. I'll let your insurance company make me rich while you rot in jail.
6. Just because somebody doesn't let you cut them off, does not mean you get to cuss them out after the fact. YOU were in the wrong for trying to cut me off, so F YOU. Sorry I wasn't the pushover you expected me to be.
7. After the fact, at a red light, you yelled something out your window about "we're here at the same time, was it worth it?" I don't care, it's not a race. That's not the point, the point wasn't for me to "beat" you to the next light. The point was, I was in the correct lane, you were not. You tried to forcefully cut me off, and I didn't let you. YOU are the A hole, not me. It's not an issue of timeliness, it's an issue of principle. You tried to cut in line, I didn't let you. You lose. You were in the wrong, get over it.
8. You're lucky I didn't follow you. I had half a mind to do so. Fortunately for you, my wife wouldn't let me. Next time you might not be so lucky, my wife might not be with me.
9. Think twice before trying to cut somebody off. Next time you should pick a less aggressive target, like a little old lady driving a Buick. Sometimes I am courteous, to other courteous drivers. You were rude, I was not obligated to be courteous to you. Besides, I had already fulfilled my 'niceness' quota for the day with other less rude drivers. By the time your arrogant arse came around, I had already run out of patience and courtesy, and your rudeness made me question why I had even bothered to be courteous to anyone else in the first place. If I thought for one second that the drivers I was "letting in" were anything like you, I would never let anybody cut in front of me again.
10. You're a rude jackass and a bad driver. I hope you flip that oversized junker and roll it over 17 times, rendering you unable to ever drive again. It would be fitting.
Don't F with me. Just because I drive a smaller car, does not mean I'm a passive driver or that I'm intimidated by people like you. I'm very aggressive and potentially violent, especially when somebody thinks they can bully me. I'm usually armed, and I'm not afraid to follow people to their destinations if need be. You got lucky this time. Don't push it.
arggghhh people can't drive
