Board 8 > What's the worst road rage thing you've ever done?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Some woman cut in front of me in order to stay behind a U-Haul, so I got in front of her and drove 35 MPH on the interstate for about 10 miles to divide them. I guess she learned. I don't own any weapons, and that's probably a good thing.

I don't do road rage things because I don't like to underestimate the insanity of some people behind the wheel. If I do something ragey towards them, they very well could attempt to run me off the road or damage my car in some way. That's of course an extreme case, but hey, no need to risk it. Driving safe doesn't hurt me so I'll just keep doing that.

I don't like me when I'm angry, and I get angry in the car an awful lot.

But the worst I've ever gotten was at an intersection. Someone had speakers on their car, and he said something to embarrass me (I've forgotten what it was, I do know he was with a girl, probably a girlfriend). I turned, he turned behind me, I let him pass me, pulled behind him, and wound up chasing him at 50 MPH in a 35. I don't know what I would have done if I'd caught him.

I don't like being angry.

There's an asshole who passes me all the time on the way to work in a no pass zone, doesn't use turn signals, etc. I just smh.

I yell to myself at the top of my lungs once like every four months or so. My windows stay up during these times.
---

Ok. I guess I'm a horrible person. I have at least one incident per day.
---

I mutter under my breath that I'm gonna kill that person and their entire family. Sometimes I even remember their license plate. Generally if people are going too slow in the left lane or cut me off.

I got sick of the (usually) Land Cruiser drivers shining their lights full beam into my car to get me to move even when I was going at, or maybe above, the limit (this seriously happens all the fucking time in Qatar). So I decided to take petty revenge one time. I slowed down to annoy this one guy, speeding up when he tried to undertake me, and pretending like I was going to get out of his way by signalling right, moving slightly, and then going back on myself. When I did eventually move - I had to exit - he veered to the right as if he was going to ram into me, then pulled away at like 150 or something. Dude was mad.

I'm not proud of it because it was risky and dumb but it was pretty funny
---

I wouldn't say that was rage so much though, more a build of irritation. I was laughing, not yelling

Is your definition of too slow in the left lane 15+ over when the rest of the road isn't going more than 5 over?

Because I see people like that all the time here and their 'too slow' is utterly ridiculous.
---

My definition of too slow in the left lane is going slower than the pace of traffic in the regular lanes. I'm not a speed demon like the rest of my family is, but I want to use the left lane to pass slow cars, not get stuck behind them.
---

Driving slower than the speed limit to people tailgating me.
---

Life's too short to get mad at people in the car. If somebody cuts me off I basically say 'what an asshole' and then let in a few more cars that actually signal. I'll get there eventually and I'll have lost maybe 5 minutes of my life in a worst case scenario. Sure beats the stress I see on some people's faces on the road.

I was working holidays as the mall. I pulled out of the parking lot, and at the first light this woman rolled down her windows and started yelling at me. She accused me of cutting her off and said I was a horrible driver and God knows what. Well this was around 11:30 and I had just worked a ten hour Holiday rush and wasn't much for having this shit. I don't even know if she was right, but I certainly didn't try to do anything.

I let her scream, and then after the light let her drive ahead of me. As she stopped at the next light I floored it behind her, slammed on my horn, and just barely swerved past her left and then turned so she couldn't follow me.

It really wasn't very nice, but I can't say I regret it. I was worried I would get fired the next day but nothing ever came of it.

...bitch.

I got so irritated when a guy almost ran me off the road a few days ago. I noticed he had a sticker for a strip club on his car; he probably worked there.

For three days, I have called that club at exactly 7 p.m. and asked them to ride my bicycle.

That'll show 'em.

Eh mostly the occasional middle finger/horn with this occasionally...

Tennessee has some shit garbage drivers. Tailgaters literally everywhere, like 75% of the time no one signals anything they do. On top of that since I work overnights I've noticed that like 50% of the population apparently can't see anything if it's even slightly dim outside so they just keep their brights on constantly.

Egged on a crazy guy in a minivan

I was on my way to work and while at a light turning left, he cut in front of me and oncoming traffic (They actually had to hit their brakes)

The road leads to a highway and once there I sped up and passed him. He really really wanted to get in the left lane that I was in (we were both going like 80 or so at this point) but I made it so that he could not by positioning myself with other cars and slowing down. So he swerved crazily around a few cars in the right lane instead but then I sped up and the process repeated. We reached the end of the highway and he was stuck in traffic going south while I went north.

Oh and it was a 15 year old minivan with all the windows open, a wife in the front seat and 3 kids + a dog in the back and it looked as if everyone was yelling.

Punched my windshield too hard and had to get it replaced. That one felt pretty dumb
