People in the "Fast" lane in St. Mary's

In My Opinion
.
If I have to stand in line at McDonald's at lunch time, I'm in a hurry, and yet another person in front of me is looking at the menu like it's the first time they've ever seen it, I knew that was gonna happen, right? So, if I start yelling at them, flipping them the bird and crowding them, who has a problem? Who is behaving poorly?
you are behaving poorly also.
you should have cussed out the cashier and demanded that they put someone else on a register since they have 5 registers with only one open during lunch.

and, the doofus reading the menu should have done it from the back of the line, or called it up on the internet before coming in.


or, you could use a method that judging previous posts, ironintestines would approve of. You could let fly with an SSBD and wait for everyone to pass out, jump over the counter and get your own food then leave, remembering to leave the door open to air out the building and restore needed oxygen to those left on the floor

The logic game works in some ways......I think the point raised in the last 12 hours with the most validity was when you said no one else is responsible for your reaction than you. It is one of the most common misconceptions about communication that other people are the reason for the way we act.

That being said it doesn't change the fact that there are people out there who annoy the living crap out of us...being annoyed by others inability to function at the same level as us is normal....what is abnormal is when people feel the need to bully and intimidate.

I don't think the majority of people in here fall into that catagorey, I think they come into the forum and use it for what it should be. A stress relieving tool, coming in here and complaining is a healthy substitute from quirking out and going "Falling Down" on someone....

And at the same time, the vigalante, "public police" only further to instigate the problem. They point the finger tell others how they are messed up, but take no responsibility for the problem. This is just as unhealthy and only furthers the :elaine:

"I drive really slow in the ultra fast lane
While people behind me are going insane"

"I use public toilets and I piss on the seat
I walk around in the summer time saying how about this heat?"

"Sometimes I park in handicapped spaces
While handicapped people make handicapped faces":larry:

Speeding is against the law. Why should I move out of your way to facilitate you breaking the law?
So is littering, but people throw lit cigs out the window everyday and I've seen cops do it.. I've also seen cops pull over a car with a light out and the next time u see them - their car has a light out.. I've also been behind a school bus with a line of cars behind me, and we all stopped to let the bus let off children and the cop - back in the line of traffic - came flying up the side of the road to pass all of us and could've hit the children getting off the bus but instead jams on his brakes and ends up beside me on the side of the road.. If we're the ones who drive 5 miles over the speed limit and are the ones getting tickets - why do the "non-speeders" care? Why hold every one else up just because you don't care - your doing the speed limit? I pay my car insurance, if I get a ticket I deal with it and I pay my insurance if it goes up..

Again with this silliness!

People do not drive the way they do solely to piss you off. You only think it's all about you - it's not really. Maybe it's some teenager or some granny and they're nervous in traffic. It could be anything.

If you want the road all to yourself and don't want to accommodate any other drivers, then buy your own. The extra 2 minutes slow drivers tack onto your commute is not going to hurt you in any way, shape or form.

And if they can get over, you can certainly get around them. So why not do that instead of popping a blood vessel?

I let people who want to drive faster go by. Then I get behind them and speed up, but leave some distance between us. I'll let them hit any speed traps that might be out there. I consider them decoys. :yay:

That's called running the front door :lol:
If you've got somebody both in front and behind you doing that, you're in the rocking chair.

I'm not saying its all about me - get outta my way - its my road.. thats bs.. I'm simply saying - I don't mind doing the speed limit - do I speed sometimes - yes of course, everyone does.. but the people who play games - and do it just to piss others off - their aholes.. all thats doing is egging people on to get mad and flick u off.. and could cause an accident - just to prove a point - I'm doing the speed limit - your a bad person because your speeding - nah nah.. and believe me, I've been stuck behind aholes that have 30 cars behind em, can't get over and wanna do 35 in a 55 mile zone - and it adds on another 35 minutes to my commute.. its not just about 2 minutes..

And what I am asking is how do you know this is their motive? Do you chase them down and ask them if they were just driving slow to piss you off?

Because if they weren't trying to pizz me off, they'd be in front of someone else. :razz:

I know a guy that pee'd in his wiper bottle years ago. He used to spray the tailgaters with pee.
