I got flipped off yesterday

So I was driving home from work yesterday and I got off the highway onto a main road and it was bumper to bumper traffic. So this lady was like riding the bumper of the person in front of her and just pretending I wasn't there and I had literally nowhere to go, I needed to merge! So everytime there would be an opening she would make it so I couldn't get in. She was driving a convertable and thought she was all awesome. She had on a dress and it was very obvious she had no bra on. So I rolled down my windown and told her to put a freaking bra on. She flipped me off and suprisingly enough still didn't let me in. The guy behind her did though so I glared at her for awhile. I probably would have flipped me off too, but it was worth it and I would do it again. I may need to take a road rage class though.

  • You are going to get shot one of these days if you keep doing that!

    MH said the same thing :(

  • OMG, that's hilarious.  I never would've had the balls to roll down my window and say that!  Good for you - the guy behind you probably admired you being so bold (even though he probably wouldn't want the convertible chick to put on a bra!)
  • I can't stand when you are trying to merge onto a road from another and people wont let you in.  I'm not trying to cut you off, I'm just trying to merge.  I live in such a ridiculously populated area (we are right outside NYC) and traffic is RIDICULOUS M-F.  There are certain times during the day where I wont drive.  Just because my blood boils sometimes.  I would have been so annoyed too.

    This reminded me of a funny story from last Friday.  I came down to my parent's house for a "vacation" (they don't know what is going on and I just can't deal with telling them right now).  My Father had a very bad cold, so my Mom said let's go to this little Italian place and grab dinner.  So we did.  It is 2 minutes from their house.  My Mom drove.  She had a green light and this young teenage girl made a right hand turn and if I didn't say hit the brake my Mom would have hit her.  The girl didn't even stop.  The car went up onto two wheels.  So I leaned over and honked the horn.  My Mom is the least confrontational person I know.  So this little twit gives my Mom the finger.  So we come to the next light and it is a two lane light and the girl sticks her middle finger out the window and calls my Mom a C***.  Well, the light was red and I got out of the car (pregnant belly and all).  I told the girl I would B*+ch slap her right then and there.  She made a right hand turn on red without looking and she is an idiot (with some adjectives thrown in).  My Mom was dying.  I asked this girl if her parents knew she was such a reckless driver.  And as I'm doing this I'm reading off her license plate and told my Mom to call the cops, we were filing a report (and I did).  I'm sure they went to her house because she was clearly underage.  She had hearts soaped onto her back windshield.  I love Frankie soaped on there too.  And her and her friend were wearing Nicole Richie type big sunglasses but they were ginormous.  Like 10x the size.  They seriously covered her entire face.  No joke.

  • Growing up and driving in Chicago, you get used to such.  My pet peeve are the people that use the off ramp as an express lane and then cut everyone off at the last minute to get back on the expressway.

  • Kristi you are my hero for that story. If anyone ever called my mom a name I would rip them a new one.
  • LOL, I have said the most random and rude things to people while driving.  I don't do it anymore because you never know what people are capable of or who is carrying a gun and will go balistic.
