I need to vent, plus somewhat entertaining story...maybe?

Post by Emerica13 »

So I'm on my way home from cvs today, doing around 45 and this stupid lady, couldnt have been more than 30 pulls out RIGHT in front of me so i had to slam the brakes, abs came on and everything. If i had waited another quarter of a second I would have hit her, so naturally I'm fuming and I lean on the horn and the lady looks at me and flips her head up as if to say, F*** off, so i stick my hand out the window, flip her a bird, only to see a cop car in the oncoming lane. As he drives by, I see him staring at me and now im and scared out of my pants. however, i managed to get home safely, as the cvs isnt a mile from my house, and all is well. just thought you might like a story

All too common anymore, people that pull out infront of me really (removed) me off, even cops do it. I do exactly what you did too even when its a cop, i'll honk and flip'm off, but they need to get run over.

I am used to it. Having somebody pull out in front of you in Iowa City is a daily occurrence. I don't even honk my horn at them anymore. It is like pissing up a rope. One of these days when I am tired of the Vibe, and want a new car but don't want the hassle of selling or trading I will probably just accelerate.

see http://www.fcmcclerk.com/Pa/pa...29901 Look at (click on) the docket.Guy honks at a cop and gets a citation for unnecessary use of horn. There seem to be a lot of these chicken sh-t tickets in Columbus, OH while real crime goes unchecked.As I remember the news story this guy might have been gay and who knows if that was part of the deal. There was also a story about a teen who got a ticket for blowing his horn while going through an underpass (for the sound effect). But if your car gets broken into - that's just too damn bad! 90% of our police are o.k., but the other 10% ought to be fired but they have a strong union.
