Who are these people?

I would like preface this mini-rant with the fact that I did not have too swell of a day.

For some reason, I managed to get flipped off THREE times today: Once on the 241 this morning, once on the 405 this morning, and once on the 133 this evening. The best part is all I was doing was passing someone--or three someones as the case may be.

It's true that 60mph in the passing lane does not cut it for me. And it might not help that I do have a decently loud exhaust when I jump on my accelerator. But to flip me off for passing you--while I am using my turn indicators both times on my way around you and giving you plenty of room? What is that? How about moving your self-centered, oblivious to the outside world, Driving Miss Daisy **** to the right?

Of course, they were all driving pick-up trucks or SUV's.

And how low class does a person have to be flip off another driver? One guy in a 4Runner had his baby in the backseat. That kid is going to be a shining example of the nature versus nurture argument.

OK. I feel better. Thank you. Good night!

There are a lot of @$$holes on the road...especially in SoCal. Best to just ignore them. You should've pulled up beside them, smile, then speed up, pull in front of them, and drive slower than they are. lol.

I hate it when people drive slow in the fast lane and make a big deal when you pass them. @$$holes i tell you.

+1... Some people are just a**holes. Yesterday morning, some dude riding shotgun with his wife/girlfriend flipped me of just because their car and mine got to the intersection at the same time and I let them go first. Now normally a decent human being would wave and nod to say "Thank you!". But no, this a**hole decided to do it with the bird.

Just take it in stride man and don't let it ruin your day.

Some people are just nuts.

A friend of mine in high school and college was one of them.

He drove a pos toyota pickup with stick. He would always get in the fast lane on the freeway and drive 50-60 mph. When people would try to pass him, he would start cursing at them and floor it so that they could not pass.
