So i'm driving to work through the city today and there is a man infront of me in a small station wagon. We're at a light and all of a sudden his body is hanging out his window and he's yelling something to me. I hang my head out my window and say "pardon", he continues to yell something at me and i can't hear a word he's saying. So i'm like "i can't hear you".....he leans out further, his whole torso is out of the car and he tells me that i'm "following way too close, stop tailgating me!!" He's rather polite about the whole thing while yelling the entire time. I find it all rather amusing as i'm shocked and have no idea what he's talking about, so I smirk, stick my head back in the car and roll my window up.
Big Ben's bad driving must be rubbing off on me LOL.
On a lighter note, great weekend ahead NIN concert, Aaron's Cotillian and Pride festivities. Can't wait!!!

OHHH you cant even imagine how mad I am that im missing this weekend....i mean, aside from the concert, I dont care about that...
I cant believe that guy told you you were tailgating...thats hilarious. Usually if people are doing that to me, I slam on my brakes, then they back off....its effective. And then if they hit me, its an accident, but itd make sure it was their fault, who said that a bunny didnt jump in front of my car, and I was trying not to hit it
PP, are you looking for a case of whiplash?
I touch the brakes a few times so that they'll see the brake lights and then I slow down gradually until they go around. I once was on a 4 lane road (2 lanes north, 2 lanes south)in the middle of the night with an especially bad tailgater, I flashed my brakelights a bunch of times, then I just took my foot off the gas. I let the car slow down to a stop and the guy just stayed behind me. The tailgater was so red in the face, shaking his fist, with his bumper about 6 inches from mine stopped in the middle of the road. It was ridiculous we sat there for a while and I thought he'd lose his mind and have a heart attack before it occured to him that his car would run without another car six inches from his bumper and he pulled around me and drove off. The best part was he was so close to me when he decided to change lanes that he had to back up to change lanes.
haha cute sketch! Is your car really pink?
yea tailgaters suck. I usually shake my fist in the rear-view mirror.
PP i agree with Jennifer, bad idea to slam on your brakes.
Jennifer, nice story. I can only imagine him still sitting behind you stopped on the road LOL.
Rawbean, no it's a champagne colour, but i like pink! As for the tailgating i also hate people who do that, and was not doing it to him. He was clearly crazy.
He was so hitting on you. I say this again, you need to become an artist. You have the imagination. So you drive a pink car?
Yrautca, he was not hitting on me.
I'm glad you like my drawing, i never took art in school does it show? LOL. As for the pink car, i already said my car is a champagne color.
Oh sweet lord. I'm afraid I wouldn't have been so nice to him.
Im with Linny, and I NEVER do it on the highway, only on roads where the speed limit is 50 km/hr...or 30mph for our american friends....So we arent going that fast anyway, and we have all driven with me, we know I dont speed...LOL...so theres no worries. We're not going too fast.
I dont know what to have for dinner tonight....
Linny & PP i think i was more shocked that he was suggesting that i was tailgating as i was not. So i just sort of stared in disbelief.
BB, did you enjoy the parade? I took lots of photos and videos :)
It was hot as hell out there, but good times.
Wow, I get total road rage and I for sure would have yelled something back. Way to go keeping your cool and all!
Hmm I love the idea behind this website, very unique.
