omg yeah, it’s never the jerk’s fault. do you know how many people insist they were maintaining a ‘safe stopping distance’ even though the fact they hit the guy in front is plain evidence that they were too close? like at least 50% of people.

ugh, and i’ve heard from plenty of people who ‘drive just fine’ until their vehicle mysteriously collides with a large, stationary object, at which point it is definitely the parked car’s fault.

those people also have really strong psychological defence mechanisms which protect them from reality.

Same thing here; it turned out to be one of my professors. When she called, I thought she was agreeing to supervise my MA thesis. Turns out she wouldn’t supervise me & I had to pay to repair her car. Good times.

I didn’t say it was your fault; I said I was blaming you.

If someone is parked horrible in a spot, you don’t know if it was that person’s fault or if they had to park over more because of another person’s crappy parking.

@ Pony girl

I think some people must have brought that notion to Illinois, because I was almost killed recently when some asshole behind me decided that 10 over the limit wasn’t fast enough and decided to pass me. However, there was a car in the incoming lane. Instead of slowing down and getting back behind me so that car could pass, this idiot instead decided to run the other car off the road.

Here in Texas they expect you to pull over onto the shoulder when you’re on country roads, to let them pass.
They expect me (driving 65mph in a 65mph zone) to drive on the shoulder, so they can speed.

Right. As if I’m going to risk a flat tire, so your dumbass can pass me.

I don’t think so. I mean, hey, if I can easily pull over onto a nice roomy clear area, then okay, I”ll slow down and pull over.
But, I’m not going to drive 65 on the shoulder, nor am I going to slam my brakes on to be able to stop in some tiny pull over area on an unknown road at night.
I’ll slow down, so that you can pass me more easily, but if you’re a total dumbass and tail me really closely, you won’t be able to pass. That is your fault.
I actually had a guy tailing me so closely when I was going 70 in a 65mph zone, on a shoulderless country road that I just kept very slowly reducing my speed, so that he could pass me. He kept tailing me. 50, 40, 30, 20, 10 mph, and this ass keeps tailing me, doesn’t take the opportunity to pass. I actually came to a STOP. the idiot sits there behind me. WTF? We sat there for about 15 seconds, and he finally reversed and passed me.
ps – Here in Austin, you best not go just because your light is green. I don’t think I’ve ever had a green light that hasn’t had someone running a red through it.

Not gonna lie, I’m a Californian driver and when people go the actual speed limit or slow/stop for yellow lights I become apoplectic. I won’t honk or otherwise be a dick about it but I will [mentally] curse you with every breath in me. This goes double for people on cell phones or in sports cars.

Thanks, NG. It wasn’t an original but I felt it needed to be said.

Anglo, where were you when I needed that advice? Maybe I was trying to make a statement like, “I’ll scrape my own car before I brake to accommodate your bad park!”

Not a bad idea. Never thought about that before. Partly probably because I am laid back about stuff like that. I don’t drive clunkers but I am also not going to faint if my door gets dinged.
