Stop Signs

Dear 30-ish Guy in the Subaru Outback Wagon,

There was no stop sign for traffic going in my direction. I think that means that I didn't have to stop at all, even turning left. You, on the other hand, had a stop sign. I think that means you had to stop and yield to legally-proceeding traffic.

It wasn't very cool when you pulled up next to me and started screaming at me. I couldn't understand what you were saying ... you need to enunciate, like I did, after you acted like such a lunatic. Now, just so you know, you are going to feel like a real asshole when you go back and check out the intersection, just like I said you were.

And then when we got into traffic and you started screaming at me again from three lanes over, I couldn't understand a word you were screaming. I wonder if any of the other drivers understood you. Perhaps, some of them thought you were screaming at them.

Hope your day got better.

Bill

Damn you have a lot of trouble with other drivers and shit.

is this a repeat? Because if not, you've dealt with this guy before. Or a guy like him doing the same kind of thing.

Get out of that city, man. Come to Wisconsin where we don't even honk at the lights when people don't notice that they've changed. :) It's better here.

Perhaps you had egg on your tie and he was trying to tell you about it.

There are a lot of idiots out there. Unfortunately some have a drivers license.

anyone who's so busy yelling at someone else two lanes away is not paying attention to what's thirty feet in front of his car. These are the kind of people who miss details like rights-of-way and stopsigns that aren't 4-way.

Maybe he's just pissed off he's driving a wagon.
