Cars, Awkward and Transportation: Awks

Awks

By Hellasboy - 01/08/2015 16:56 - Australia - Brisbane

Today, while driving to work, I stopped to let an old man cross the street. The driver behind me honked their horn, so I drove slow to piss them off. A few turns later, I pulled into the car park and noticed the other driver following me. She works in the office next to mine. We met the other day. FML

Today, I was stuck behind an elderly man on a one-way street into my university campus. There was no traffic in front of him and we were both going under the speed limit, so I honked my horn at him to speed up. He ended up double-parking in the last two spots. FML

Today, I was on my way to work behind a very slow car. At a red light, the lady came over and punched me in the face for following her too closely. We are coworkers and our desks are next to each other. FML

Force of habit

Today, while crossing the street, I was honked at by a stopped car. I responded with a finger and a "Fuck you!" It was my boss who just wanted to say hi. FML

Today, I was driving to work when I was almost hit by a teenage driver. I gave her the finger and shouted "F*** you!" making sure that she heard me. I then saw my boss glaring at me from the passenger seat. FML

Today, I was driving and someone was following me across the city and wouldn't let up, so I drove past my house, thinking it was a stalker. Eventually I lost them on the highway. It wasn't until I'd gotten back home that I remembered that my 'stalker' was a coworker I'd invited over for lunch. FML

Today, I was walking down the street and while stopped at a light, this old man waved at me. Thinking nothing of it, I walked through a parking lot to get to where I was going, where he not only followed me, but mistook me for a prostitute. It was 5pm. FML

Today, I was driving home from work and noticed the car behind me was tailgating me pretty badly. I was starting to get angry with the driver, and kept glancing in my rear view mirror at him. While I was doing so, the traffic ahead of me stopped, and I rear-ended the car in front of me. FML

Today, I was sitting in a parked car. A woman was having difficulties maneuvering out. She honked the horn repeatedly for me to move, then looked me in the eye and called me a "f**king bitch", before driving off. I was in the passenger seat. FML

Coming through!

Today, I was driving around a parking lot, looking for an empty spot. Someone was backing out a bit too quickly as I was about to pass by, so I honked to announce myself. The driver instead panicked and reversed into my front bumper. FML

Unwarranted bitchiness

By lois2lane - 23/12/2009 07:15 - United States

Today, a car was tailgating and honking at me while trying to pass me, so I decided to be a bitch back and go extremely slow. We got to a two lane road and the car passed me up. The man in the front seat flipped me off while pointing to his wife in the back seat who was clearly in labor. FML

I also drive slow like that when people are aggressive drivers.

I HATE overly aggressive drivers. I hate aggressive drivers in general actually. Why is everyone constantly in a rush? I don't get it, no one knows how to take their times these days. I never speed, ever. I'm ALWAYS within 5 MPH of the speed limit, and I hate going faster than the actual speed limit. If the limit is 60 I'm going 55-65, but most of the time I'm at 60 exactly. There's just no need to speed. I'd rather get there 5 minutes later and safely rather than speed and get there sooner.

There should be a button for "I agree, your life sucks, but you're not exactly helping." I get that aggressive drivers are annoying but you being annoying back isn't going to make the situation any better.

I've often done that. Passive aggression FTW!

Were they honking at you because they recognized you want wanted to say hi? Were you driving slower than the speed limit? If so then YDI for creating a hazard. If you were driving the speed limit and they were being an aggressive ass then fyl. We need more information here.

I'd bet good money she was more embarrassed than you once she got out of the car :D

That's her problem not yours. She was being an arsehole driver. She should be embarrassed.

"to piss them off" is never a good reason to do something. Maybe she honked because you stopped suddenly and she didn't see the old man. Even if that isn't the case, revenge is never the answer, especially for something as petty as just honking a horn. And have some consideration for the people who might be driving behind her.
