Pregnancy, Cars, Awkward and Transportation: Unwarranted bitchiness

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

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

Road rage gone feral

Today, while I was driving home, some jackass in an open-top sports car overtook us and flipped me off. Just as I overtook him in turn, my wife rolled down her window, pulled out her tampon, and launched it at the kid. I'm not sure who was more horrified, me or him. FML

Tailgate party

By Anonymous - 23/05/2014 22:06 - Canada - Oakville

Today, while driving home, some idiot kept tailgating me, so I slowed down, hoping he'd overtake me. He didn't, so I pulled to the side of the road. He did the same, in front of me. He kept toying with me until I crashed into another car trying to speed away from him. FML

Road rage

By Anonymous - 07/04/2024 00:00 - United States - Fredericksburg

Today, I had a “Fuck you” shouting match with a guy who'd tailgated me in the slow lane through an active school zone. I flipped him off when he finally passed, which admittedly wasn’t my best move. He ended up beside me, windows down, where we verbally sparred like teenagers in a dick swinging contest. Regrettably. FML

Today, the car in front of me was going slow and I flashed my lights and honked. I floored it and passed the car, flipping off the driver. Just as I went around the next corner I got pulled over by a motorcycle cop. A few seconds later, the guy I flipped off drove by honked and waved. FML

Today, I was tailgated on the highway. There was a car in the lane next to me, and my tailgater was WAY too close to risk slowing down, so I sped up in order to switch lanes, which bumped me over the speed limit. That's when my tailgater turned on the flashing lights. FML

Mean streets

By fouchi - 10/04/2024 07:00 - United States - Los Angeles

Today, I was driving when a couple flipped the bird on me before cutting me off, so I flipped them off back. After they'd got away, another driver thought I'd actually been flipping him off and followed me into a parking lot. This guy was huge, and let’s just say he didn’t give me a chance to explain myself. FML

Today, while driving to my daughter's wedding, the person behind us kept laying on her horn and yelling every time I stopped for a red light. That person was my wife. Sadly I'm too whipped to stand up to her and spent the whole drive pretending not to hear my passengers snickering at me. FML

Today, a cop almost rear-ended my car, slammed on the gas with no warning, swerved around me, flipped me the bird, then cut me off and then drove a full ten miles under the speed limit. When I changed lanes to overtake him, he pulled me over for road rage. FML

Disagreed. How the hell was the OP supposed to know there was a woman giving LABOR in the backseat? Honestly, would you have pulled over, because I sure wouldn't have. 99.9% of the time, the tailgater is just being an asshole and just *can't stand* going the speed limit. This is one of the rare [and I mean RARE] times that they had a legitimate reason for being an ass. The OP was not a terrible person for going slower, just human. If you're going to say that, shouldn't you also say that the driver was a terrible person because he really did jeopardize the woman and her baby by taking his eyes off the rode and twisting around to point in the backseat? Besides, honestly the driver should've passed earlier if he was on his way to the hospital, instead of trying to tailgate the person. It takes literally one second to do so.

You deserve it for being such a bitch. Act so, and you'll be treated accordingly.

What's with all the moderated comments? Why have so many people on FML become whiny little babies lately?

If someone honks at you, they probably have a reason. What if someone was bleeding to death in the passenger seat? I never, EVER honk unless it's a goddamn emergency. Not FYL, but FHL (**** his life). Hopefully his wife didn't have the baby in their car because of you.

Yeah because when someone's in labor, tailgate if someone isn't flooring it. Also be sure to go as slow as them to point it they're in labor. I mean c'mon it's not that hard to dial 911 and get an actual ambulance because it's legal for them to go that fast. I mean what if you had to stop suddenly and he plowed into you? Dead baby, congrats, world's greatest dad. Oh and 232 **** off, people honk for a lot of reasons not all of which are emergencies.

He should have been driving at the speed limit regarless of whether his wife was in labour or not.. because rather her truing up alive than dead.

God I am so sick of dramatic pregnant women. Stop ******* pushing the world around because you're in labor, maybe leave before the baby is halfway out? And yes, I know some women have quick labors, but from what I've seen, that isn't THAT common. Even if it was coming quick, is driving like a maniac going to help? Its just going to get you stopped or cause an accident. Its not the end of the world if she ends up giving birth in the car. No, its not a very comfortable place, but life isn't always completely perfect for your needs. Pregnant women need to realize that; not every human is going to yield for and respect and worship you because you're pregnant. And people saying she should call an ambulance, that's just ridiculous. Don't waste their time that could be used to save a car accident victim or someone having a heart attack. Women today need to grow up and realize that years ago they gave birth at home all the time, without drugs and c sections and epidurals. Yes, some did die that way, but that happens now, even with all this advanced medicine.

Seems like both a YDI and FYL. You didn't know there was a woman in labor in the car. For all you knew, there was an asshole trying to save a few minutes of driving time by being a tailgating idiot. Still, if he was being that crazy about it, I'd get out of the way because nowadays, people can get killed by road rage.

LOL at all the self righteous faggots saying you deserve it like they've never retaliated to aggressive driving before. Further, how the **** would OP know the wife was in labor? here's a few ways fellow driver could have made his rush more noticed. Flashing headlights waving OP is not at fault at all. Far too many impatient drivers who are total ***** about this. **** all of you saying OP deserves anything.

Has anyone else noticed that some of the "self righteous faggots" are saying OP is the aggressive driver. bds0688, I'm glad at least some people out there aren't that stupid. If OP is anything, she's a passive-aggressive driver.
