Manners....RIP

The greatest test of character is how a person drives. If they drive like a dick and cut people off all the time, they are likely an ******* in life. If they drive politely and slow down to let people in and stuff, they are likely a really nice person in other aspects of life. I'm serious, it almost never fails.

what about if they generally drive very politely but swear like a truck driver (or sailor or whoever it is that uses lots of profanity) when other drivers cut them off, or drive too slow, or turn without signaling, or annoy them in some way...

TMI, eh, Mo? Hey! Ya wanna drives a git-away car this weekend, eh!?
 
This might come as a shock to some on this board, but I can be a total dick. Especially when it comes to driving. If I'm sitting in a line of traffic, because I've seen the three signs warning that it narrows from 4-3 lanes and some ******* drives all the way to the merge point, I'm not likely to let them in my lane. You want to merge well ahead of that point, I'm fine with that. But disregarding everyone who moved over pisses me off.

Oh, and I'm the same way when it comes to merging. That **** happened just the other day whilst driving in 110deg heat, through Mesquite. I will pull over and block the other lane sometimes. I love it when truckers completely block the other lane to prevent people from doing it.

I feel the same way about this. There is no way these people miss all the signs. I love it when someone pulls into the other lane to block it. I'll leave their spot open in line in front of me so they can merge back over when needed.

I think manners are dying as well. I was raised to get off my *** and offer my seat to women, old or young. I hold doors open for people. I let others merge. I get after my kids when they talk back to their mother. I think it boils down to people not giving a **** about anybody but themselves.
 
The one that gets me is when you stop to let a pedestrian cross in front of your vehicle and they walk as if they have all the time in the world. They'll even look you right in the eye and slow down a tad. I want to floor it and run their asses over! I know they have the right of way and I don't expect them to run out of the way but come on, put a little spring in your step and move it. Pedestrians in SoCal are the worst.
