Definetely the case I was in. I was driving a chip B5 S4 when I overtook a new Ford F150 SVT Lightning. He was so piss off that he tried to drive me off the road when I slowed down due to slow vehicles ahead.

brand new owner of 328i here. I definitely notice more aggressiveness from others.
I switched lanes properly with spacing and signal lights, but for some reason the rig behind me had to immediately maneuver left and speed past me (I had to exit). I am a responsible driver aiming for high mpg majority of the time (without causing slow traffic), but I sometimes open it up when safe. |

People are idiots.
There are two lanes that merge into one as you enter the on-ramp I take every morning. The majority of the time (99%) everyone follows the one then one then one rule to keep traffic flowing. One day I'm expecting the lady to allow me to merge. I kept driving and she keeps getting closer and closer and runs me of the road. Flips the bird at me and doesn't even look in my direction. I'm pretty sure she was just an unhappy person because she was driving like a bitch and cutting car after car off. |

Just last Friday, we were driving on a side st. and a 7 y.o. kid walked into the middle of the street, pointed his finger at us and made the sound of a gun firing. I told my wife today it's make-believe, but give him 3 years and it'll be a real gun he's firing at innocent people driving a car. Note to self, don't use that cross street next time. |

i've also had instances where some trailer trash in a raised f250 or dodge hemi has tailgated me on the fwy (usually 101 in sonoma county), even though the lane to the left of me is clear for passing. obviously, these assholes have never taken a physics class (forget kinematics or any other subject that might help explain why tailgating in a large, heavy vehicle is a bad idea)

On other hand we have the "victims", the trailer park/inner city/ghetto/welfare crowd who is certain that they are "owed" something by society or that those rolling around in their "fancy" cars somehow do not deserve them. It's a wonder actually that there isn't more "class" related violence in this country given all the ignorance and head-up-ass behavior on both sides. What really gets me is that the U.S. is a rather culturally bankrupt society where cash is seen as goal in and of itself, yet when you do manage to get ahead a bit you start having other Americans aim hate and scorn in your general direction. Whether it be from some moronic Libtard, or Southern Hillbilly the derision is the same. Seems like no matter what you do someone is going to be pissed off that you've got more going on than they do. Hell, even BMW owners do this, here it's the 335vs328 crap or with the BMWCCA it's the "You have a New BMW, I cannot afford one so I'll say that E36s were the last REAL bmws" crap. I think it's just part of why the human race is doomed. We're so busy segregating ourselves into little camps of "my shit's better than your's" be it over religion, money, what schools we went to, what our profession is, etc... It's always comes down to I'm better than X because of Y, Ford-Chevy, Christian-Muslim, Stick-Automatic. Using a name brand or a label to create their own thin identity. You all know people who spend all their time when talking to you working out how they are better than you. They want to know how much a thing costs, and are quick to tell you haw much something costs, they are all about the labels they are wearing, etc. Whatever they can do to hopefully make their empty little existence mean something... Never even realizing that being a real person is a much better goal than simply swearing allegiance to the dollar, or a freaking name brand. It's freaky how differently you can get treated based on your clothing in this country... Dress nice you get hated by one group, respected in another, and seen as competition by a third. Dress scruffy and all the little camps will reverse themselves... All based on appearance, still the same scumbag just different clothes. Blah Blah Blah... Lots of caffeine today...

good call just leaving it be, as hard as that is to do it's the safest. They hate us because they haven't succeeded in life and hate those that have. You did the right thing.

I will let you know how it goes with me once I get mine in a few weeks. The closest city to Ft Polk is leesville. Typical redneck town.
I was asked today if I wanted to live off post or on post. I chose on post. No rednecks are allowed past the 24/7 gates. |

So you're saying there are no rednecks in the army? That's rich.

The other incident was in West Philly, somewhere west of Market headed out of the city. The Schuylkill Expressway was backed up so I decided why not go through West Phila. All I can say is that city seems to have been left behind, really has a 1978'ish look to it, like out of a movie, only the dilapidation is the real deal. |

Sorry, this is long
That was exactly the clip I was thinking of while reading this thread.
I've become quite accustomed to haters. I recently had an a$$clown not only pull over on me while I was making a perfectly legal pass (not before he sped up to try and close out the passing area on a 2 lane), then he jumped on it (I think he must have been surprised how fast a 335i with flash can go from 100km/h to 150km/h) and chased me (bear in mind once I was past I slowed down back down to my usual 15 to 20 km/h over the speed limit so he easily caught up) then tailgates me until we pull up on another car doing just around the speed limit. When I passed the next car he went to pull out to pass to try and keep up but quickly realized he wasn't going to catch up and backed off. I only had about 2km to my turn off so I went a little faster and then turned off to my golf course. So I look back and a$$hat is turning too. Great I thought, this psycho is now looking for a problem in a golf course parking lot. He parked while I unloaded my clubs and started to walk over. He spouted off about me passing him at 180. I calmly replied that "it wasn't 180 but ya I passed you right after you pulled across the oncoming lane - nice move - and you weren't speeding up so I couldn't get by? And you didn't tailgate me all the way here?" The whole time the video is playing in my head but I'm using my driver not a gun... Then he piped up about obeying the speed lmiit and making some calls. I suggested that I'd be here for the next 5 hours or so and for him to make all the calls he thinks he has to. Funny the dick didn't do anything. I just don't get the mentallity. It was 6:45 in the morning on a Sunday, there were exactly 3 cars for 30 km and this clown goes on to pulll this crap. Sure I was speeding but who gives a f. I've been to advanced driving schools, educated myself on car control, road safety and guarantee my car is safer with me behind the wheel at double the limit than this clown was at the speed limit. What exactly is going through your head when you try to cut someone off when they are passing you? Fucking idiot could have killed us both. Long (sorry) story short. He was a bald headed, 4 eyed, overweight pos driving a Mazda B200 pickup silver with one black wheel and 3 silver wheels - in spectaularly bad shape. I'd hate his life too, but I'm pretty sure I wouldn't go around taking it out on other people if they tried to pass me on the highway. I have since taken to referring to him as the bald headed chicken fucker. I hope I don't run into him again. What a douche. I did shake it off and shoot 80 though. |
