Without fail, every time I see a distracted driver fricking around on their (mostly females) phone at a stop light and then fail to move when the light turns green, they wake up just in time to be the last car through the light, stranding everyone behind them. Saw it happen twice just today.

It's just amazing how they get their head out of their arse just in time to sneak through the light and frick over every else.

People need to become a little quicker on the trigger with the horn. Zero tolerance. Giving them an extra couple of seconds as a courtesy is part of the problem.

That's what the horn is for. If your eyes aren't forward when it's time to move, I'm blowing the horn. Not in the toot-toot "hey buddy" kind of way either. It's the long drawn out "you're a fricking a-hole and deserve a painful death" kind of way.

I always keep one hand on the horn. Trick I learned in Africa.

My biggest issue that I have encountered lately is that black people, and mostly black women drivers, seem to think that the left lane of the interstate is for driving and not passing.

They have no concern for impeding traffic behind them and will look at you like you are the one that is crazy for wanting them to move into the right lane.

The left lane on I-10 and I-12 in BR is sometimes the slowest lane on the entire fricking road sometimes because of this shite.

I'm beginning to think there are only 2 types of drivers at this point.

First group are assholes who refuse to put their fricking devices down while they're behind the wheel, and the second are people who fricking HATE the first group.

That would be me.

I watch the person in front of me, and if they have their head down and on the phone, I blow the horn as soon as the light turns green. I don't even give them a second. I figure they have no idea how long it's been green.

That's apparently what they teach in black driving school.

You need to check your white privilege.

Those "I love my husband" posts aren't going to get there by themselves.

I'll go one better.

When driving on a two lane road, if I see someone with their head in their crotch on their phone as they're heading my way, I'll slide over towards the middle and lay on my horn right as they approach. Most of the time you can tell they look up in horror as if they've drifted over into the opposite lane while fricking around on their phone and you just KNOW that for the next 20 seconds they're going to have that OH shite adrenaline coursing through them.

I consider it a public service...maybe fear will be the only thing to get these idiots to fricking stop this shite.
