some people...

Some people just appall me. I was out today running a couple of close-in errands. On the way home, I stopped for the light at our big intersection (so-called because the rail tracks run parallel to the boulevard and the cross street has a dedicated right-turn lane, so you really have to pay attention) while the other side of the street got their left-turn arrow. A guy in a wheel chair was crossing (he started across with the light, but it's a wide intersection and he was under his own power so not exactly zipping) and he reached my side of the intersection (three lanes plus the right-turn lane) about the same time our light turned green. So me and the guy next to me just sit there waiting on him. No big deal; I'm not in a hurry and pedestrians (and wheelchairs) have the right-of-way. Took the guy about six seconds to finish crossing and I could tell he was trying to hurry, but neither of us were moving until he actually reached the sidewalk. Like I said, no biggy.

Guy behind us starts freaking out and leaning on his horn like a damn fuckwit. We ignored him and he make a perfect twat of himself until we started moving.

Seriously, dude? WTF is wrong with you?! >_<

And then he had to roar past us up the road when he had the chance, barreling through a residential area like he was John Force at Pomona. >_< I would so like to be able to melt the engines of those assholes. *sigh*

Anyway, just needed to blow that off. >_>

Well, hopefully, karma had him blow past a cop a mile or so on down the road. Or maybe hit a really big pot hole and bust a tire. :P

Ugh. That's just freaking obnoxious. Stupid people have no patients especially when there's someone crossing the road. D:

Though I did piss off a girl who was in front of me at the street light to come into school. She was speeding all over the place (driving a mustang), pulled in front of me 'cause she thought she would get there faster and then she wasn't paying attention when the light turned green so I scared the shit out of her when it turned by honking my horn :D That was probably not the best thing to do...but I was annoyed >.<

It would be so nice if we could melt their engines... and make them ride big wheels around instead of cars until they learn some patience...

While there's no excuse for acting like an impatient ass, it is entirely possible that he just didn't see the old man crossing the street.  I know there have been times when I've wondered what the holdup was, and then noticed later on that there was a pedestrian or some such.  A 'shorter' fellow in a wheelchair could easily hide in front of a truck.

And also to be fair, I was once really pissed off on the road by a grumpy asshole in a wheelchair. -_-

Sunhawk beat me to the comment I was going to make. A couple years back I got an idiot on the freeway to get himself caught. Some dude was acting stupid behind me, so I purposely prevented him from being impatient and getting in front by slowing down when he was behind me, then speeding up a little to block him from cutting in. The friend I was with though talked me down a bit and got me to stop before something bad happened. Good thing too, because the moron zoomed past us, doing some serious lane dancing, right past a CHP car. Damn, but sometimes, there really is some small amount of justice in this world. And though I may not be a perfect or even really great driver, I try my best to not be an arsehole. Some people though, really need a boot up the arse.

Hello!
This is totally off topic, but with the above incident, maybe it won't be unwelcome?
Twisted Hilarity recc'd on Delicious your GW fanfic "The Trouble With Chibis" and I, being no fool about anything she likes, went to go read it at Gundam Wing Addiction.
I am so pleased I did.
So well written! So readable! So Amusing!
Kudos!
Thank you for your time.
