Had to go to work the day of the storm....found that the one main street was better plowed than the freeway I had to take part of the way in. Nobody on the roads....I left an hour earlier than I usually do and made it there 45 minutes earlier than I had to be!
The next day (day after the storm) was a heck of a lot worse! Idiots who clear out a postage stamp sized spot on their rear window, and don't clean off their bumper (I'm supposed to be able to tell that they've just slammed on their brakes by the pinkish hue that the snow kind of takes on!  ) I leave 3 car lengths between me and the car in front of me, but this A-hole decides to give me an inch (if that) before cutting over into my lane (and of course he didn't use his turn signals....not that they would have done any good with all the damn snow on his bumper). I lay on the horn, and he flips ME off! What I wouldn't give for an iron bar and five minutes along in a room with that jackass! |
What really bugs me is the morons driving 50+ mph down the road with a roof full of snow/ice that eventually blows off in a big sheet. Those guys I want to kick in the nuts.
Got stuck behind a guy a couple of weeks ago with about 6 inches of snow on his roof and the postage sized stamp window in front and back that you describe. Me, I was in my F350 with everything completely cleared off. Worst thing about it was I was the only one coming down the road in my lane and this idiot just HAD to pull out in front of me from his driveway and drive less than 20 mph in a 30 zone and then 20 mph in a 45. I was PISSED. He could have just waited for me to pass and then pulled in behind me if he wanted to go that slow. Did he seriously think that I was going to drive slower than him while I am in a completely clean F350 FX4 with 4wheel drive? Did I mention that I was PISSED? I was stuck behind him for 20 minutes, and contemplating running him off the road the entire time.
