Have you driven anyone crazy?

cheerfulgreek · #1 05-06-2007, 01:05 AM

I posted an earlier thread about driving pet peeves.

The new question is have you ever made anyone really mad at the way you drive?

Recently, I was at a stop light and when I reached down to pick up a CD off of the floor, by mistake I took my foot off of the clutch and the car took off into the car in front of me.

There was no damage. I got out to apologize, but the crazy thing was we were on a gravel road (construction) and I ended up in front of the same car I just bumped. To make a long story short, I wasn't paying attention (talking on my cell phone

) and a car stopped in front of me, so I slammed on the brakes, sliding toward the car in front of me almost bumping him. I finally came to a stop, but the car behind me was sliding toward me. No accident thank God. I was so embarrassed.

The lady in back of me was SO mad. I couldn't blame her.

Nope, but you just drove me crazy by posting this.

Maybe you should be a little more careful while driving. It's people like you that have caused some fatal accidents. It's not something to joke about.

Oh. It's you again.

In case you haven't noticed, this thread is not about fatalities. I wouldn't joke about anything like that. If you wanna talk about automotive fatalities, that would be a different thread.

Just click on a "topic" and then click "new thread" and there ya have it. How long have you been a member on GC now?

Oh dear Lord. How long have YOU been a member?

I have definitely had more than one accident. I'm not that great of a driver. Passable, yes. Am I so confident that I cart around other people's small children? NO.
Things I've noticed that make driving and not hitting people or making it harder for them to hit me is to NOT DO the things you've talked about. If something is on the floor, leave it. Don't talk on the phone. Are you one of those people that text when you drive too?
Good grief. PM_Mama00 didn't need to start a new thread - you in essence bragged about doing things that cause fatalities. All she did was call you out on it.
Cute way to start the thread though. I'm guessing "Hey! I'm an irresponsible driver!" just didn't have the same ring to it in the subject line.

Seriously. First you hit someone because you were picking up something off the floor, then you almost hit someone because you were too damn busy talking on the cell phone.

PM Mama didn't do a thing wrong with her post. People like you scare the shit out of me. And people like you kill people.

Everyone f's up and everyone does stupid things sometimes. But then learn from it and don't go around bragging about it like they did something cool.

Sincerely,
Someone who has lost a close family member to an idiot driver.

cheerfulgreek, hopefully you have learned your lesson from that incident and minimize your distractions while driving.

You may have gotten lucky so far, but if you continue with that behavior its only a matter of time before something more serious happens.

A 5 year old boy in my area died because of a 20-something woman talking on a cell phone. She wasn't speeding, just wasn't paying attention while talking on her phone. (Much like you described above.) Now the little boy's dead, and she's in jail for vehicular manslaughter.

The only reason I'm happy you do things like that is because it's people like you that give people like me a job to do. I really, truly, believe that talking on a cellphone while driving should be made illegal in more states. Hands-free or no talking. I will either not answer my cellphone while driving, or put it on speakerphone and put the phone down completely.
You drive like a moron and I'm glad no one got hurt.

Hey, I never said I was a great driver.

Well that's ok. Because now we all know you're officially an idiot.

I hope I never get behind you while you're driving. I would get distracted by the bumper stickers on the back of your car.

One reads: Caution, I stop for sex offenders.
The other one reads: Honk if you're a pervert.

Beep beep

Oh, and you're an idiot with low self esteem.

What does the 00 mean in your screen name? Is that how many dates you've had in the last 7 years?

That's really pathetic, I hope you know that.

Wow. You really have no life. For one... you need to GET OFF the sex offender thing. Find something else to try to "offend" me with. And two... 00 is the year I was initiated dumbass.

Do yourself a favor. Just stop posting. The more you post, the more you look like a pathetic jackass.
