Then I have people behind me tailgating, even when there is room enough to go around me, and they are honking thier horns, and flashing thier lights..and offering me thier "single digit IQ score". Don't they realize that all of this behavior will not prompt me to politely let them by?
Wnen they tailgate too long tap your brake a few times.
Marie, Okie - I really hate tailgaters, especially on a weekend afternoon when I'm out for a relaxing spin on a country road. I usually do pull over and let them pass... otherwise neither of us enjoys our drive.
On the other hand, I get snippy when people are lanehopping, and do me sneakie durndest to thwart their evil little plans..:sneaky:
I assume that tailgaters are either really really in a hurry to catch a plane or are rushing a sick kid to hospital, in which case, I sympathise and try and help them by getting out of the way.. OR.. they are dangerous fuqqwits who don't know how to drive properly and I don't really want people like that anywhere near me when I'm driving. Either way - let em go!!!

What's this about you checkin up on me posts. I defined fuqqwit for you anyway. Grin. All other drivers!!! I believe plonker is the English translation - I just learned this word in another thread. (Previously I thought it might be another word for the plunger thingie you use to unblock dunnies um blocked by fuqqwits probably... Fuqqwit in this case means anybody except me - and you, of course.. grin. :-4
Uncle K - what can one say?? That's an oscene hour to be at the office, unless you passed out under your desk from the Friday night work drinkies party and have only just woken up ...
Okie - ya sweet talker you!!! Grin. The SouthWest certainly does seem to produce some hunky blokes!!! Must be the oil wells or maybe the consumption of armadillo kebabs. MMMMMMmmmm... Things in Texas really are big. I roped, threw and branded this here cow, and handed it to the good folks in Amarillo. It should make several 72oz steaks...
Wow Pam! YOu got a big ol Texas steer there. Yep, I reckon that would make a lot of 72 oz steaks. I never had the nerve to try to eat one of those. Oz turns out some great looking sheilas too.
Well, they can't be fined by the advertsising authorities now can they? The trouble is products rarely do what they promise and we're shocked or taken by surprise when they do :-5

Someone told me years ago to turn on my lights if someone was tailgating and it would look like my brake lights. But it was a long time ago and I would prefer to get out of the way too.

I hope you are feeling well cleansed by now, Snooze!!!
And good onya, Theia. Life's too short to spend it getting upset about the stupidity of other drivers. Grin.
Ah Okie - ya reckon it wasn't a cow?!! grin. And yer too kind!!! :-4 I think ya got me singing about longhorn cattle on the old Chisholm trail now!!!
Come along boys and listen to my tale,
I'll tell you of my troubles on the old Chisholm trail.
I am sitting at my PC for the first time since getting the lap top. Rick wanted me to duplicate a couple of CDs for him, which I had to do here. SO I thought I would stay awhile, so the PC would not feel slighted.
Yesterday my postman stopped by to say welcome to the neighborhood. He told me his name and gave me a rundown of the services he offered. Then he asked if I would prefer a written notice when I receive packages or would it be okay if he dropped it off at the door.
We have "gang mailboxes" located a block away. I have never met my postman before.

Not that time, but I'm sure there will be another chance, I keep forgetting that I can't whizz around the room like I used to, so no doubt I'll come a cropper again :rolleyes:

I met my postman this morning too, he'd found a dog wandering around and was knocking on doors looking for the owner. I like that postman.:-6
Meanwhile last week at my ex's house the postman ran my cat over. :-1 I Don't like that postman.
