Tailgated and cutoff for driving too slow..

in a frikkin parking deck.

Here's the setup, the deck is 4 floors and we weren't leaving the deck we were coming home. So my normal habit is to drive at 10-15 mph in the deck, I feel thats pretty safe, since there are about 30-40 cars parked on each level on a daily basis.

Apparently this dude behind me has a secret crime fighting identity, because he rides my tail all the way to where I am about to park, and I make the move to back in. It takes me less than 15 secs to back into my spot, but before I could even move, this clown drives around me at 30 mph or so and cuts me off!

I park on the 3rd floor, he lives on the 4th, so guess what? He was only driving up half a level to get to his spot. I almost had the urge to haul ass and tear him a new one, but I calmed down. It was already a dangerous situation and I didn't want to make it worse.

Anyway I digress. Thanks for listening.

i think i would have fun with this guy. since you know where he parks everynight just do stuff to his car. nothing incriminating like vandalism. i mean just for the next few months just pull the wipers up or the gas cap out a few times a week. it will drive him nuts.

If he does it just once, then chalk it up to a bad day.

If this is his habit, then ya I think I'd have a conversation too.

Do what I do, and if it is a Manual, press the clutch, and rev the engine at him when he is tailgating you.

If that doesn't work, take a glass of water and dump it on his drivers side door when it gets real cold in the winter

One thing I liked about TX where I was at down by Zapata was folks would get out of your way, without a fuss. They see you coming up and they slide over on the shoulder before you even get there and let you pass and wave to have a nice day. Everyone, including the big trucks. Of course their shoulder are as wide and paved as nice as the regular lanes.


Here in Ohio folks think its their right to drive 45 in a 65 zone in the fast lane holding up traffic as only what’s in front of them matters, with no concern that maybe someone behind them had something more important to do.

Living by the lake we get that crap allot, lookie lou's who want to drive 3mph to look at the lake instead of just pulling over and stopping. [its a no passing zone]

"Its 100F outside, Im meltin and want to get home, pull over jacka** and make way. The brown shiet water we have in lake Erie isn't that exciting to look at to begin with."
