I wanna kill story
My wife and I are eating lunch at Boston Market, and we are watching the folks drive by. As we are sitting, we notice several truck drivers having trouble with their extended cab "rigs".
First guy parks by braille, inching in till he taps the Pontiac Grand AM and then backs up and enters the slot somewhat diagonally, leaving the passenger to the Toyota (on his left side) no way in to their door. Wife says, "Did you see that? That truck hit the Grand Am" Oh it was probably accidental. "No he tapped it on purpose and THEN backed up" (of course, he left no note or even looked to see what scratching he caused).
Next is an older guy that didn't have a clue where his rear tires were on a turn. He didn't swing it wide enough, and he just entered the parking slot at the wrong angle. 2 feet over the line on the one side. So he backs up to redo it. After his redo, he is just 1.75 feet onto the next stall!
So I urge the wife to hurry up, basically I want to get my car the flock out of there before the next urban cowboy decides he can "squeeze her in" between me and that old man's truck.
But on the way home, an other encounter. (Must of been John Trivolta himself). as he makes a three lane change in the middle of an intersection, across me and another car. All I could do was slow down and shake my head, then the MF flips me the bird!
What exactly are these idiots thinking? And where did they learn to drive? This is a pretty diverse community, several years back we used to make fun of newbie asian drivers in particular, but in the BayArea this new breed of "trucker" really takes the cake.

truckers are pretty bad since they think they own the world and are indistructable and can tower over everyone else. Asians just have a bad rep and will always have a bad rep. senior citizens and kids 16-17 are just as bad but for me the worst are the soccer moms driving there mini vans on their cell phones. I ride to school every now and then on my bike and these damn moms cut me off, no signal no nothing just jawing away on their little cell phones stopping their mini vans wherever they so please to let junior out of the car. sorry for the rant but people like that make me sick. I think i would **** a brick if i saw a truck back up into my car and not give a damn cuz his truck is scratchless.

'driving by Braille'
I'd like to buy an old beater truck to drive around town solely for the purpose of ramming the next guy who flips me the bird for no reason. A nice and violent T-bone to stun the driver, get out, reach into his window, snap his middle finger back to his wrist, then call a cab for a ride home.
