Thsi is for all the so called “Drivers” in the City of Halifax who feel that they should not need to wait in line with the rest of us as we wait to get to where we want to go. There are many areas in the HRM where I see this happening but will point out a couple that really piss me off. On the highway after work behind Penhorm Mall waiting to take the exit to Portland Street during rush hour. Moast times the traffic in the right hand lane is backed up a half KM as people wait to get onto the off ramp to head towards Cole Harbour. Yet time and time again I see idiots racing past me and putting their right signal light on and squeezing in front of everyone else. What the fuck makes you so special?! I have been sitting there for 10 minutes moving at a snail’s pace. Yet you think you are so fucking special that you should just go to the front of the line. Do these brainless morons think that we are all just sitting in line because we enjoy the view? I think that everyone should band together and just not let these enitlest mornons into line.

I agree with OP here however would like to add an amendment. If your driving at a snails pace on a 2 lane road and someone whom is driving faster goes to pass you, there is no need to speed up to not let them in. What diference does it make if they get in front of you and are going faster? None, so fuck off…
I want to be an enitlest mornon when I grow up.
i’m already an entitled mormon.
I travel the same route every day, I dont let people in and ill make sure to tailgate the guy infront of me to keep them out. Its not the people who try to sneak past everyone, its the fuckin polite cunts that let them in. I letting them in stopped they wouldnt do it.
Logic- I think there is a HUGE difference if I am sitting in line for 15 minutes and you decide that the back of the line is not for you so you try to put your piece of junk in front of my car and because I do not want your rusted out shitbox banging up my car I let you in. It has Fuck All to do with going faster you idiot. If you are driving up to your exit and you see a long line up of cars what does your speed have tyo do with common courtesy and getting in line like everyone else?!?! If you are at the bank standing in a lineup for half an hour should it be ok for me to just barge in front of you and say “Oh sorry..but I was going faster”. How is it any different because you are in a car? Don’t strain yourself trying to grasp the analogy.
pellsing imstakes aer fnuny
haha zZz
Seriously, just stop letting the douchebags in. Problem solved.
Next.
HaHa Bobby33, You misinterpreted, I agree with OP’s point, amendment is an addition to the point, I was referring to a different situation where there is no traffic, one car going slow, car behind goes to pass in the passing lane, said slow car then decides to speed up…
Also, I have a hunch my car is better than yours based on your shitty attitude and in the end, to be on your level of argument, Fuck your “analogy”…
addendum is an addition. amendment is a change. wow – i know i suck, but i couldn’t resist. (However that said – the response was a tad harsh Bobby33 – it was pretty apparent that he agreed but was adding)
HaHa very true, Guess I should pay attn while making a point!
YES YES!! This is my BIGGEST pet peeve on the roads and I do not let any of these entitled fucks get in front of my car. Another terrible place for this is getting on the MacKay bridge from the Windsor Street exchange. I once saw a woman almost get creamed by a huge truck trying to scoot in at the last second. Not to say she deserved to get killed but if the accident would have occurred, I would have loved to see her explain that one to the cops. People, get in the correct fucking lane to begin with!
OH MY FUCK YES! That area on Portland St is the FUCKING WORST!! I will add the fuckers who use the left lane in front of the McDonald’s and then try to butt in front of all the people wanting to exit right to get onto the 111 AND the fucktards who get into the “right lane” in front of Penhorn/the Ultramar going in the opposite direction then just having to REMERGE because the “right lane” ends a few feet later, like that’s going to help them get anywhere any faster. I wish I had a BB gun when I’m driving.
Another bad spot is at Bayers Lake at the 4-way stop intersection by the new office building and the Dodge dealership. Depending on which direction you are heading, either the right lane or the left lane is backed up. The entitled ones zoom past in the empty lane, cut into the NSLC office parking lot, and zoom back out to the 4-way stop, which is always empty because it just serves their parking lot.
Yes! And they also zoom up to RONA and come back out in front of everyone else. I HATE that!
ya I experienced that before. I used to have an old truck and actually hit 2 people who did that on their blind spot.
Police decided it was their fault. I was happy.
They were pissed.
I didn’t make them pay for my damages, them explaining it to parents, family, etc.. and having to fix their own car was satisfaction enough.
I don’t let any of these douchebags in. I do my absolute best to make sure that whenever possible I make them miss their exit and have to loop around and come back. We seriously need to re-evaluate our driving laws and regulations. We need much much stiffer penalties and fines for driving infractions. I’d love to see the HRP and RCMP out on the roads in force ticketing like there’s no tomorrow. Keep it up for a few months and people will be forced to improve on their bad habits and start driving reasonably. Too many drivers think that it’s a right. It’s not. It’s a privelege and most drivers in NS should NOT have a license. I got hit and runned a couple months ago (some of you may remember the bitch) and the fucking cunt got away with it. And I can tell you, the law didn’t prevail, but justice eventually will. Karma has a way of balancing out the universe.
I’m human, so this kind of lane-jumping ticks me off too. Maybe not as much as it used to, but it still does some.
So what I do, as a legal *and* safe kind of “F**k you” to all the potential dickheads out there, is vary my driving habits a bit when I can. For example, when going down Portland Street past Penhorn Mall, towards Gaston Street, I might occasionally occupy the left lane, and drive at 45, turn left onto Chestnut Lane, and then squirt out from Gaston Street on the green…this works nicely, esepcially with enough traffic going both ways, to frustrate scumbags on that stretch.
Another favourite is the dragstrip heading past Braemar Superstore towards downtown Dartmouth…occasionally I’ll get in the left lane, drive at 45, and ultimately turn left onto Celtic or Sinclair…having in the meantime pissed off one or two nimrods looking to jump a dozen cars…
My all time favourite – I don’t do this much – is to cross on the new bridge heading over to Halifax, and as soon as possible situate myself in the left lane right next to a guy in the right lane who is tooling along at the speed limit. This is best at morning rush hour. I maintain position next to the guy for the entire trip across. Invariably a massive convoy of irate speedsters forms up behind me.
This latter tactic is also good on any of the 100-series highways…just pass a car at a speed which is like 0.10 kmh faster than the car you’re passing. It should take you at least a minute to pass, closer to 2 if you’re good at it. This is intensely satisfying.
As others have also said, if you’re actually in the situation, don’t let the person cut in. Give them a big toothy smile and make eye contact as you inch forward to keep them squeezed out. They’ll get the idea.
Realist in Dartmouth: Ahh, so you’re the asshole that everyone hates when driving on the MacKay Bridge. Good to hear your asinine “tricks” are so intensely satisfying to you.
TBU, I only pull the bridge trick about once a year, so if there’s some other asshole who obstructs your need to break the law on a fairly regular basis, it’s not me.
As for the “tricks” being “tricks”, I didn’t describe anything but completely legal and safe driving. What you’re saying is that I only have a right to be in those lanes if I break the law, so as to accommodate the speed requirements of anal plugs like yourself. Sorry, boss, but I don’t see it that way.
