[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Why me? (Page 1 of 3)

Why do people fuck with me? Why do I get hassled by fucktards telling me to slow down when I'm going the same speed as everyone else? Why when I point out that they've no reliable method for discerning my speed do they flip out and call me an asshole? Should I buy a compact car and drive that around, just so the same overly emotional fuckwads don't even notice me? Maybe... And why do these same people think that it's a GREAT idea right after a heated argument to follow me to my house? Why ME? Why don't they stop to consider the line that they're crossing by following me to my house? Do they not understand what that implies? Why do they want to know where I live? To send me a Christmas Card? I don't think so... Why ME? |
just fuckin' wit ya

Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: So, does this happen a lot? Today was the second time in a year. The first time a different neighbor was upset with me because he let his dog out into the road and it got flattened. By you? By me. He called me a bunch of names then waited at my house while I was at the store. Had to get the cops involved.  And no I don't live in the ghetto. I live in a nice mountain community where the houses are spaced far apart.

I meet an asshole at the dog park today. Inside the dog park is a second fenced in area with a pond inside it. I go to open the gate to let my dog go swimming and out of fucking nowhere this dude shouts, "SIR! SIR! Please don't open the gate!" His dogs like 5 feet from me and there's no fucking way that I'm gonna let his dog in the pond area. I just don't do that shit. So I stand there with my hand on the gate, like "are you fucking kidding me? Why are you yelling". I'm hung over from the little party I had last night and now this assshole's yelling like in my fucking ear. Fuck! He grabs and hold his dog back while I open the gate to let the dog go swimming. "Thank you!" he fucking shouts! Again, why the fuck are you yelling? God damn man. Chill the fuck out. I just look at him like he's fucking nuts and walk away. |

I've gotten into it before with a neighbor before over his huge out off-leash dog. The thing came across the street to the mailbox and growled at me. I threatened to shoot it, sheriff showed up and told the guy and his redneck wife they were violating leash laws. He also told me to call them immediately if I ever have any problems with these neighbors again. People need to keep their dogs on a leash or inside fences or walls at all times. In your case, I can't say the dog deserved to get flattened, but the neighbor deserved to have his dog flattened. |

I'm going to go out on a limb here, but I'm guessing that you drive a Chevy/GMC truck, most probably a diesel model and I'm also speculating that it might have 4X4 or a lift of some kind. Let me know if any of those assumptions are correct. When you say that "your going the same speed as everybody else" how much faster over the speed limit for your residential street would you say that is?

Yes it's lifted. |

My truck is big and loud and IMO some people don't like it and use 'speeding' as an excuse to fuck with me. Why else would they freak out when I ask, "So how fast was I going?" You have a "look at me" truck and you're upset that people look at you? Spock\ Illogical human \Spock |

Call me whatever you want to, no one could piss me off enough for me to do something like that. I care about my freedom above all things.

No further contact with him and he keeps his gate closed now. Which is better for everyone- dogs, kids and drivers.

Earlier you said that your going the same speed as everybody else. So how fast is that exactly? The same question you ask them applies to you, how can you definitively know what speed they're going? I guess the point is the perception of you is that you are driving faster than the speed limit for the street. The fact that you have a big, loud truck certainly adds to the visceral experience for the bystanders. Any number of other contributing factors could be the reason they have their radar set on you. Loud music blasting through the neighborhood as you drive by could be another reason that comes to mind. The fact you ran over a pet from the neighborhood certainly doesn't help your reputation any. My suggestion to you is, be less conspicuous when driving your residential streets. As a general rule, people almost never obey the posted residential speed limit. Reality is a posted limit of 25mph doesn't mean you should drive that. You have to use your best judgement. What is a safe speed for the conditions? Are there children present, etc? Maintaining a low profile is the key to peace and harmony in the neighborhood. I ride a Harley and as most people know, they tend to be louder than most other motor vehicles. So when riding in or out of my neighborhood I drop my speed and choose a higher gear so that I drop the revs which in turn reduces the db level. You might want to consider a similar strategy.

| Ignore it. Or, when they follow you to your house, get out of your truck and run after them. Dont stop either. Keep going, so they see you in the rearview, and flatten your hands out like the T1000. Put on a serious face. They will regret following you. If they stop, stick your head in the window and keep screaming "HAVE YOU SEEN THIS BOY" at the top of your lungs. You probably dont carry around a pic of Edward Furlong, so make do with just screaming. I promise you I have done this. |
