F*&^(& in yuppie drivers

[MrHunters]

Who the f do you think you are!
Driving home last night after a long work day, then to the new place for 5 hours of painting then the 25 mile run back to the old place.
Its all back roads and 1 lane the entire way. About 1/3 into the drive some A-hole gets so close to me I can't even see him in my rear view. I tap on my brakes a few times to warn him to back the f up!He doesn't, and stays that way for the next 5 miles or so. Then comes the turn onto another slightly busier road... if your from around here in ipswich where 133 and 1A split. the F@#$@#$er tries to pass me across a double lane. Funny thing is his little vw gulf couldnt get up enough speed to pass my jeep so after about 10 seconds he had to back off again . He tried a second time later, and I let him this time only to get caught behind someone else. HIGH BEAMS the rest of the ride.
On that commute I see maybe 4 or 5 speed traps on average no exageration but WHERE are the cops when chit like this happens!

Oh man MH i can feel the whole thing in my gut. He was prolly talking on his cell at the same time. "Look at me, aren't i important", people like that are a dime a dozen.

Ticks ya off too no end, but now i learned to just pull off to the side on a one lane road, let em' pass, smile and throw em' a kiss.

Get's em' everytime.

Would that be an apprentice yuppie or just larval yuppie?

There's no free ride, and hence no apprenticeship.

But don't get all down on yuppies, they keep the high-end services economy humping along

That's the beauty of manual transmission.
Don't have to tap anything.
Just ease off the gas and downshift.
Eventually when they realize they are doing about 15 mph they get pissed off and pass.

I did see an idiot one morning (this was the best) on Rte 1 NB in Saugus at about 5AM. Still dark. Came right up on my ass at about 90 and starting hitting the highs.
Pulled right over for him. Went right up on the car in front of me and did the same thing.
I could clearly see "STATE POLICE" on the trunk of that car.
I think it's in reflective lettering?
He pulled over to let the guy go.
Them got right behind him and lit him up.
I got to see justice once.

I usually slow down to a crawl and try to remain calm [very difficult to do].
