  • Please DO NOT BLOCK THE DRIVEWAY Thank You!
  • "I didn't back down on clown trying to force me to reverse"

    I was driving down my street, a narrow little street and was just outside my house, ready to turn in, when the following thing. happened. BTW, I assume most of you have a driving rule (for narrow streets) that if you are going to overtake/pass parked cars on your side, you stop and wait for oncoming traffic to pass before you go on? Well, this
  • driver decided to ignore the rules and she definitely saw me before swerving over to my side of the road and drove towards me fast in her SUV. Thing is, as I said, I was actually just about to turn into my driveway. I was home basically. But she drove up so near to me I couldn't turn in.
  • So I left the car, locked it, and strolled over to my house, up the driveway, opened my front door and just stood there looking at her blankly. She got the message and even waved a sort of embarrassed apology (not Canada here lol, but UK). All sorted in about a minute or two.
  • Edit - she reversed back and did that wave and grin thing. I was a bit disappointed in myself I didn't grab a beer and a deck chair to elongate the situation, but it was a public road so I thought I'd make my point and then get the road clear. No other commuters were inconvenienced in this incident. No queues etc.. :)
  • Joe402 This reminds me of the joke/story about the ship telling the other vessel to change course. The ship says, "Adjust your course to avoid a collision." The vessel says, "No, you change course to avoid a collision." The ship gets all huffy and pulls military credentials and orders the other vessel to change course immediately. The vessel responds, "We're a lighthouse. Your move." Same energy. I like it.

  • Initial-Shop-8863 Last century, when the first Star Wars movie came out, a couple of girls found out which area of Los Angeles Harrison Ford lived in. His house was up a narrow canyon road with houses on only one side, and that road did not have room to pass.
  • So the two girls were driving up and down the road, speculating on which house was his, when some guy in a beat-up pickup truck starts following them closely. He honks the horn occasionally, trying to get them to move so he can get by. Flustered, they turned into a driveway and wait for him to pass. But he won't. He adds certain explicit gestures and honks more and longer.
  • So they back out of the driveway so that their car is facing him, and then back up so the driveway is clear. The guy in the pickup truck pulls into the driveway, gets out. He's now cussing at them and throws another ride gesture their way while he's walking up to his front door. Yes, it was Harrison Ford. No, they didn't stick around to ask for his autograph.
  • avid-learner-bot I can't help but picture that driver zooming by and then suddenly realizing they'd forgotten their morning coffee or something. It's funny how sometimes just standing there with your door open is all it takes to make someone rethink their speed choice. Glad you managed to handle the situation without any drama, though. It must have been a bit of a surprise for her when she realized she couldn't pass you that easily
  • dmitrineilovich I was a driver for a tow company that did roadside assistance, a famous 3 letter company. One day I was picking up a disabled vehicle in a residential neighborhood, taking it to a mechanic. I turned down the street towards the main thoroughfare and waited at the stop sign for traffic to clear for me to proceed. The neighborhood street was narrow, with cars parked on both sides, so really just enough room for my truck and its load. As I
  • waited, an entitled chuckle uck in a BMW stopped, signaled to turn left and started to enter the street where I was parked. I sat and gestured for him to back up a little so I could go, whereupon he could then proceed down the residential street oncelhad left. Oh no, he wasn't having any of that sh. He insisted that I back up to clear the way (never mind that I was towing a car and would have had to back up 100+ yards). I tried again to reason with him and he just started honking his horn at me.
  • NO PARKING PLEASE
  • truck in park, turned on my emergency lights, and took out my phone. He jumped out of his car and screamed that he was going to call the police. I smiled and told him to do exactly that and we'd see who got the ticket. His resolve finally broke before the police arrived, so no instant karma there. I was hoping for an aneurysm, but no such luck.
  • Maximum Employer5580 reminds me of the various times I've gone to the grocery store and someone decides to go the wrong way down the parking aisle and they just sit there using hand motions to tell me to let them by. I loved much more when I had my truck as I would just sit there as I had the right of way and I wasn't in a big hurry to go anywhere. Sometimes I'd get out and tell them from a distance where I knew they could hear me that they were going
  • the wrong way and they would need to either reverse or find a way to turn around because I wasn't moving. 95% of the time it was some little old lady, usually one of those that were conceited and felt the world owed them everything, but a time or two they were confused and at the age that they shouldn't be driving anymore
