Guy Generously Moving Giant Branch Out of the Road After a Large Storm Gets Honked At, So He Makes the Extra Effort To Drag It In Front of the Entitled Driver's Car Instead

When it comes to driving edict, there are many unwritten rules. Many would say that they are just common sense or even common courtesy. However, the amount of drivers that cause others extreme frustration while on the road would beg to differ. It would seem that many people out there behind the while could use a class on proper driving edict. 

 

One rule of common driving edict is not to honk at someone who is trying to do something that helps everyone on the road. For example, someone who has gotten out of their car to help a slow elderly woman cross the road quicker and safer. Or, perhaps, someone who has gotten out of their car to remove a huge object in the road that is blocking everyone from moving pass. And yet… Here we are, with a karma story from someone who was just trying to help but still getting honked at…

  • In this case, there had just been a bad storm and a huge branch was left on the road. Not too big that it couldn't be dragged off by an adult, but not small enough to drive by or over it unscathed. So, a driver got out to move it to the side. However, as they struggled to move this very heavy branch off to the side, the entitled driver behind them kept laying on the horn. So, the pettiness took over, and rightfully so! Instead of moving the branch off of the road, they made an extra effort to now move it right in front of the car that was honking. They were doing you a favor, but now it's your turn to put the extra effort in! Play petty, get petty.

  • "Sorry I am not moving this fallen limb blocking the road fast enough for you. Let me just move it from in front of my car to in front of yours."

    After a round of big storms, I was driving to work, and this woman had sorta been tailgating me for a bit, nothing too severe, but annoying me because it is still raining out and the roads are slick. Nice car. Middle- aged looking driver.

  • I encountered a rather large branch on the road. I guess technically it was a limb? Not sure where the line is between branch and limb. Anyroad, it was a big enough sucker, but I thought I could drag it off to the side, so I got out and with some huffing and puffing started to move it,

  • TangoMikeOne I'd be generous about the first honk, and || assume it was a are you doing stopping in the middle of the road?" honk, but after that everything should be obvious and if she had to honk again, it should only have been a quick tap and when OP looked up, given thumbs up, smile, clap, something to show some gratitude and appreciation, so I'm very happy that OP overcame his pettiness guilt, she earned it!

  • berserk119 Nah, she earned that. Honking at someone trying to clear the road is peak entitlement. I'd have done the same thing.

  • dusinbooger My FIL once broke down in the road. He had the hood up, trying to fix it, when the car behind him started honking. After a few honks he calmly walked over to the other car and said, "If you like we can trade places...you can try to fix my car and I'll sit in yours and honk the horn."

  • Halfa ManYouAre People are so oblivious. Car broke down at a red light. Alternator went. Car was in drive. Couldn't move gear to neutral to push. Had hood up and had a friend coming to jump it. Car rolls up behind me, I'm standing literally by their passenger door waving them around. Light turns green, they lay on their horn for 10 seconds. Mind you, the hood is up, the trunk is open, and I waved them down.

  • bboru2000 Don't sweat it. This is the perfect petty. No one got hurt. She was being a j, acting like you were inconveniencing her when you were trying to do the opposite. So, you left her truly inconvenienced.

  • siero20 One day I came across a limb going across a two lane road. Not too big, was rotten and shattered when it fell so super manageable pieces. As I'm approaching I see a police officer do a u- turn to go to another road to get around. Same with two other cars going the other direction.

  • As soon as I put my car in park and just start moving things about 4 other people stop and get out and start helping. I did find it hilarious so many people opted for a 10 minute detour opposed to 2 minutes of moving wood by hand. But all it took was one person getting out for everyone to snap back and realize hey we can just move this thing.

  • MaraSchraag I love everything about this and fully approve. Well done! All you did was inconvenience her in the same way you were with her judgment looming over you. No harm done, in the long run. And maybe she'll take five seconds to self reflect and become a better person. Who am kidding? She's gonna be telling this story as if she were the victim.
