Bad Drivers No More
Sorry for the lack of updates, but a combination of rapid fire 21st birthdays, my birthday, which was celebrated on four different days for some reason, white water rafting in West Virginia, a full time job and being on painkillers from injuries has left me with little time to write updates. But I'm trying.
Anyway, I keep a dry erase board in my car so I can write people messages in traffic. Why do I do this? Because fuck it, why not.
I started out using it to write to girls in distant cars, because blowing kisses works when they are driving fast, but in stand still traffic, a board with a personal message works way better at getting a reaction. The thing is, my board hasn't been used to get traffic sex in awhile, now it's used to slur bad drivers.
The phrase "You're a terrible driver" has been on the board for awhile. I flash it up at people who cut me off, people who run stop signs, people who run red lights, or people who accelerate to show off that they have a loud muffler, which is the dumbest fucking thing in the world. Yeah, let's bring more attention to ourselves and get pulled over more often. The amount of garbage tards I drive past in one day amazes me.
I don't quick flash the board either. I hold it up until you notice. Then when you notice, I try to get behind you and hold it up until you acknowledge that I'm there. Then when you know I'm there and I'm calling you out, I will still hold it up just so you get the message. I will hold the sign up until one of us has to depart a separate way.
Because I have kind of a god complex, you can give me the finger and scream at me, and I'll still hold the board up. You can threaten to get out your car and fight me, which doesn't bother me, because you're still a terrible driver. Plus, you getting out of your car in traffic increases your chances of being hit by another car, then I could write on my sign "You're a very stupid individual" while you were laying on the pavement.
Awhile back I was driving my mom around and someone texting on their phone cut us off, and I told her to scribble "quit texting on your phone dick," which she did, and I held it up, which caused her to start laughing hysterically. If my Mom approves of the idea of publicly humiliating bad drivers, I know I must be doing something right, because she doesn't really approve of my antics in general.
I am encouraging you all to get dry erase boards and keep them in your cars, because if we keep calling out people who suck at driving, maybe they'll man up and pay attention.

Quality. I actually keep a square of cardboard with my phone number on one side and my best friends on the other for that traffic sex.
For the perfect gangbang opportunity? Or because your buddy has lower standards so you use his side for the ugly chicks?
I'm not sure what I would do if I was sitting in traffic and saw a gangbang happening in the car next to me.
you should get a set of 'road rage' cards. they are hysterical and often really rude. gets great reactions, if you're quick enough to drive away from the guy with the pistol in his hand. www.roadragecards.com
Uhhh, fuck yeah. That's one of the best ideas I've heard in a long, long time and I'm going to get one.
ARE YOU SHITTING ME?! I SERIOUSLYYYYY THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE THAT DID THIS!!!!!! I'm in love. lol
just had my 21st, 2nd time commenting. i've been looking for a way to better signal the good vs. bad drivers on the road. so far i've got tapping my nose twice and pointing at the well-executed maneuver for the good drivers, screaming multi-lingual curses at the not-so-good drivers. not the best technique in the world.
This is one of the best ideas I have heard of in a long time as well, and the article seriously cracked me up.
I still have trouble with the cruel irony that technically you are still texting in traffic though. :-P
I've been looking for a useful way to use the dry erase board my mom insisted on giving me. Now i know.
I just came across a product that I think is an AMAZING substitute for the dry erase board in the car, It's called GloDoodle. Now you can tell other drivers whatever you want day OR night and in the color that fits the mood.
Red/Angry, "Fuck you!"
Yellow/mildly ticked, "You're an idiot!"
Green/general communication, "Hey you're hot!"
