  • To pull your car out in front of a line of traffic that is 100ft from the intersection is just self importance and is the epitome of idiocy.

Little miss self important almost had a pile up on her bumper.  Driving is not a right it is a privilege.  Dad needs to take the keys away from his little girl.

  • I'm sorry I was going the speed limit on Gemini Road. I didn't know it would inconvenience you so much. Thank goodness you have an expensive performance/luxury car though so you could speed past me very quickly. Apparently you were in a hurry. SLOW DOWN! It's 35 through there not 50!

  • Was driving on my way to work when this car randomly and suddenly stopped in front of me. They stayed stopped and then decided to creep for a while. Finally they turned left (took about 2 min. to go about 200 feet). If you don't know where you're going, pull off immediately. I had no idea what you were doing and you're lucky there wasn't someone behind me tailgating me. It could have been a lot trickier of a situation.

  • Hello work van # 105976, you tailgated me about 1/4 the way to work this morning. I really appreciated it. Then as soon as we pulled onto Cleveland Avenue you decided to speed around me and cut in front of people to get on 270 westbound. I think your driving is fantastic! I wish I could drive like you. Perhaps I'd be dead tomorrow.

  • Just because the stop sign you blatantly ran was on mall property doesn't mean that you have the right to run it. I've seen accidents and near accidents in this entrance to Polaris because people are dumb and think that "it's private property so I don't have to stop." Next time you may not be so lucky. Learn to drive.

  • This truck was in a hurry. I watched them for a while after getting on 71 on my way to Polaris. They changed lanes in the exit only to quickly change back behind another car and tailgated that car for the rest of the exit. No signal for the lane changes either. Tailgating/speeding/etc will not get you there faster, it just makes you more dangerous to other drivers. Play it safe next time and pay attention.

80+mph in a construction zone, shooting the gap, and nearly causing multiple accidents.  He was traveling north on I271 through Mayfield Village up to I90
All this happened with the passive wife NOT saying anything.
She should say something. Someone should.
Slow down, a-hole

    Cooper Road, Columbus   Friday, August 20, 2010

    So I have to vent. This road pisses me off. No. The road is quite fun and fantastic, one of the few curvy and not overly developed roads in Columbus. It's the people that drive on it that drive me crazy. For instance, the other night I was happily headed home after a long day at work. I ended up behind this SUV going 30mph (the speed limit is 40 on most of the road). Not only was he going 10 under, he slowed down to 20-25 for the curves which can easily be taken by my dad's 4x4 truck at 40 mph, so that SUV shouldn't have ANY problem. I got really frustrated, I admit, but I just wanted to get home as quickly and safely as possible. I ended up having three cars tailgating me from behind because of this douchebag. What's sad is this happens all the freakin time. If you can't drive on a curvy road...DON'T DRIVE ON COOPER! End of story.

    To the driver of the oversized red pickup at Polaris:   Sunday, December 13, 2009

     1.  You don't get to cut in line.  I had waited for 3 whole lights in the left turn lane, and you come up in the right turn lane and try to cut me off.  Nope, I don't think so.

    2.  If you're turning left, you need to be in the left turn lane.  I don't care if the line is 50 cars long.  I had to wait, so do you.

    3.  When you try to cut somebody off and it is clear that they aren't going to let you, you do NOT get to try to "force" your way in anyway.  This is known as "vehicular assault", and is illegal.

    4.  Just because your turn signal is on, does not mean I am obligated to let you in.  You especially don't get to be rude and aggressive about it, when you are the one who is trying to cut in.  You're expecting other drivers to be "courteous" enough to let you in when you are a rude arrogant bastard?  Nope, I don't think so.

    5.  Just because your vehicle is bigger than mine, does not mean you get to try to force me off the road.  I am not intimidated by your oversized vehicle that is clearly compensating for some other shortcoming.  Go ahead, hit me.  I'll let your insurance company make me rich while you rot in jail.

    6.  Just because somebody doesn't let you cut them off, does not mean you get to cuss them out after the fact.  YOU were in the wrong for trying to cut me off, so F YOU.  Sorry I wasn't the pushover you expected me to be.

    7.  After the fact, at a red light, you yelled something out your window about "we're here at the same time, was it worth it?"  I don't care, it's not a race.  That's not the point, the point wasn't for me to "beat" you to the next light.  The point was, I was in the correct lane, you were not.  You tried to forcefully cut me off, and I didn't let you.  YOU are the A hole, not me.  It's not an issue of timeliness, it's an issue of principle.  You tried to cut in line, I didn't let you.  You lose.  You were in the wrong, get over it. 

    8.  You're lucky I didn't follow you.  I had half a mind to do so.  Fortunately for you, my wife wouldn't let me.  Next time you might not be so lucky, my wife might not be with me. 

    9.  Think twice before trying to cut somebody off.  Next time you should pick a less aggressive target, like a little old lady driving a Buick.  Sometimes I am courteous, to other courteous drivers.  You were rude, I was not obligated to be courteous to you.  Besides, I had already fulfilled my 'niceness' quota for the day with other less rude drivers.  By the time your arrogant arse came around, I had already run out of patience and courtesy, and your rudeness made me question why I had even bothered to be courteous to anyone else in the first place.  If I thought for one second that the drivers I was "letting in" were anything like you, I would never let anybody cut in front of me again.

    10.  You're a rude jackass and a bad driver.  I hope you flip that oversized junker and roll it over 17 times, rendering you unable to ever drive again.  It would be fitting. 

    Don't F with me.  Just because I drive a smaller car, does not mean I'm a passive driver or that I'm intimidated by people like you.  I'm very aggressive and potentially violent, especially when somebody thinks they can bully me.  I'm usually armed, and I'm not afraid to follow people to their destinations if need be.  You got lucky this time.  Don't push it.

      I have three tips for you, HSA 5. Look before you change lanes, don't change lanes in an intersection, and use your turn signal when you want to change lanes. And one more thing, show some consideration for other people.

    Crazy old man   Tuesday, May 19, 2009

    Today after picking up a few items at walmart I did not return my cart to the cart area, which I always do.  I even felt guilty for not returning the cart, but I had been doing a lot of yard work and am sore and not exactly a spring chicken, but not yet 50.  A crazy old man cussed me out and tried to punch me in the face all because I didn't return my cart.  I thought he was the walmart greeter on break until his wife got in the car next to mine.  The nut case pulled back to his fist to hit me in the face.  Sooooo, if you are at the Lewis Center, Ohio Walmart make sure to return your shopping cart if you see a newer white pontiac or buick SUV with OH license plate number EAS9524!!!!

    Inappropriate Driver EKL 2838   Tuesday, March 31, 2009

    At 2:25pm on Tuesday March 31st my children and I were attempting to go forward (straight) at a green light. A young driver coming in the opposite direction turned left in front of us (no turn signal and DEFINATELY DID NOT HAVE THE RIGHT OF WAY).  I held up my hand in a "what are you doing?" gesture and he was flipping the bird and screaming the most intense profanity.  Did I mention we were leaving an elementary school?   His lics plate was EKL 2838 and he was driving an older model multi blue toned van (possibly an econoline).  Very disrespectful and unsafe young driver and road rager (he made the error and then cussed us out!!)  I hope his parents read this and take away his driving privledges until he can follow road rules and control his foul mouth.

    Put down the newspaper   Monday, September 22, 2008

    You almost killed me this morning, you plaid-wearing S.O.B. It's bad enough that you have to read the paper while you drive through a crowded intersection, but then you nearly merged into my lane right on top of me. Next time I'll kick off one of your mirrors. Trust me, it wouldn't be the first time.

    Crazy idiotic driver!   Monday, July 21, 2008

    This is not the first time I have encountered this driver, but today I have had ENOUGH!!!!

    If you are in Columbus, OH, most specifically on the West side, please look out for an older Blazer-looking vehicle with the license plate number DVP 4021. This woman is CRAZY!

    Coming out of the Giant Eagle parking lot on W Broad St, she starts out in the right-turn lane and then goes into the left-turn lane with no signal and no warning. Mind you, I was sitting in the left-turn lane, moving up toward the white line. She decides to cut me off, then I beeped my horn at her, and she has the audacity to lean her head out of her window and yell expletives at ME. She turns, I turn after her, then as I am moving into the right-turn lane to turn on to W Broad St, she cuts me off AGAIN. I had to swerve to avoid hitting her, because I don't want to cause an accident unlike someone else on the road. So I have to alter my driving route because of a woman who doesn't know how to drive. 

    I wonder sometimes if people got their licenses from a Cracker Jack box. Columbus, OH is full of crazy, idiotic, and ignorant drivers and something HAS TO CHANGE!!!
