I take the 92E from 280S exit nearly every day. Just about every day there will be someone behind me in the merge, you know, next to those massive signs that are flashing and saying the lane is going to end, and they will pop out to my left at the last minute as if to play chicken with me or something. I stopped reacting to this and have had even more rage follow me home. It's just funny how someone presents you with an opportunity for a collision, and then when you do not react favorably, they get pissed off and rage you. Must be people with hard lives who don't know how to deal with anger I guess. Would love to meet someone in real life who does this, so I could ask them some questions.
Oh well, time to head to work. Time to merge onto 280N behind a bunch of idiots at ~35mph who will then blast past me @ 85 once they send all the texts they have been working on through the last bit of ruining the drive for everyone.
Yup, this is why I am going to miss my silver Saab wagon but I love my WRX so much. It's funny but even if I am driving nicely, I still get hate because I drive a brightly colored (WRB) car that makes a little noise (Vishnu TBE). I almost got run over by someone driving through the parking lot, I stepped out and saw a Lexus coming at me and could see the top of this person's head as they were in the drivers seat of a moving car doing who-knows-what. Didn't stop at the driveway, just charged out onto the street and took off. I heard that this person complained about me and my driving. I guess obeying the speed limit and stopping at all the signs must really **** people off, when you do it in a brightly colored car. I think I get nearly slammed into and then flipped off by people every single day. Yesterday some lady just sort of inadvertently merged into my lane, I slammed on the brakes and "beeped" at her. Cue her driving next to me with rage face and flipping me off for the next little bit. I don't get it.

I try not to drive the WRX as much since it's my weekend car and my 95 accord is my daily commuter ( 450+ miles a tank ftw ! )

Saw a white WRX/STi hatch on John Daly Blvd. near the 76. You were behind me but passed me as I made the turn. Sounded like you had an exhaust too.

ralston-92-280 gets ridiculous sometimes
That area is terrible and so is all of daly and south city. Luckily I commute with more red necks in the north bay, they know how to go real fast and even turn left it's all good as long as there's no traffic.

It's hard to blame them though. It's frustrating, but - our systems are teaching people that they do not need to know anything about driving in order to operate a vehicle, and that the only thing you will ever get in trouble for is speeding. It shows in the driving here over the last 15 years. It's so depressing.
I really don't understand the random/instant rage though. I mean how does some random lady know I am not going to follow her home and make a hat out of her face?
