Has anyone else driven down a street that is basically two-way, but curbside parking restricts flow temporarily to one-way? That is the subject of tonights rant. After breaking up snowpack on my driveway this afternoon I decided to take the car for a little spin to shake off what I'd gone all lazy about getting with the broom. Anyway, after getting about .002 on the odometer I noticed a vehicle headed north on my street, and using the differential calculus eyeset I was born with determined they were moving. As there were cars on both sides of the street I decided to pull aside and let them pass, as even with a hearty flogging of the accelerator I's only managaed to fishtail back and forth up to a speed of about 15. It took a FULL minute for this idiot to realise I was giving right-of-way, and after that the stupid fucker turned toward me and put on turn-signal, so I had to gun the mustang through an opening with 8 inches on either side of me or we'd have been stuck there all night.

So you were blocking his way. Yet he's the bad driver?

Blocking his way? Where do you get that? Don't you know that the few posters here I've met in person will swear up and down I'm the best wheelman in the business?

I guess I didn't explain fully. Road ettiquette around here says if one person pulls behind a car, you should come on around, not just sit there and gun it when person A pulls from behind exhibit one.
