“i’m sorry man, i just had to”
and it’s always some 90 year old person who got their license back during world war 2 😭
Gotta see if they look as dumb as they drive .
I have a friend who is self aware that he’s a bad driver.
So he always has a “student driver” magnet on his car. It’s been there for 6 years now.
and it’s always either some ancient person who’s glasses prescription needed to be updated two world wars ago or some slack-jawed goober staring at the phone in their laps.
I did this once and almost crashed the car.
It was a smoking hot woman, 20s-30s, full makeup and hair, sparkly dress, driving an early 90s shitbox. All I could think was “there’s a story there, and I’m not sure if I want to know it”
its so interesting how “slow driver” can mean something totally different to an asshole/non-asshole.
both parties assume this post is about them.
Cigarette in mouth, phone in hand, and junk piled in the passenger and rear seats
And they always stare straight ahead oblivious to their awful driving.
Every day! post pandemic driving is weird in LA. Either they are slow af or driving like fast and furious. I of course am in between going 75 in a 65. 😂
people have no idea how to keep right* (except to pass). let law enforcement worry about slowing down speeding drivers. i’d rather watch those folks move in a straight line fully within my line-of-sight than worry about them causing an insane “accident” while changing lanes to avoid slow-moving traffic. the number of folks that don’t understand the concept of passing, maintaining speed, and keeping right* is half the reason we ever have traffic.
* for those in countries with “right-hand” driving roads.
And they always look exactly like what you expect

If you’re turning your head left to look at them it’s 100% validated, take it to the next level and glare.
Well, those biases won’t confirm themselves.
Sometimes someone will start tailgating me and then I realize that I’m going slower than I usually do, but then I don’t want to speed up because it will look like I’m cracking under pressure.
Ok, in my town they are reading their cell. And that scares me.
Shakes head slowly while passing, with a disapproving look on my face.
Not only does it help put a face to the person you’re judging, it also helps assert dominance.

I glance to keep my own personal tally of Old v Phone. Once, I kid you not, it was an old man in a straw hat and suspenders–on his cell phone.
More often than not. I don’t care what they look like. But I do look to see if they’re messing around on their phone.
Usually. They are. I hate it.
Accompanied by “of course” no matter what they look like lmao
It’s crazy…they all look the same=an idiot.
And no matter what they look like I’m gonna say “of course.”
“Yep, and of course it’s a __________”
Woman.
Asian.
Old person.
White trash guy.
Person on their cell phone.
Black person.
Mexican.
Hippie.
Clueless person.
Anything else that confirms your bias that particular day
Actually in my experience I always expect some goofball but end up seeing a completely normal person. It’s got the point where it makes me wonder if I’m the bad driver
I do the opposite.
I’m already going 55 in a 45 and the dumbfuck riding my ass going 65 behind me is trying to pass. The one lane opens up to 2 and when I look over it’s either a woman who is probably 23 or a 40+ year old dude just looking to kill someone on purpose because his life sucks.
People are fucking crazy (stupid)
It’s always always either an old person/couple or Asian.
Shockingly accurate.
Reminds me of a Gillis joke https://youtu.be/wkojFQL-0z4?si=4jc6lPbnC8B-PZon
Yall tell yourselves not to look? I have no such filter.
you ALWAYS have to see if they look as dumb as they drive
“obviously that’s what they look like” I say to myself, having no idea what I mean by that.
always on their damn phone too.
I do it ALL THE TIME!!!!
One time I did that and it was a woman just having a mental breakdown. Just hunched over and scream crying. People behind who couldn’t see were still pissed and honking. I suppose it was just nice of her to keep trying to drive at all, as there was nowhere to pull over.
I don’t look any more.
Old..they look old
I like to drive slow in the right lane
I feel bad. I did that to a slow moving Tesla today. Then the driver appeared to be a nice person who bought a Tesla before we knew Elon was a ***.
I passed a Nissan Sentra going like 10 in a 50 in the fast lane. Is there a minimum speed limit these people can be ticketed with? Felt like this car was more likely to cause an accident than someone going 60 in the 50
I’m almost disappointed the few times it’s just, like, a normal person. When it’s an old person or someone on their phone or a teenager talking with their friends or something it at least makes sense. But when it’s someone in their 30’s in business clothes at 4pm on a Thursday looking alert with both hands on the wheel and no phone in sight I’m just confused how they are driving so poorly. I want things to make sense…
My favorite is when I turn, and it’s a little old lady who is squinting and barely can see over the steering wheel.
