Niceholes

[BmillsSkier]

It would appear you are part of the problem.

Maybe I'm missing your point. By not honking? See post #8 for the answer to that.

I don't see niceholes doing what knumbskull described just that people don't block parking lot entrances, intersections, or driveways when there's no where to go to begin with, hence the massive amount of breaks given.

OP, why must you enable HC's Seattle hating?

So we can have you chime in with the passive agressive Seattle is special and awesome?

[GeezerSteve]

Special, yes. Awesome, no.

I dunno, I grew up in the ATL and drove like a total asshole for years. I've chilled out some since, but am still not afraid of using the horn.

People in the south are experts at insulting you with complements. My aunt can tear you a new one with a smile on her face. You won't even know it till you are driving home and you are like "wait a minute, I can't believe that bitch said that to me.".

Same here with my family in FL. You hear them politely talking to someone and xmplimenting each other, then they walk away and start swearing about what a bitch she is.

Yep, that is fairly common here too. Being nice when you are driving is letting a car in (either from a side street when you're stopped, or into your lane when there are 2 lanes). Being nice when what you are doing is blatantly contrary to the rules of the road, such that nobody expects you to do that, just causes problems. Nicehole.

^^This.

Learn the rules of the road and follow them, niceholes. If everyone plays by the same rules, we all get where we're going as efficiently as possible.

I often refuse to move when the other driver has the right of way at an intersection but is waving me through. Nope, not gonna do it for two reasons. First is to make a point - you need to go if you have the right of way, so just go and don't try to be "nice." Truly being nice would be following the damned rules. Second reason is that it's not an uncommon scam for someone to wave the other person through then run into them on purpose and claim the other person didn't yield. I'm not setting myself up for that bullshit.

So you are a passive-agressive nicehole to niceholes.

That helps.

When I'm in Nova Scotia, I can get thru traffic like a knife thru buttah. Being a Masshole where only Nice holes exist has its advantages.

My grandmother could pull off Boston lefts with room to spare. Don't even get me goin on what pedestrians get away with.

I've gotten some dirty looks from the Niceholes after I refuse to move

How dare you refuse my gesture? I mean, I'm such a good person that I let you go before me even when it was my turn. Now you've deprived me the ability to pat myself on the back and think about how if everyone was like me this world would be a better place. Jerk!

Jesus. It's fucking driving, not a moral crusade. Stop being an asshole and turn. You guys are as dumb as the niceholes.

[strawjack]

i'm the asshole nicehole when driving in boston. i will blatantly cut everyone off by merging last minute and then wave and throw my hands up like i'm lost and don't know where i'm going.

fucking massholes deserve it considering the way those fucks drive up my way.

In all honesty I usually go ahead, but sometimes it's not safe to do so and the nicehole doesn't see it. This is when they usually go ballistic. Funny how quickly "niceness" can turn into road rage.

Right? Like when a nicehole headed the other way is stopped and waving at you to turn left in front of them but people are passing them on their right. The idiots just keep waving at you, holding up their lane.

Ha, ha... I swear, it's the NH drivers who piss me off the most. Always cutting in, not yielding at the rotary or not letting anyone merge onto the highway. I figure it's because they have a longer commute and/or a semi-fear of appearing too country, so they over compensate.

I tend to err more on the nicehole side, but am tired by the lack of thanks... especially from BMW drivers. (Sorry MMP and Crank, but it's true.)

[Danno]

I ran into 2 niceholes yesterday when I was on my bike. Had a stop sign, and was crossing a street that had no stop sign. I was clearly a "vehicle" in the middle of my lane and on my bike, and not looking a pedestrian near the crosswalk. 2 people stopped when they had the complete right of way, no signal or sign, to wave me across. The first I waved through, the second, some 10 seconds later, almost got rear-ended when they stopped, and finally I just grit my teeth and crossed.

[smitchell333]

How about the guy getting on the highway who instead of using the acceleration lane to the point of merge he crosses the solid white line and insists on merging as soon as possible, causing cars behind to stop to give way to his merge. Instead of 'cutting' into line he causes a traffic jam.

[GimpToo]

This seems like a good time to ask this . . . if you arrive fourth at a four-way stop, and the guy across from you is the first and going straight . . . do you go along with him if you're going straight, or wait your turn?

Either go shortly after he does, or wait your turn. Don't go as he's 90% through the intersection.

I do this sometimes but you better watch out for no-blinker left turn guy.

ha BD! That's the masshole transplants that moved to NH and still work down there! I only go down there to hit fenway or the garden!

Seriously though, you are correct. NH drivers are complete jerks.

Am I the only one that actually yields when merging onto the highway? When the hell did the Yield sign become the highway drivers sign? Of course if you're on the highway and you can move over for someone coming on then do it...but if you cannot why is it your issue to hit the brakes for the guy not yielding. Maybe for flow of traffic in busy city areas the signs should be changed. Just up here if you just take it easy and yield you can merge in pretty quick.

[systemoverblow'd]

I hate when walking in the city someone stays at a green light and waves me across the road. Don't worry nicehole, I'll get across just fine without your assistance. I don't need you causing a traffic clusterfuck because you want to be the nice person and let me cross. You do you, and I'll do me.

However It can be taken to the other extreme of practically coming to a stop at the end of the ramp rather than merging into traffic at the speed at which it is moving.

And the niceholes that let you in are the worst. If no one let these idiots in at the last second they'd quit trying to pull that maneuver. Probably the greatest thing in the world is when a semi will move over and block the lane when these people try to do the end-around move.
