things that tick you off [not traffic edition]

[Insert Name Here²]

You're driving in the right lane (like your supposed to) and come across a slow truck. You can't see around the truck because it's so big. You check over your shoulder to see if anyone is coming up behind you because anyone in the lane should be driving faster than you at this moment. No one is there so you add some gas and pull out before blasting someone's bumper because you weren't expecting someone there.

Pulling out on the loving shoulder is handicapped when trying to pass someone. In this scenario it would've been the car driver's shoulder for being impatient and driving wrecklessly, distracting himself from a car on the shoulder he should've saw when checking if it were empty.

still very unclear who is being hit. if nobody was there, what are you hitting? a ghost?

All laws in science are only theory until proven wrong.
While they're supported by very, very strong evidence, and said theories usually produce very accurate if not perfect results. There's always a possibility of being wrong.
Especially the law of gravity.

Laws are mathematical models (if x, then always y). Gravity is one of these because it can be modeled mathematically.

Theories are verbal models (when this happens, this almost always happens). Heliocentrism is one of these because it provides an explanation that holds up to observations (the earth goes around the sun and nothing save actually physically changing that will make it untrue)

Hypotheses are untested models (I think that when this happens, this will probably happen). Some of these will forever remain hypotheses, particularly in mathematics, if they cannot be proven or tested, such as "there are infinite prime numbers".

Sorry for the off-topicness, I just thought this needed to be said.
On topic:

You can't see around the truck because it's so big.

Why would you get that close to the truck? Unless it's immobile bumper to bumper traffic, there should be room to switch lanes and pass.

Edit: oh right, thread title. Top part seems more on-topic, since I guess that's a thing that ticks me off.

it is not surprising that you have anger management issues

Stay upset, child.

I have zero tolerance for cluelessness. That includes braindead drivers ruining the flow of traffic.
I also would never rear end or put another driver in danger. I pull up on them quick then back off. Kind of as a "hey, get the forget out of the way."

Driving up on their ass and trying to run them off 2 whole lanes sure does scream that you don't want to put them or you in danger, gotcha

nobody plans to rear end another car

saying it doesn't make it true

You know what, you're right. I used "proven" for brevity, when it would be more accurately worded as "widely accepted by the scientific community." This would include both laws and theories, as Magus said.

I think you knew what I meant, though.

On the topic of things that tick me off, when my post is completely ignored even if I spend 10-20 minutes writing it.

Sure it does when you know how not to be oblivious on the road.

the law has zero tolerance for you
what you're doing is considered aggressive driving

literally everyone who drives like you and causes an accident feels the same way you do. but ok. ur a great driver, raven

Road rage / agressive driving is actually you being oblivious to how much your actions can cause. By tailgating and shoving them off lanes, you can cause a major wreck all because you were impatient

nobody plans to rear end another car

i plan to rear end ur bumper bb
