Some people hate boxes. I had two people attempt to cut me off in a matter of 2 minutes. I was leaving a parking garage at a casino because our concert just ended. I made my way to the down ramp, a long one with lots of side entrances for the other 3 floors. I turn onto it, while letting some other guy in front of me, kinda just merged, he would have made it if I didn't want him to go. Then on the next floor down, there's another SUV that just pulled up to the downramp and proceeds without much stopping to line up behind the car that just got in front of me. So I pull up right next to him and nudge him out of the way (bumpers probably12 inches apart, side by side). I had the right of way, but he's furious all the same and gives my sister dirty looks (because I'm watching in front and don't care). He roles down the window and starts yelling, but I had set the music loud enough to set off car alarms (and I mean that literally, at least 5 alarms went off) at that point, probably the reason he was thrown off and ended up behind me. So right after this guy, there's another person on the level below that just pulled up to his stop sign and therefore waiting to pull onto the downramp. He doesn't much stop so I swerve over to the right and get in front of him too.

So this was all a 5 mph battle feild, whole ton of concert people leaving and then the ____ed off casino goers, ____ed off because there's punk kids like myself just leaving a concert. Take that fact, the fact that I'm driving everyone's favorite box, and general impatience, and you get an SUV full of 3 girls and one angry father driving past me a few miles down the road, all with their faces and middle fingers out the window directed at me.

For a while I was just laughing that 2 people will probably loose sleep over me not allowing them to cut me off. But now that time has passed, I'm just bothered that people will go crazy over such stupid crap, deny that they could ever be at fault, and most likely because they didn't like that I go to concerts and drive a box and won't be stepped on.

Wait what? This may be a good few phrases for you. " Don't sweat the small stuff" , " let it go"

Did you ever stop to think they were just wanting someone to be polite and let them out and it just happened to be you there at the time? Maybe it had something to do with your loud music. Some people don't like their cars shaking while they driving. I hardly think anyone would be mad at you just for the car you drive, unless it was a Ferrari, Porsche, or Lamborghini.
