First of all, not only did you have a red arrow. You also had a “Do not turn on red” sign. Now I understand that you might think its ok to turn on the red. That is if it safe to do so. How did you miss the sign right under it that says no turn on red? Or the larger sign on the post , with bright red, BOLD letters that say “NO Turn On Red” Well either way you did miss all the signs, and you went ahead and took that turn. In doing so you cut me off, now when I say you cut me off I mean I had to slam on my brakes. If my reactions were poor, we would have collided, thankfully I was on point, and we didn’t. After narrowly avoiding an accident you almost caused, all I did was toot my horn twice. I had a great day at work, and was feeling thankful, and happy.

I did not lay on my horn, I did not shout profanities. And yet you have the audacity to roll your window down and flip me off!

As much as I want to say May you rot in hell, or may your car break down, or any number of negative “may you’s”...I wont, instead...

I will take a little comfort in knowing that the light you ran, took a picture of you and your license plate. You should be receiving a ticket in the mail.

Dear Universe,

Thank you for taking care of me

Dear scion owners,

Please wave at me, not enough of us wave or acknowledge one another.
axiom8888,

That sucks for you. I want someone to do that to me, so I can do what I do to other incompetent drivers. Follow them, annoy them, then confront them in person. I like drivers who don't know that they messed up, because I like to point it back out to them and tell them to go back to that spot and that I would go with them also to clarify the "mix up."


Dear Uninsured Driver,

Please hit my car so I can take your money away from you. :D


Love,
Leslie

Dear Leslie,

Please be very careful who you follow and "confront." There are a whole lot of people out there who would take serious offense at that, and we don't want to hear about you as "Breaking News"...

Tomas,

I'm always careful. But I'm one dangerous women,... with a tennis racket. I've only had to confront one person once, and I told him that I would go back to that spot with him to show him that he messed up, but he chickened out. I am mostly a calm person and will only speak out if they do something to me first; such as honking at me when I didn't cut them off, and them being stupid, didn't realize that their lane turned farther and they went into my lane; directly behind me.

Dear silverstreaktc,

Doesn't it count that I was talking about an incident that occurred in my Scion?

Dear Leslie,

Please note that most uninsured/underinsured drivers have no money and therefore it would be hard for you to see any of it after an accident. Instead the only fall-back you'll have to recovering damages will be your own un/underinsured motorist coverage. That, alone, will take a while to challenge & fight. Trust me...been there, done that, and spent 2+ years to get the t-shirt. When the person who hits you doesn't pay for reasonable and law-abiding things like car insurance, they are very unlikely to: own property, have any savings, have a steady job, or to have anything to put a lien on in any situation.

I would hope that you'd wish instead for the Really Insured Driver to hit you instead. That way you'd have an easier time cleaning up after the accident.

Dear Mr. Delivery Customer who had too many beers:

I am very sorry that the Seahawks lost earlier in the day and that you felt compelled to drink up all your beer before realizing you didn't have any dinner in the house. Apparently, there were many other people who also needed food (pizza being the only delivery service around here) and they must have realized it before you did. You must have been the kid who cut in line at the lunchroom because you certainly didn't understand when we told you that there were many others in front of you in this line and it would take a long time (since we have one delivery car and a million miles to drive). And when you called back and started cussing with every vile cuss word you could think up, did you really think this would help get your order sooner? Did you think after you called to cuss at us that we would even still be making your order "just in case you get nice suddenly" and not throw away your order ticket? So why would you call us back up and cuss some more because your pizza was not in the oven 5 minutes after the first tirade? (I only hope you didn't start driving around in search of dinner!!!)

So, Mr. Customer with too many beers, I hope you don't starve to death next time you find it hard to find anyone to bring food to your door. We might not remember your name, but we have your address.....

Sincerely, Annie

Dear Annie

May the rest of your customers be nicer, and tip well

Dear Leslie,

Would be better to wish for an OVERinsured driver, who always carries a ton of cash on them, and likes to settle without insurance involvement. :D

Dear Service customers,

As you pull into the service drive, please take note. There are three lanes, and each one is clearly marked with a bright yellow line. Also at the end of each lane there is a huge “stop” printed. Use these lines as a guide, kindly pull your vehicle in between the lines, and pull all the way up to the stop sign. Contrary to what you may believe, when you stop in the middle of the lines (taking up two lanes), and you don’t pull all the way to the front, this does not help me or my staff. To be truthful it doesn’t help you get in the door any quicker, it only slows you, and us down. Please do not park in the No parking zone, it is a fire hazard, and blocks all through traffic. When you leave, please take note which direction your vehicle is facing, and simply follow the large yellow arrows, and exit signs. These arrows, and exit signs will lead you out of the dealership. Please DO NOT attempt to turn your car around in the drive, and exit through the entrance. Exiting through the entrance is not only difficult, but is unsafe for you, and the customers trying to enter.

Thank you

Okay, new letter.


Dear Driver of the new silver Altima on 405 South,

I wish you could've cut me off closer so you would've hit me,... I'm sure YOU had insurance. You are lucky that you chose the to go into the right lane early, since I was in a rush to go home. I should've just followed you though, entertain myself.

Dear people not from the PNW posting in this thread,

Please be mindful that this thread is open for you to post, but if you do not have something to say that goes w/ the thread aka not productive to the topic, please don't post. We have bad weather which makes people cranky here, more so than other places. We need to complain, it releases the pressure so we don't kill each other, well any more than we already do. So please I ask you, before you grace us with you opinion telling us to stop complaining and suck it up, please do not, and save it for the off topic area or no where at all! After all a great judge of character isn't nessecarily what you say but what you don't say!

Sincerly

Dear Fed Ex,

While it doesn't seem to be anywhere in the news I know what you did!!!!

Erik and I drove down to Vancouver on Saturday to see his family and some of his buddies down there and decided to drive back the same day. We left Joes Crab Shack in Vancouver at about 9pm, said our goodbyes to his parents and buddies and started the treck home to pick up the dog from grandma and grandpas (my parents). We are making GREAT time, get to Ft. Lewis a little before 11ish when, no joke, five cars in front of us a fed ex semi has the rear axle BREAK OFF and the back end of the truck decide to do their own thing, the container then falls off, car flips over, the cab of the truck with the remaining parts still attached loses control and crashes through the barrier and causes accidents while blocking all lanes save for one on south 5, all lanes on north 5 are blocked, including the shoulder. The response was AMAZINGLY quick, by the time I could grasp what had happened and get myself into motion to get out and see what I can do to help (first responder certified and all that good stuff) Ft. Lewis aid cars and fire trucks are rolling up coming north on south 5 since nobody is getting through that way anyway.

Erik and I sat on the freeway surrounded by flashing lights for about an hour and a half ish before they cleared a lane for us to pass, half shoulder half actual lane, driving through it looked like something out of a big action movie. Amazingly (and thankfully) there where no fatalaties. woooo.

Hope nobody is expecting anything from fed ex

So thank you Fed Ex for giving Erik and I time to talk to random strangers also stuck in traffic and be insanely late for picking up my dog as we finally got home around one am. And I'm sure the person that container fell on to is really excited about turning what is now only a trunk from a car into a new ferrari.

Sincerely,
Alexandra

You were lucky to have gotten through that mess in only an hour and a half on Saturday...

dear lady in the albertson self check outline.

if you would please next time stay off your phone during the check out of the items that are going to buy. you might not ____ off people and get dirty looks from some of them who were pateint for the first 3 minutes but got even more ____ed off that the other 3 self checkers were down at that time. now had you even bothered to look around you would have noticed that you were holding up about 7 people as the other lines for the check stands were full. no i am a very patient person and do not get upset at little stuff like this. but i about came unglued when you pulled out a pen and paper and wrote down a address phone number and name of something i didn't see till later. now what set the girl off in front of me was the fact that you somehow messed up the machine to where you had to rescan everything. glad the person who worked in this section was fast and knew the systens well as the people who were behind me had frozen food and i believe by this time was melting..

by the way next time you leave do as the computer tells you and check you basket and you area for items. if you read this the number and address you wrote down for lovers package was left behind with the model number of the jackrabbit toy. i hope you were able to buy that as you also left you debit card behind as well.
