    Just beware.

    I got rear ended last spring.

    While stopped.

    At a red light.

    This entirely not my fault incident, paid for entirely by the other party’s insurance, was rewarded with a thirty percent increase in insurance premiums come renewal time.

    You

    Can

    Not

    Win

    Yeah not my proudest moments but whenever a douchenozzle zooms up behind me as I’m just getting around someone in the fast lane and I flip my blinker on to move back into the slow lane and I see the asshat darting into the slow lane to go around me I just keep moving over.

      That’s the right thing to do though. You’re indicating switching lanes, finished passing, and they’re in the fast lane. I just assume they need to pull off at the next exit and ignore it.

    I drove a 14 year old Hyundai and I would drive aggressively because I could play the game of “who cares more about their car”, I would never lose.

          I didn’t, I know it’s a word in British English, I just wanted to say it’s rare and I haven’t seen anyone say it on the internet

          Also yeah, I’m not a native language speaker

          (And what do you mean by the nazi part? Why would you call anyone a nazi over something like a word?)

            Grammar Nazi is an english term that means someone who is very strict about using correct words and punctuation.

            It is meant to be humorous. It does not mean they are a Nazi.

              Ah sorry then, I didn’t quite get that (as said I’m not a native), just wanted to point out a fun coincidence since we learnt that word a few months back in English class

              Thanks for telling me

          A true grammar Nazi would obviously know that it is a proper contraction. No true Scotsman and all that ;P
