Young lady, you are reckless and arrogant. I am sick of watching you blast up and down our street at high speed, running stop signs and thinking of no one but yourself. There are visitors and locals who walk with their children and dogs at all hours around here. You are a menace that has no regard for anyone's safety.

So, here's to you, oh, brown, shoulder length, curley haired driver of the white SUV with Florida plates that lives off of South Gulf Drive who is reckless and arrogant. The next time you hear someone blowing their horn at you, don't bother smiling and waving back. They probably won't be saying "Hi", they will probably be saying "You just ran that stop sign again!"

Don't hold back, tell us how you really feel. :lol:

I felt the same way one afternoon when a kid came tearing down our dead end and did a 180 in the road. He's real lucky my children and i weren't out there. Driving is NOT a video game! :bang:

Awesome! Wow, I wish we had a message board in this town (GA). There are a few drivers around here that I'd like to send a message to.

As I've posted before, my alternative is having big signs that I flash to drivers who annoy me. BTW I don't do this very often.

NO TURN SIGNAL?
and
GET OFF THE PHONE AND DRIVE!
and
DO YOU OWN THE LEFT LANE?
and
WHAT WAS IT ABOUT THAT RED LIGHT THAT YOU DIDN'T SEE?
and
IF I WANTED YOU ON MY TAIL, I WOULD HAVE INVITED YOU.
and
PLEASE STOP FOR PEDESTRIANS.

Of course, daughter says that someday someone's gonna kill me for this. She says that it shows as much road rage as the offender. She's right. But I still feel better when I call somebody out. :blush:

For the first two, I keep one between my seat and the console, the other I keep between the console and the passenger's seat. The rest are piled behind the passenger seat. If it's safe to grab them and I have time, I use them. Maybe I need colored Post-It tabs?

I can't flip someone off in this town -- I might get reported to the dean.

If it happens around the same time each day, I would recommend complaining to the police and have them witness her driving some morning. If she gets a ticket, I would wager the behavior would change!

On a sorta non related story, I recently confronted a man who had been taking his dog onto our condo's property every morning to take a crap without cleaning it up before returning to his adjacent property. Grrrrrrr... Whats wrong with people?

BR, regarding the 'do you own the left lane' sign: GA has a new law proposed for driving too slow in the left lane. :floor:

You heard it here first! Unless you already heard this~~~~~~~~~

BR, I'm right there with ya. I have little slips of paper printed out that have jfunn's siggy line on them along with a couple of other parking "vents" on them, like.."Parking 101...Between the lines", etc. I do use them--mostly at work and at Wal-Mart

) It makes me feel oh so much better. :lol:

Get a life size doll and throw it in front of her vehicle, she might get the hint.

:funn

D, I admit that I am a violator of 'between the lines!' If I'm going in straight, I can do it, but an angle or haste and forget it! Would you send me some of those pieces of paper, however? I think it'd be fun to distribute! :clap:

If you know a an approximate time that she drives through, or hauls a$$ through. I'd call Walton County's finest, express your concern and see if they might set up a day or two to nab her in the act.
Sometimes a "$afe driving award" may just get her attention and put a hurt on her purse, rather than some innocent driver, pedestrian, etc.

I love the blow up doll idea SWGB. Hahaha!

I actually plan to video her and put the Youtube link on here. I just don't have the time or gumption to wait her out.

my neighbor ignores the stop sign as he races into our community and makes a right turn. he was the first owner in our community and now it is quickly growing and i just find his blatant disregard for safety greatly annoying.

I warn tourists about all of locals on Blue Mt Road who NEVER stop at the stop sign at the Gulf Point walkover.

Sounds like the biatch who has almost run me over several times (as she blows the stop sign) and then glared at me (talking would interrupt the phone call she's on) for having the audacity to be riding a bike on a bike path! :angry:

Why is this person getting away with this? I am glad nothing worse has happened. Can't you get her license number and have the police check up on her. How inconsiderate.
