My Personal Vendetta Against BMW Drivers

I have always hated BMW drivers. Its just something about how arrogant they are, or how they think they own the roads around here. Now, I'm not being presumptuous because I don't just judge them by the way they drive - personal interactions have also been added into account as well.

The "stereotypical" BMW driver is a 20-40 something year old guy who is usually a business exec or something special like that. He thinks that because he paid $60,000 for his vehicle he has all the right to weave in and out of traffic, cut in front of others, and basically disregard all common-sense rules of the road. Now, granted, not all BMW are of the stereotypical variety, but they all tend to drive like jerks nonetheless.

I had an experience with one such driver last night, and not only did he cut in front of me while making an illegal lane change, he then decided to egg me on by laughing while stuck side-by-side at the very next red light. I decided to be *tactful* and just wave at him, leaving him with a message of "Thank you very much, jerk." He decided that he wanted to have more fun with me and continued to laugh and stare directly at me, trying to engage me into retaliation.

At this point, typically I would have flipped him the finger and felt justified, but I decided to take it a step further since he wanted to play that kind of game. As the traffic signal changed from red to green, I drove off of the line smoothly and he revved his engine to show how masculine he was. I then made a gesture with my thumb and pointer finger about an inch away from each other and waved it in my passenger window so he could get a good view. I mouthed the words, "This big," to him, and at first he didn't understand what I was saying, but after a minute he did and the look on his face was very surprised. "Your d***," I mouthed and pointed to my crotch, "is this big," while using the hand gesture. Yes, I have balls. If you want to play games on the road with me, I will play back. Oh, by the way, I was already in a combative mood so you know I was ready to go.

He didn't seem to happy with me after that, and he decided to become even MORE of an aggressive driver. He drove at the same speed that I did and waved his iPhone in the window [I don't understand the purpose of this] and made a crude gesture at me in regards to what I put in my mouth. That didn't bother me one bit, and from that point on I chose to ignore him. He weaved in and out of traffic to tail me, and tried to do anything in his power for me to engage him further in his little game. He honked his horn to get my attention, but I just sang quietly and drank my coffee as I drove to my destination. I was satisfied that I got my point across.

So, my dear BMW drivers, this is to you: I am waging war against you. If you want to drive like an ass, I will NOT give the finger, because that just doesn't say enough. I will, however, let you know in my own way that I think your driving is unacceptable and that you are an ass. I do not appreciate the way that you drive, thinking that you are all that just because you own a too-expensive, self-important jerk-mobile.








Note to my readers:I'm not saying that ALL BMW owners are rude drivers, because I have encountered BMW drivers who are very courteous. That, in my opinion, is the minority of the BMW drivers. I also know that some readers will say that all drivers are jerks, they just happen to drive BMW's, and to that my response is simply this - this is my point of view. You have every right to disagree. Thank you.
