mean driving 101

I know, I know. I have my mean streaks. And for some reason, it attempted to manifest itself twice today, both times during driving. First was when Lou was following a jeep which stopped in the middle of the road (apparently to attempt to pick up passengers who unfortunately did not plan to ride). So for all intents and purposes, it was just blocking the road. My suggestion was simple, cut in front of the jeep and then slow down, really slow down. You can even stop in the middle of the road, press the hazard button and pretend to talk to someone on you phone. When the jeep attempts to overtake, put down the phone and speed away. For greater effect, pick up your phone again, press hazard and stop *again* in front of the jeepney. Once it is attempting to overtake, speed away and laugh your ass off. That was mean streak number one.

Mean streak tip number two, this one only works at night. *Same trip* Lou was following a student driver which was going like 10 km/h on North Ave. She couldn't shift lanes so it was extremely frustrating. She honked her horn several times and I asked her to stop. I said, "instead of honking on the poor student driver, just stay behind him and put your lights on bright." I use this one when someone cuts me. I tail them til we unfortunately have to part ways, all the time my lights on bright, hopefully at the very least irritating (and blinding) the driver that cut me.

There! You have two of my favorite ways of venting driving frustration. Additional tips are very welcome.
