Default i'm a jerk and i don't care

i stopped to get fuel and as im sitting on the bike a jackass in a big white chevy pickup decides he's going to sqeeze between me and the car fueling to my right. he rolled through at a nice speed and missed hitting me by inches. he startled me and i jumped up high enough that i coulda stood on the seat.

as i completed my fueling i watched this jack-hole pull into a fuel-bay and fill up. i got everything buttoned up and ready to roll but just sat there, waiting for a chance to be mean.

dildohead gets the squeegee out of the bucket and goes to work on his windshield. perfect. when he finishes the drivers side i fire up my engine.

he came around to the passengers side to wash the window and i ROARED through the the fuel bay, so close to him that he had to hug the truck to avoid catching a handlebar across his gut.

i don't know what makes people think they can squeeze past bikes. kinda odd behavior when you consider how folks respond to us when we lane-split.

i never exchange words once the adrenaline is flowing. if you want me to be reasonable use reasonable caution around me.

That reminds me of the idiot that stopped about a foot behind me today at a traffic light. When I turn my head to the left to yell out at him, CAN YOU GET ANY CLOSER BUD. Then the idiot said I'm 3 foot behind you buddie. I yelled back at him and said if you can't see my tail light then you are too close, the next light he stopped much further behind me. Some times you just have to let people know that you'll not going to put up with their stupid moves.

My way of thinking is that the retard did this once and after your trying to rip off his belly button he will think twice before trying it agin to someone else! I have been in a similar situation when this pickerhead hauling conduit in the back of his pickup turned around in a parkinglot and nearly smacked me in my head....He probably still remembers me opening his door for him while he was parking!
