Sometimes when I'm behind someone really slow I'll do the formula 1 prerace warmup serpentine. Totally awesome when someone joins in behind me but usually nobody gets it.

Humorous typo.

Gotta get those tires warmed up.

1) Accelarate to 40 in a 30mph zone, then back off and drive at 20 mpg for half a mile
2) Drive in a generally serpentine weave as if drunk
3) Fail to signal a left turn
4) Not take the turn when it was clearly the driver's right of way with plenty of time to make a left turn
5) clearly hold a cell in her left hand/left ear and a sandwich in her right hand, gesturing to the unseen caller with the sandwich
6) drive into the parking lot of the baseball field/grade school through the exit only


So she arrives at the game, and the driver turns out to be my son's friend's aunt. {aside: And she was very cute.... at least a 7.5 - 8.0, about 30 years old, single no kids of her own}

I didn't say anything directly to her. Cute girls make me nervous.

So I went up to her dad {the friend's grandfather, who was there to also watch the game} and told him what a crappy driver his youngest daughter is. He said, "Oh, yeah. I know"

Why did you have to mention that the car was black? Racist.

Please give an example of how you'd do this.

You can't. It's better to light a single candle than to curse the darkness. If there's an opportunity, I try to lightheartedly say things like "hey, um, you know, it's dangerous to walk in the path of moving exercise equipment, because the lifter often can't just stop short without seriously injuring themself."
It helps to be twice the size of the nimrod you're correcting.

MOTHER****. It's the PASSING LANE, not the 'fast lane.' Labeling it as the 'fast lane' is what CAUSES people to hang out there in the first place!

And if you aren't passing while in the passing lane but just hanging out beside the car in the other lane I am within my right to run your dumb a$$ off the road. If you are being passed on the right while you are in the passing lane you deserve to have your license revoked and thrown into the stocks so people can throw rotten fruit at you.

Just say "pshaw." It's a great little word. Give it a try, I don't think you'll be disappointed.

And if the person doesn't hear you say it, just keep saying it, louder and more pronounced each time, until they do.

(Note: won't really work in driving situations though.)

There are actually signs in a lot of places that say slower traffic keep right. It would an inefficient use of space to have that for passing only and dangerous to have people constantly weaving in and out.
