Asswipe !!!!!

In life we all are human and make mistakes. No one is perfect. But the worst part is when the same person makes the same mistakes, sometimes not realising it or just too ignorant to actually notice. It is when you make the same mistake, purposefully or knowingly, that you could be seen to be an asswipe. The word is self explanatory (speaks for itself for those who don't understand the concept). These examples are perfect illustrations of asswipes, some worse than others. If you ever find yourself doing one of these, just think about THE OTHER PERSON/S for a change and what you would feel like if you were in their shoes. Then let's all work on becoming less of an asswipe. We all probably do the following at some time or other. Just keep it to the bare minimum and the world will surely be a better place !! Here are some classic examples. See if you have experienced some or even all of these occurrences, both as the guilty party or as the poor victim. Weigh the pros and cons and improve !!!

************************************************************************************

*** If you stopped at a robot in the right lane of a dual lane road, (the lane where you can either go straight or turn right), and no car is behind you UNTIL you look in your rearview mirror and you see someone (who actually wants to go straight) pull up behind you, the robot truns green and SUDDENLY you WAKE UP and switch on your right indicator to show that you're going to turn right ....... you guessed it ....... you're an asswipe !!!!!!

*** If you are stationary at a robot waiting for the green arrows to allow you to turn off to the left or right, (and yet the green arrows have already been flickering for quite some time while you are simply daydreaming), you hear hooting in the background but ignore it or don't quite know what the fuss is all about, until SUDDENLY you WAKE UP when the arrows are amber, then your's is the ONLY car to go through while everyone else behind you must wait for the next robot change ....... yep, you guessed it ....... you're an asswipe !!!!!!

*** If you're travelling down a road toward a turnoff at quite a speed, and only while turning you then WAKE UP and manage to actually switch your indicator on to show that you are going to turn off (or maybe not at all), so much so that the other vehicles who could have turned off in the meantime (if you had used your indicators), have to then wait even longer for another opportunity to enter the traffic, thanks to your ignorance and selfishness or just plain stupidity ....... yep, you guessed it ....... you're an asswipe !!!!!!

*** You drive at a painstakingly slow speed toward a robot that could change at any moment, blocking all the traffic behind you. When you get near the robot, it actually does change to amber, at which point you suddenly WAKE UP and speed off over the amber/red robot. Your car is the ONLY car to go through while everyone else behind you must wait for the next robot change ....... you guessed it ....... you're an asswipe !!!!!!

*** You wait at a robot (which always takes a long time to change to green), focusing all your attention on the robot waiting for the change of colour to green, and during the the last few seconds you start looking for something in your car or pocket or whatever. At this exact time the robot turns green and only after a short while you WAKE UP and realise it is green and by the time you drive off, only your car and maybe one other car gets through the now red robot, while the rest wait for the next robot change. Then to cap it all, you look in your mirror at the guy behind you who hooted when you were ASLEEP, and speed up to 120 km/h (in a 60km/h zone) within 50 meters, as if this burst of speed will make up for lost time ....... it's simple ......... you're an asswipe !!!!!!

*** You stop at a robot to turn right. There is a barrier line which implies that you must stop BEHIND the line to allow the incoming vehicles enough room to turn into the opposite lane. You stop about a meter over that line, thus making it very awkward for the person turning into your road to actually do just that. And to cap it all, when the person you have wronged looks in your direction you give him one of those f.... you looks !!! ...... yes .... yes...... you're definitely an asswipe !!!!!!

*** You are driving home on the highway in the right lane (still a mystery why everyone clings to the right lane which, in peak hour traffic, is effectively slower than the left lane), and you arrive at your offramp. You don't move across to the left one kilometer or so before your offramp. You wait till you are parallel with the turnoff or almost on the line of the offramp, then you suddenly WAKE UP and slam on the brakes, and veer to the left in front of another car in the left lane and over the yellow chevron and carry on home happily, while a number of other drivers suffer near heart attacks. As for this ......... and because you fail to see the near fatal accidents you could cause each time this happens, especially in the peak traffic ........... you are a definite asswipe !!!!!!

*** You are wanting to enter into the flowing traffic but are impatient. For example you want to turn left. You push in front of an oncoming speeding car, and as you are about to pull away, you put your indicator on to turn off at the very first road. No concern for any traffic whatsoever because you just cannot wait those extra 10 seconds till the oncoming lane is clear, you would rather have one or a few vehicles hastely apply brakes while you simply push in and then stop right in their path to turn off again.... for this you deserve an asswipe star (if there ever was one) ....... but still you are a definite asswipe !!!!!!

*** You enter onto a highway via the onramp which is approximately half a kilometer long. When you enter into the oncoming traffic who are travelling at approx 120 km/h, you actually slow down and then push into the traffic, forcing the vehicle behind you to suddenly slow down, thereby creating a chain reaction much further back in the flowing traffic than you could ever imagine. The idea of the onramp and it's length, is for an entering driver to have ample time to speed up to the approxiamte speed travelled on the highway so you can simply fit into the traffic with no disruptions. But doing it the slow way could cause accidents and puts you in the category of ............ an asswipe !!!!!!

*** You are driving on the highway listening to the radio, smoking a cigarette and at that exact moment your cell phone rings. As per normal practice you almost overturn your vehicle, either due to the fright you experience from the sudden sound of the eerie or loud ringtone or even the realization that someone is calling you; you do not have a bluetooth earpiece which is law, and you balance the phone, the smoke and the steering wheel with your one hand while turning the radio volume down with the other hand and then changing lanes at the same time, not intentionally but due to your reaction to the call. The poor drivers around you believe you have lost control of the vehicle, which in fact you have as your mind freezes at that time, and after veering across the lanes a few times or slowing down from 120km/h to about 60km/h in a matter of seconds and creating a traffic jam on top of it, you enjoy your chat on the cell phone, and after you are finished, you speed up to 140km/h to make up for lost time, and look around in dismay at all the "stupid" drivers looking at you as if you're mad, ........ sometimes not even realizing you are a definite asswipe !!!!!!

*** You drive a truck, which top speed is about 80 km/h on a downhill, in the left lane of a higway. A truck in front of you is driving at 78 km/h which ccoring to your calculations is just a little too slow for your liking. You push into the traffic in the right lane (use your size advantage over the poor small vehicles to force your way in), and then "try" to overtake the other truck, knowing that this could take a while (but who cares), and in the meantime half of the highway's vehicles are backed up behind both trucks. Not one of the 2 trucks is prepared to either speed up or give way, in fact they start "dicing" each other, this at the expense of the ever increasing highway traffic buildup behind them. After franctically trying for about 3 to5 minutes (which in normal time behind a truck is VERY long), you eventually give up, or on the downhill the other truck actually pulls away from you and you fall in behind the truck again. Then you look with a "surprised" asswipe face at the motorists passing you, glaring at you or even demonstrating the middle finger or other signs showing their dislike of your actions, and you even curse them for doing that. ................... oh you are surely a dumb asswipe !!!!!!
