home depot and some others you put a coin into the cart to get one and lock it up on return to get your coin back. i expect the aggressive driving is frustration going on , today it is hard not to get upset when driving. Driving school or instructors will also tell you to leave that space cushion in front of at all times. i really try to everyone in front of me a lot space and adjust my speed. of course someone will cut into the space on the left or right. I then back off some more. Plus it takes a lot of tension out of body not driving so close. having moved 11 times, and run gasoline terminal i am somewhat familiar with truckers. g i have been almost run off the road , once early morning around 4:30am ,just me and a trucker who came up on me at very high rate of speed and passed on my left and but cut over quickly and would have hit me and thrown me into the woods had i not hit my brakes quickly as i saw him cutting over. Scared the hell out of me! No one would have found me perhaps for a day or two if then and trucker would have kept going as i assume , he was nuts and did it on purpose or driving over his d.o.t. log time and on drugs to keep him awake. I always give rigs the space. you never what condition the truck that is next to is in. are the hoses in good condition or frayed. when was last time brakes were changed? what is experience of driver, how long has the driver really been on the road. i used to drive the 95 route and tons of those drivers are on extended hours as they cannot make any real money unless they skirt the system. no answers,, just facts..g

Sounds familiar to me. I despise aggressive drivers and those who follow too close. Has anyone else noticed how young women seem to excel at aggression behind the wheel? Around here, they are the worst, followed closely by young men. The buggies in the parking lot is also one of my peeves. I always park about as distant to the stores front door as I can. I don't want some SOB in his SUV opening his door into the side of my car. Also, the loose carts in the lot aren't usually that far away as everyone else tries to park at the door.

<<I think it's rude>> I don't tolerate rude anymore. It's not called for. A few years ago I was at a Denny's restaurant and a guy was giving the waitress a hard time then threatened to complain to the management about her. As I left I called for the manager and pointed to the guy and said loudly "That SOB has been giving the waitress a hard time and said he'll complain about her. Totally bogus as she has been giving him service above and beyond." 50 people quit eating and watched as I went on about the joker. A week later I took the wife to dinner there and the waitress kissed me. Wife took that place off where I could go.
