Today, I got screamed at, threatened, cursed, and spat on by an elderly couple for "running them off the road". I was driving an ambulance, lights and sirens on, with a 4 year old in the back who couldn't breathe. They were going 20 in a 50mph zone for 2 miles straight. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I got screamed and honked at by a driver who felt I was in the way of his turn. I was on foot, and on the sidewalk. FML
Today, some aggressive asshole was tailgating me on my way home, bumping into me twice. I got scared and kicked my car into high gear and got out of there. Seconds later, a traffic cop came out of nowhere and pulled me over for speeding. FML
Today, I was driving my grandpa to the store because his car is in the shop. I was well within the speed limit, but he kept yelling at me for "speeding", then accused me of trying to give him a heart attack, and eventually pulled the e-brake, getting us rear-ended. He refuses to apologise. FML
Today, my neighbor yelled at me for driving recklessly. I was going 35 mph, and she was stopped in the middle of a road around a blind curve. My "reckless driving" was slamming on the brakes so I wouldn't hit her. FML
Today, I had a “Fuck you” shouting match with a guy who'd tailgated me in the slow lane through an active school zone. I flipped him off when he finally passed, which admittedly wasn’t my best move. He ended up beside me, windows down, where we verbally sparred like teenagers in a dick swinging contest. Regrettably. FML
Today, a cop almost rear-ended my car, slammed on the gas with no warning, swerved around me, flipped me the bird, then cut me off and then drove a full ten miles under the speed limit. When I changed lanes to overtake him, he pulled me over for road rage. FML
Today, my car broke down at a red light. A man pulled up next to me and yelled at me to get out of the fast lane. I thought he was gonna offer help, as I was a young woman on her own, but he just yelled at me and sped off. FML
Today, I was walking down the street, when a car started cruising alongside me. I looked over, annoyed, at which point the driver started screaming obscenities and telling me that I'm "gonna get it" for "betraying" him, before angrily speeding off. I'm too scared to even sleep now. FML
Today, as I was driving to work, I witnessed a kid apparently getting jumped. Being a good citizen, I got out and started yelling at them. I ended up alongside the kid in the hospital. FML
Today, I was going into a store and saw a woman roughly handling a screaming toddler. I kept walking, until I heard the kid scream, "Help! You’re not my mommy!” I called 911 and stood behind the car to keep her from taking off. The cops arrived to see me fending off blows from a very pissed off grandma. FML

It's the way old people think that younger people should respect them. They should earn respect

After 60 old people should have to retake a drivers test to keep their license

Old people

Old people should be required to renew their drivers license. A study of traffic accidents in Great Britain showed that most accidents are not caused by speed, alcohol, or young drivers, but by - born-again motorcyclists - people who have not had their vehicles properly maintained - aggressive drivers (Usually in their 30's) - the elderly Young people (If they are not driving like a hooligan, which most don't) have better reactions and are less likely to cause an accident than old people. In my life, I've seen old people pull out into oncoming traffic, drive 30 miles below the speed limit, fail to indicate more times than I'd care to recount, and even drive the wrong way down a motorway. Old people retaking their driving test isn't a matter of prejudice against the old, it's a matter of public safety.

This is why I hate old people 'Back in my day, we actually sat down and ate our dinner every night!!!'' 'Back in my day, we weren't allowed to eat dinner. We had to wait for our parents and the dogs to finish and then we could eat the leftovers!' Make up your mind bitches!

Well, when they fall and hurt themselves with their old brittle bones and call an ambulance for help (hopefully you happen to be on call), drive slow and safely while they suffer in the back because safe driving is what they asked for.

I once got honked at, flipped off, and almost hit by another car because I was getting out of an ambulance's way. People don't give a s**t about anyone but themselves.
