GermanyUnfriendly Females In CarsBernd2023-06-23 18:37:52 · 3yNo. 275996reply
I live in a street that is too narrow for two cars to pass each other. If another car comes from the other direction one car has to stop at the side of the road to let the other one pass. It is customary that when another car lets you pass you raise your hand to the one that let you pass as a way to say thanks to him.
 
What I noticed is that males almost always do this while females never say thanks when I let them pass.
What is the reason for that?

perhaps they subconsciously think they're entitled

Women should not drive. I don’t know about your countries but here 90% drive like shit and the othe remaining 10% are excellent drivers. Of course, here most males also drive like shit in the sense that they don’t give a crap about pedestrians and other drivers (law of the jungle and culture of I am stronker than you/I want to be number one or arrive first), but their driving skills are actually really good.

Most annoying drivers here are those who tailgate you when you dont drive faster than the speed limit. Those are most often males.

This happens in the autobahn or in normal roads?
GermanyBernd2023-06-24 06:26:59 · 3yNo. 276089reply
Normal roads. On the autobahn you won't have any problems as long as you don't block the left lane.

My dream is to equip some type of heavy armor that makes me immune to being run over by cars and ride my bicycle at 10-15kmh on the Autobahn's left side with millions of Germanoids behing me seething

You could just drop a block of concrete or something over the lane...
GermanyBernd2023-06-24 07:17:06 · 3yNo. 276094reply
Everyone would just overtake on the right. Also only the first hundred would even know that a bicycle was blocking the lane. The rest just sees an ordinary traffic jam in front of them.

Verboten

Riding a bicycle on the autobahn is, too. Two negatives cancel each other out.

A healthy male would.
 
A metrosexual Karen would NOT

True, because minimal speed is also enforced on highways

Let three males pass today.
Two did not thank me. Only one did.

Today I wanted to drive to work. The road was blocked behind my parking spot with a truck with the free-parking-everywhere-lights on in front of a construction site.
Just when I wanted to pull out a huge expensive mercedes with an old lady started to drive down the road towards the truck. When she realized that the road was blocked she stopped in front of my parking space and put her hands against here head.
I started to drive out to show her that she couldn't just stand there and block me and had to let me out so I could drive on the road in the opposite direction.
She started to very slowly drive backwards.
But instead of pulling into a driveway to turn and drive down the road forwards in the opposite drection. Or just drive to the side to let me through, she decided to really slowly drive backwards about 100m the whole road until the next crossroads where I could finally pass and drive to work.
I hate old people

this shouldn't be entertaining but it is
GermanyBernd2023-06-27 20:41:41 · 3yNo. 276550reply
The strange thing is that this old lady only took about 1-2 minutes of my life with her stupidity or lack of driving skills which is usually something which should not bother me at all. But when you are in your car and have to drive in walking speed behind someone you can't help but feel enraged. There is something about driving which makes a person unbalanced.

perhaps it is knowing that your engine is burning your money :^)

doubts. Driving the same distance very slowly takes probably less fuel than driving it fast.
 
Today I let a female on a bicycle pass and she thanked me properly. I think I've finally found the good females. They ride on a bike.

and carcels will continue to seethe and project about how cyclists are the worst people

Some cyclists here (including myself) thank car drivers for letting them pass (with a nod though as any hand action can be confused with an intention to take a turn). But many presume car drivers ought to stop and look very surprised when they don't. Haven't observed any gender correlation here.

There is bicycle path crossing in my city that has stop sign. You have to go uphill to get to the road (the road is elevated and it's in a forest. So it's very bad visibility, it is reasonable.
What is surprising is, a lot of drivers will still stop and yield if they see you. When it's you who have a stop rign.
GermanyBernd2023-06-29 15:40:54 · 3yNo. 276678reply
Here it is usually the other way around. Cars mostly ignore cyclists and expect that they move out of their way.
Since I exclusively rode a bike for decades I know that it takes way less effort to just step onto the brake and onto the gas than to accelerate your bike from standstill so I usually give them priority. Cyclists usually don’t expect this and that makes them way more grateful.
