Why cant people back off Options

[BlackCelicaGT94]

So yesterday I was in my works parking lot and some lady was about to cross but saw me coming so she stopped and I went but i put my hand up to wave thanks and i saw the lady was like mouthin to herself and i was like wtf? then I couldnt get traction so I started peeling out accidently. Well come to find out that someone at that office called someone at my office and complained that ive almost hit people ???? so that guy wrote my boss and now im dreading that. this week i keep getting talked to for like everything. its really pissing me off.

Im more mad that they are complaining cuz ever since my reckless ticket in September ive calmed down alot. Im just tired of getting yelled at for my driving cuz my car is loud and yeah when im going 5 - 10 miles per hour it sounds like im doing probably 15 - 25.

I just hope I dont get yelled at too much about it from my boss. shes a girls so im not sure she will understand how my car sounds louder than its actually going.

That is dumb. I was in my work parking lot and I hit somt water and my wheels started spinning... right in front of my boss

[BlackCelicaGT94]

Just found out they told my boss that I peel out everyday and i almost hit people all the time!

im so mad. makes me wanna peel out all the time now and be like "so if your going to accuse me of it anyways then im going to do it"

drive your car right up to the entrance doors and sit and do a burn out.

You could learn how to drive, but that would be to easy.

[BlackCelicaGT94]

?? Dont know how you can say whether someone can drive or not considering youve never seen them. I admit that my driving in the past wasnt the best but since the 2500 dollar lawyer and 350 dollar ticket ive been alot better with my driving and my attitude when driving

[95CelicaST]

take a little bit of oil with you to work. Park in front of their door, pour it on the ground in front of your tires and spin them for a while... while giving them the finger

walk to work

yeah, learning how to drive sounds pretty good. Seems like you have a history of bad driving. I'm not trying to be a jerk, I'm not the best driver and I'm still learning myself.

They emailed the office manager here - uhh im so over these people
heres what it said
Hi,
I spoke to someone last night after hours, but felt it was neccessary to contact someone again this morning.
Since this summer, your receptionist that drives the black Toyota Celica has REPEATEDLY sped through our lot with no regard for others.

Last night, she came very close to hitting one of our employees. When she was told to slow down, she began to rev her engine and peel out right in front of our offices.
Several times I have backed out of one of the parking spots after looking to make sure no one was coming, and sure enough, she sped around the corner with no care almost hitting me and then honking her horn.

Having small children, this kind of behavior scares me, and I would treat it much differently if they were in the car with me here at work. Let's just say I would not be as nice.

I honestly think that this issue needs to be addressed immediately. The Kirkland Police incident this summer in the parking lot does not help her case IMO.

[Chanh55]

Can you really say "IMO" in a professional email? Is this girl really young or something... I'm not sure what really happened but this statement was totally unnecessary,

"The Kirkland Police incident this summer in the parking lot does not help her case IMO."

Sounds like you got a hater on your hands...

[Culpable04]

since your driving style has changed since your incident with the police, I think you should try to change your job too, start fresh somewhere else. From personal experiences I can tell you doesn't matter how you drive from now on, they'll always think you drive like a maniac because that's the first impression they got and is hard to change that.

[Celiracer18]

meh sounds like they all need me there to show them how a crazy person drives

yeah if its not too far then just walk/ride bike/public transportation or some other way of getting to work for a while. if not just tell them you just got out of prison for killing the last person that complained about your driving

[BlackCelicaGT94]

^ lol i like that.

i have decided to use the exit that doesnt pass their offices. its only a 3 - 5 mile drive but I need my transportation :-)

[XS4lv1Truch0x]

maybe you could try starting out from a dead stop in 2nd gear instead of 1st... my guess is that the celi wont be as loud...

[bufferdan]

celica's are so powerful and torquey its impossible to take off without peeling out in every gear.

[BlackCelicaGT94]

^ thats what i told them! geez. im suprise they knew i had a celica and that it wasnt a supra or something according to them since my car is debadged. I give htem props on knowing what kind of car I have. :-P

hahah this is too funny

[Toyoca]

maybe you ARE a bad driver. possibility?

[BlackCelicaGT94]

i was a very defensive aggressive driver but ive had many compliments on my driving for a woman. so i dont think im a bad driver. the aggressive side comes out once and a while now but since my incident in October ive calmed down alot. Im not always in a rush to get places and what not.

[Bigmeanbulldog55]

Pick a spring on the throttle body of the woman who's giving you a hard time. Don't make it obvious. Make it so when she goes to back out of her spot the throttle doesn't want to go back down. She'll hit someone, and then the attention goes off of you, and on to her. And it really hurts her case to say you are a bad driver when she is the one hitting people in the parking lot.

Or take a common ordinary office thumbtack and poke a small hole in one of her front brake lines [doesn't require the hood to be popped although I like BMB's idea better.]

or launch an RPG into the side of her car. Thats a good way to put the attention on her.

Yeah! Or, you could get some people together, and when she's in a meeting (or something else that will get her attention for an hour or two) remove all her tires and put her car on cinder blocks!

I have the best idea yet. Release the pressure on her brakes. Just turn the screw to bleed them and let a little air get in them. This is very inconspicuous, and effective. When she backs out of her spot she will try to hit the brakes and will keep going into another car. This would work better paired with my throttle body idea, but it is intrusive. Of course, she will have brakes if she pumps them, but hopefully she won't have enough time to think and will just hit the car behind her. This will work better with a manual trans because you don't have to press the brake to put the car in gear. With the auto, she has more of a chance of finding out before she backs up that there aren't immediate brakes from her having to shift into reverse. Still, it could work and it's very quick to do. I am serious about this. This is what happens to people to screw with me.
