Shouts and Frowns has a bone to pick:
Today two hipsters screamed out of their window at my Dad to get out of their way on Valencia street because he was driving a bit too slow while looking for parking. I OF COURSE screamed back and first thing my parents said were “Don’t do that even if you are in the right because in America everyone has guns and they’ll shoot whenever they feel like it”. Mission hipsters with guns? I kinda doubt it. I bet this two douchebags’ okcupid profiles said they love peace and ethnic food.
Ha! I bet that’s true! Anything else?
I won’t have said anything if I were driving through Bay View or Cow Palace or something…
Yep. [link]
who doesn’t enjoy a pleasant drive through teh Cow Palace?
So why wouldn’t anyone — hipsters or not — yell at some schmo driving around going 2mph?
Even if you know the slow driver is driving slow because they are looking for parking, its pretty annoying.
Ya once I yelled at a dude who was being a dick in his car but then i realized he was driving a shitty 90s Olds with giant rims, tough, hood-lookin’ latino dude….. i backed off pretty quick.
yay prejudice!
I yell at people all the time because I am old and angry.
Yell at someone for me sometime, I don’t get out much anymore.
umm nothing is worth getting riled up .. learn to tune em out.. this is the City after all… stop calling the wahbulance…
Awwwww….don’t get so mad! Maybe you should go to lululemon and buy lots of yoga gear and start stretching out your issues. It will help you further your corporate career !! It’s helped me really be a WINNER!
Sarcasm? On the *internet*? This is an exciting new concept.
who looks for parking on valencia?
People who want to park near the police station?
Maybe they had someplace to be
I got to drive my car through the Cow Palace once, for reals……There is a back stage access that goes through the back…..I drove right through……
Who still gets impatient about driving on Valencia? Real Mission hipsters know the lights are timed to 13 MPH so there’s no sense in rushing up to the next red light. Roll your windows down and enjoy some MTA-sanctioned cruising!
If English is your second language please disregard:
“first thing my parents said were”
“this two douchebags’ okcupid profiles said”
“I won’t have said anything”
I’m interested in what you’re trying to say here but I’m struggling with dismissing you entirely because of your grammar.
I’ve yelled at hipsters before on Valencia because they were wearing just disgusting combinations of plaid. Plus the guy was wearing his sisters skinny jeans.
douche.
When people give me grief I like to smile and them and say “Have a Nice Day!”
Way more effective than flipping them off.
It’s men like you who are the true heros.
My fave is “JEEZUS LOVES YOUR RAGE!!!”
The fact that 85% of the drivers in SF have no idea how to drive means that to rouse me to even the briefest honk you pretty much have to be swerving back and forth across both directions of traffic shooting bottle rockets out your windows. Old man driving too slowly? Meh.
Yeah, few years ago, my wife (new yorker) leaned on the horn at a couple of guys who were to busy talking to their buddy in the next lane to go when the light turned green at Bayshore and Industrial. They got out the car and let us know they had guns.
I really hate idiots that don’t put their hazards or signal lights on when going that slow or double parking and stopping in the middle of the road! Or people that don’t signal at all. These idiots live in their own little worlds.
