I had this c*nt in an Escalade full of kids look....then pull right out in front of me on a two laner when Im doing like 55 or 60 the other day....had to hammer the brakes and tools and crap flew from the back into the front of the van.....then she just slowly accelerates, no hurry at all....look in my rearview and theres nobody behind me!....I got right up her ass and held the horn on for about a mile and a half solid!!!.....the kids started looking out the back after awhile....you could tell they were telling her "he's giving you the finger...." a little roadrage? yes....hopefully she wont do it again and I felt a lot better...!
Definitely helps people find the go-pedal..
I'm Sure there will be plenty more boating stories after this MEM day Weekend...

Bass boats fishing in the middle of blind curves that are main byways? I don't get it or the attitudes. You can't be catching anything with all the traffic and jeopardizing everyone that rounds the corner.
Jet skis are kamikaze pilots. I learned they will do anythng to pass you, even if putting themselves endanger by pinching you in a curve.
I have come off plane for canoes up river where it might be appropriate location for canoeing (but they really shouldn't be where big boats are), but sea kayaks in the main channel I am not coming off plane. They made a conscious decision to be there in the main channel wakes. In contrast. I choose not to take my power boat to play in a shipping lane jumping wakes or run thru a sail boat regatta.
I really believe the go fast crowd is pretty safety conscious and situation aware compared to all other boaters. I do my part to help project a good image

While we're venting, two more things that piss me off: I'm IDLING through a canal, just checking out the scenery on my way to the ICW and some dude in a paddle canoe is giving me the tough-guy stare and mouthing the words "a**-hole". Why is every guy in a canoe pissed that you're in a boat?
Or better yet, when I'm coming back into port at dusk and three guys in a 12 foot boat are fishing right in the middle of the channel. Why do I have to idle in 600 yards before the no wake zone to avoid running over some yahoos who are where they shouldn't be? To me, stopping in the middle of the channel into a port is like stopping in the middle of the highway.
