mr.yuck Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 Today I did some way out of character shit. I straight up got involved in some one else’s road rage that ended in an accident right in front of me. This redneck that was the rager got out of his whip and started berating these poor people dropping Ns and acting like they were in the wrong. I don’t put up with that kind of shit and I was watching what looked like was gonna be a roadside beat down, so I called the black dude and his wife over to my van. I told him I had his back if he needed a witness. I gave him my name and number and drove off. Less than 5 minutes later I had a state trooper calling me asking what happened and I straight snitched this fucking hillbilly out. It felt fucking powerful. Now I get to go to court and smoke this bitch as a material witness if it comes to it. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elena Delle Donne Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 ^^ have done similar on my bike before. the fun thing about road rage people is that they do it just about every day and are a cancer on polite society. everyone drives like shit since the pandemic started too. this is actively improving society, true altruist behavior 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KILZ FILLZ Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 If someone is tailgating me on the highway I use my windshield wipers for a long ass time so they get blasted with the overspray behind me. That’s the beginning and end of my road rage. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s the beginning and end of my road rage. This shit was outrageous, man. This dude was doing that shit where you speed up and close the gap so someone can’t merge into traffic from a lane that’s ending. This shit went on for 1000 feet. Finally the lady in front of the rager stopped completely and let him in. This infuriated the rager that this person got in front of him that he swung out into the ending lane so he was half in a lane and half in the emergency pull off. He smashed the gas to try and speed past the guy that was just let in. He miscalculated and smoked into the front of his shit. Then got out of his car and belligerently started telling dude that the accident was his fault because he had miles to get in the lane he needed to be in instead of riding the ending lane all the way to the end. Lol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One Man Banned Posted March 6, 2022 Share Posted March 6, 2022 Yeah those turds who try to push past people in a lane that's ending is another one that gets me, like you need to fall the fuck back. Will say again that video games really let me down for IRL, all those driving games where you blow up someone in front of you or drop some shit on someone behind you.... my car needs that shit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What’s your retirement look like?” Jesus Christ. What does my retirement look like?

That’s fucking wack. These are for real important ass questions though, right?? My old boss who I drink beers with and occasionally subcontract for was just talking about this shit the other day. Here’s a guy I KNOW has money. Been running a high end paint company for over 20 years. But here he is telling me he’s trying to figure out what his retirement plans are. Believe he’s 46. This is crazy to me because I always assumed dudes who had it together already got that part on lock. I definitely don’t and a lot of us contractor type dudes don’t. Personally this is why I’m so focused (as much as I can be rn) on real estate investment because I literally don’t see any other savior at this stage in life. No amount of stocks or smart guy bankers are going to save me but me and smart decisions on what to grab and hold in real time instead of looking at some fuckin math graph going up and down the next 20 years. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fat ralphy Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 These are the reasons I am hella grateful to be in a unionized pension system - I make over 100k annual but without shit like retirement/deferred comp etc I know I would be fucked. Most dudes who grew up how most of us did, aren’t really the great financial planner types. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NightmareOnElmStreet Posted March 8, 2022 Author Share Posted March 8, 2022 I only know a handful of dudes wise beyond their years been had that kind of shit figured out. The one common denominator is the select couple of these mf’s went into some form of union trade straight out of high school and never really dug into life lolol. I don’t hate on them but it is what it is. If a mf really digs their heels into the good bad terrible and ugly of the world they can easily miss that boat. Kinda feel like that’s where I’m at lol. It’s not TOOOO late. But I wish I started a long time ago. I’m 37 btw. If you’re pushin 50 you’re kinda fucked lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One Man Banned Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 It's really not our lifestyle choices tho..... most Americans do not have enough saved for retirement, and they don't have the right amounts saved by the proper milestones to retire at 65, or 66, or 67....... Other issue I've seen is that people haven't planned for a life after retirement. Like they've done what they've done for so long but never had a vision for life after work. They get near the end of work and they start to feel listless, lost, depressed, don't know what to do with themselves. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THIS.. downunder you have 9.5% of your wages put away for your retirement by law. has been like this since 1986. Trouble is most people especially if you're non financial literate tend to have loads of superannuation accounts. You start a new job and for speed sign up to the one the business uses because you want to start getting paid. Times goes by you lose track of them and if there's not much in them the fees etc start to erode them. it took me until I was 42 to start thinking about consolidating them. The guy estimated I'd lost pretty much all of it pre 1999 in fees. There were at least 8 from my kitchen hand days that had virtually nothing in them. I'm not fucked by a long shot but damn I could have been way better off. 40 minutes ago, One Man Banned said: Other issue I've seen is that people haven't planned for a life after retirement.

ndv Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 @Schnitzel like @mr.yuck had mentioned. We have social security, but really all it is, is a Ponzi Scheme. I mean, it the very definition of a Ponzi Scheme. But yeah, the reality of our system, or really any savings system, it is not inflation proof. In the States, we pretty much sum up our social security in a simple mathematic formula which goes something like this. Work 40 hrs a week for 40 years, only to retire and receive half of what you were making a month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think my description was a bit misleading. 6 hours ago, mr.yuck said: shit man. We got social security. Maybe one day when you retire and the cost of living is 100 you can get a government check for 50. 5 years back the age you could qualify for the aged pension from government was 63. So even if you got laid off from your job at 62 after 45 years solid service you had to go on job search for a year even though as a 62 year old nobody would hire you. Now they've pushed it to 67 and in 5 five years it raises to 70. by the time I reach that age it'll probably be 80. actually I'll be dead by then. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like dudes in their late 50s. That was one of key factors that led to me bouncing out on my own. Since I left, that job has killed 3 of them. That 401j money should be enough to plant them. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
