The next time someone tries to yield to me when I am backing up and their big fucking truck
Comes along and lumbering through and tries to gesture to me, I'm pulling forward cutting my engines and getting out of the vehicle rather than taking advantage of their effort to surrender the right of way.
I just tried to get out of the Fred Meyer's parking lot only to get into an argument where I tried to respect this ladies Gesture trying to yield the right of way but as I pulled out of the parking spot I realized the way to the right was still not far enough back to clear the vehicle on my right and the path to the left was still occupied by the damn truck who tried to yield to me and in the process of monitoring all this stuff I ended up backing into this damn families car and had to give her my number to pass her onto my insurance if necessary because I'm technically "At fault" per the law but fuck the law I mean the truck for instance mislead me into thinking If I didn't yield the right of way I could clear it to at least make a right turn and exit the parking lot when I really needed a left ultimately to pick up the other member of my party, by gesturing she was implying I had enough space to clear it for a right turn but, if so only just barely in a way where I would have scraped the other vehicle in doing it. I was boxed in from 3 directions basically and the only place to go was right back into the parking spot and yet in Oregon fashion I tried to pull out she came I sighed, she gestured, so I started backing out only there was nowhere for me to go, and then suddenly these two ladies are like how did you miss it I'm like gee I don't know maybe my entire focus was on trying to find a gap wide enough that I felt comfortable turning right not glancing at my backup cameras, perhaps I would have cleared it but, I didn't feel comfortable making that right turn.
So what we have is a situation where the whole chain of horrible events was set in motion because someone tried to surrender their right of way.
It's always the ones who try to help and yet don't understand the help we actually need who make things manifestly worst. At least the damage is only to our car and cosmetic.
I'm mad though. My society blames me, I blame it's fucked up laws that I don't agree with at all.
Maybe blame me but whatever, I feel kinda smug though in that, well serves her right.
The truck that was then occupying my space had to deal with us taking ten times longer as we exchanged digits.
That's what you get for surrendering the right of way. Instead of just GOING which would have made my life manifestly easier.
