My recent encounters with people driving like bosses
A few days ago, I was driving on an expressway, following another car around 1.5~2 seconds' distance. There was no break down lane (therefore all entries have "yield" signs). A guy driving a brown Toyota minivan, waiting in an entry, suddenly decided to try a launch start to see if he can jump in between our two cars. I tried my best to make his day easier, but he still failed. 
Facepalm.
A few days ago, after exiting a roundabout, I signaled and then started to make a lane change from the right to the left on that two lane road. A college guy driving a silver E46 BMW 330i, with a black hair girl sitting next to him, decided to see if he can pass me on the left if he floors it, when he was still about 2 car length behind me. He succeeded it. So I tried to pass him, but we both got stuck in traffic.Facepalm.
The greatest story happened today. I was driving home in the snow storm, following a girl driving a silver CR-V. She had a coupe of friends sitting in her car, yet she was making phone calls while driving. Well, I can take it if she only swung between lanes and can't remain in a stable speed. But she wouldn't let me pass (why??????????????????????????????????????????).Facepalm. Then I finally passed her when she was blocked by a car turning left in a crossing. There was a bus stopped in front of me, so I signaled and attempted to make a lane change to the left. A guy driving a dark brown Land Rover decided to try that BMW guy's thing in my back. But I was more experienced with them this time, so I didn't make a full lane change, and it turned out well. Facepalm. Right after this, I was driving in the left lane, and a Crown Vic taxi driver driving slowly on the opposite direction made a lane change to his left, and then another lane change to his left, which crossed the double yellow lane and into my lane (without any signals). !!!!!!. I was braking like in crash prevention class, and we stopped less than 1 foot between each other. Facepalm.
Later I thought he either was trying to make a U-turn with style or didn't notice where the double yellow lane was in the snow storm.
Dude, ye just can't drive in Bwoast'n.

I'm probably the most tamed driver among all my peer drivers I know. I never gave anyone a gesture, and never got aggravated by other drivers and reacted to them. When another driver gives a me a gesture, I smile. When others roll down the window and swear, I say "I'm sorry." I have a female friend who often ride in my car, and she is surprised that I don't even complain when shtz happen. I just keep quiet and listen to my music. Yet you people wish me to crash...
At least I learn from your guys it will be always my fault. If I get hit by a reckless driver, it will be his fault AND my fault, because 1) I may be hurt; 2) the judge and jury may understand, but my friends, family, and insurance company will not understand. So it's my fault in the end of the day whatsoever. Moral of the story: just yield to aggressive drivers anyway, because if I get hit, I will be blamed.

I'm confused too. How does one drive like a boss? Are they threatening to fire you? Are you rolling down your window and having conversations about metrics? Do you pull over and white board your driving experiences? Was Rick Ross driving one of the vehicles?

OP, you missed the concept behind the . You do not need to write Facepalm if you use the Facepalm emoticon. In fact, you should ONLY use the emoticon. Thus saving time and sparing the reader from reading Facepalm twice.

And I'm quite interested in how you do in writing essays. Because you seem to fail at storytelling. And spelling.
