As a dad of 2 little boys I laughed my ass off with the first post. Morons and their damn f_ck trophies.

As the big guy with all the guns and scary looking buddies my white Republican neighbors never make eye contact with us.

My hunting vehicle is a Tundra Crew Max, my license plate says " so f_ck you too" ( spelled differently) my plate frame says "Never bring a knife to a gunfight... 2nd Amendment). That with the security cameras on the property means that silence is golden and leave me and my family alone.

Similar experience. I was coming home one night and was only about 7 houses down from my house doing 25mph exactly and there are 4 people halfway in the street sitting in lawn chairs with a barbecue. An older lady in the group yells at me "SLOW DOWN". I stop right in front of her and these are the words that came out of my mouth. "Excuse me, but WHY DON"T YOU MOVE THE PHUCK OUT OF THE STREET before I call the police and have them give you a ticket for obstruction of traffic".

I hate crybaby soccer moms that scream at you to slow the hell down when you aren't speeding whatsoever.

There were no kids playing or anything, but he just stood there poking his finger while yelling at me to slow down. I took about five seconds of that crap, backed up, and drove around him. I'll occasionally get a nice "SLOW DOWN!" from some of the soccer moms as well. It's funny how they think they can drive as fast and crazy as they want in their suv's and mini vans, yet I get yelled at for having an exhaust.
i would of gave him a finger right back

i've had people yell at me to slow down multiple times when i was going exactly 25. i just smile and wave. that seems to piss them off more than anything else i could do.

my parents taught me at a young age that i needed to stay out of the street or i'd get hit by a car. if you can't teach your kids that, don't let them play in the front yard.

As much as I hate telling people what to do or how to drive, sometimes I just feel like bashing my neighbors' head in.

She is a young Hispanic girl, fresh out of High school. She is a bit overweight and drives a POS F-Body V6 Camaro.

Every time she leaves her house, she ****ing guns it down the neighborhood. The worst part, is it's an Automatic and she tries too drive it like a Manual.

Needless to say, she really pisses me off.

Fortunately I live in the desert and everyones front yard consists of rocks and cactus. That and its too hot to be outside during the heat of the day.

That being said, I have had people give me the old "SLOW DOWN" and ive been known to politely return the gesture with a 1 finger wave.

I had a guy on my folks' street scream at me "Slow down a--hole!" because I was in my dad's STS and it downshifted to first so the revs went up momentarily as I turned onto the street. Automatics don't downshift to first when you're ZOOMING down the road. I actually heard him yell it when I was about 6 feet from his driveway and stopped in front of it because I thought he was being friendly. Lit

In response to the OP's post, I'd like to think I might've pulled over, and broken or stolen her signs, or told her I'm calling the police. But I wouldn't, I would've just driven away I'm sure

A couple of years ago a 12 year old boy was killed by a speeding car in my subdivision. He was a good kid. He should not have been in the street. But I remember being twelve. I was an idiot sometimes too back then.

I see his mother in her yard sometimes. She still has not gotten over it and it bothers me when I see her. Not sure why.

There is one street in town where I've seen that sign, but I think it is warranted in this case. It is a known shortcut that commuters take to get around some congestion, so they tend to speed down it.
