Side View Idiot

To the fat, bearded redneck who kept looking back at me in his side mirrors: what the fuck are you looking at? Secondly, why the fuck is your side mirror set to where I can see your face if I'm directly behind you? If I can see your face and you can see mine, then you've got your shit adjusted improperly. Rear view mirrors are for seeing what's directly behind you, side mirrors are for seeing what is to the side of you, you dumb shit! They're supposed to be tilted out enough so you can see the spot that is just outside of your peripheral vision and just outside of what you can't see in your rearview mirror. That's called the blind spot and if you adjust your mirrors right, you don't have one...and also I won't have to see your dumb, fat, plaid wearing, Nextel talking, fish hook in the camouflage ball cap face staring back at me.

In your defense, you're not the first fool to do this. Somewhere along the line, people forgot or just plain never knew in the first place how to do adjust mirrors. There's two exceptions to this rule (yes, rule.) If you don't have a rear window (cargo van, tractor trailers) or your rear window is obscured. None of these were the case. So suck it...and stop looking at me.
