i was driving on the highway yesterday. i was comming home from college and i had a stomach ache. anyway i had to stop on the side of the highway to through up and people are honking at me that they are mad. it's a 4 lane highway and it wan't busy traffic time but there really isn't much of a shoulder so i couldn't get completely out of the way, i did as much as i could but really i can't through up and drive at the same time. i really wish people could relax. i had my 4 ways on and it's not like i would stop for nothing people should realize it's kind of an emergency.

I know what you mean. I am going through the same thing.I have a pituitary tumor and the girls at work just dont understand so they make little comments about me being lazy, or being a baby,or being weak because i can't do as much as i useto.People need to just slow down and look at it in the other person shoes.How would they act if it was them. Maybe it would change thier comments.

Wow, I too had to stop yesterday while on the highway, and it wasn't a four lane highway it was a two laner, I found a space that was big enough to pull over but on my blinker and was out the door, and wouldn't you know it while I was throwing up, it started to rain.

people don't care anymore unless its them. you could been dieing and it woudln't of mattered. we had the same thing happen the other day with my husbands cusion cuz he gets car sick but we had room to get off the road so people weren't to bad. but it happens and people should relize this cuz someday it will be them.
hope your feeling better now.

You know what I say about those types of people? To hell with them!! What the hell do they expect you to do, puke in your lap? I shall think NOT! I'd have ignored them and finished my business the best I could and then drove to the nearest gas station to clean my mouth and then drove myself home. Hope you're feeling better now.

People get cranky when they drive. You didn't get hurt. You weren't hurting anyone. And you were doing your best. Sorry you didn't feel well. I would have done the same thing. So don't let it get to you.

That's so sad that people are so insensitive and selfish these days that they would honk at you for pulling over to throw up, rather than crash their butts and possibly cause harm to them. What jerks! Don't worry, the creator sees all....

I cannot imagine people getting mad at you. I hope you are feeling better and get back on your feet soon. People can be so intolerant at times.

I'm sorry you were sick, pop. And sorry especially that you had to endure such hateful people. You did all you could. People just need to chill out.

Ugh. hope you're feeling better. It's a shame people have to be that way. Everyone is in such a hurry all the time that they never have time to think about the other person.

People are selfish and intolerant, they do not care about others only themselves. It is a sad but very true fact. I think even if you had collapsed in front of them they would have just called you inconsiderate and told you to just collapse somewhere else out of their way! Hope you are better now though.

I hope you are feeling better now, it is sad ppl get so worked up driving they could only see that you were pulled over and being in their way as opposed to seeing that you were sick and trying to take care of yourself, if we could all slow down we could see things a little differently, so dont worry about it, life happens and time passes. :)
