yeah, and when you cause an accident because someone slams on their breaks without thinking, i really, really hope you get caught and sued! you're F**king with people, you deserve the same in response. yeah, it's fun to mess with people, if you aren't the people, but it's obnoxious and antisocial at best, and it does only cause more problems. just imagine what happens when a car slams on his breaks before he remembers a semi is tailgating him, that could easily be a fatal joke, not very funny, but we are living in a grossly sick society. be nice to others, honestly it's far more rewarding.
