A case of road rage

Warning! This is NOT a G rated post! Read @ your own peril!



When you come out of our parking lot @ work, to the right up about 1/4 miles is a nice little hill where you can't see someone until they pop over it. Needless to say, they're on their way out of town & hauling ass. Plus, our parking lot is about a foot lower than the road. I kinda get a slow start as to not bounce my happy ass out of my moonroof...AND I had those blade thingies for the planter in the back. When I hit the bump, all those things headed towards my tailgate. Anywho, I'm not the type of driver that stomps on the gas & takes off. I like to take off a little slower to give the car a minute to warm up. I love my car. Like seriously LOVE it & I try not to drive like a mad woman! I scratched the tailgate one time w/ the garage door & called Brad crying so hard he thought I'd just chopped my legs off!



So, I'm leaving work w/ approx 350 lbs of METAL in my car & as I pulled out to the left & started on my merry way, I looked in my rear view mirror & saw a car that had come up over the hill AFTER I pulled out. He was coming up on my ass VERY VERY fast. Like so fast I thought he was gonna hit me. Then he got RIGHT ON MY ASS & honked his horn. And flashed his lights. And he didn't let off that damn horn. I'm like, ok dude, chill. I'm working on getting my speed up. And I thought that would be it. He made it apparently obvious he was mad @ me, so road rage over, right? Wrong! He wouldn't let off his horn. He just kept honking (like pushed the horn & didn't let off) & kept flashing his lights & stayed right on my ass. So, being the mature young lady that I am, I decided to not go over 40 mph! Immature? Probably... Childish? Definately! But I don't care. That prick (sorry moms of the world, there's NO other way to describe him!) started flipping me off & I just waved. Which, for those of you who know me, was VERY difficult to do. I totally wanted to tell him he was #1 too! It's only about 2 miles down the road before I have to turn off. He kept honking & flashing his lights the whole time, so I was a baby & never went over 40. Then, when it was time to turn off, I didn't use my signal, I just turned & then I did turn around & flip him off! Sorry!



I wish I'd had the presence of mind to take pics of the prick on my rear view mirror! This is also why I should never carry a gun...
