KT gets teh road rage - TR

[Dick Mango]

I was heading home after work and entered the beltine (which is sort of like a freeway that circles our city). It was raining, dark, and traffic was moving very slowly. After I merged into traffic I signaled and moved to the left-most lane. As I did that the driver behind me in the left lane unsuccessfully tried speeding up to cut me off so that I couldn't move over.

After I moved over the driver started flashing the brights, honking, and started tailgating. Traffic thinned out, we sped up to about 55 mpg and the driver kept tailgating. I signaled before my exit, moved over, and exited. The driver followed my every move.

I took a country road towards my home and stopped at a convenience store to get some milk. The car pulled behind me and a screaming woman got out. I immediately snapped her pic with my camera phone and then walked to the front of her car and snapped a pic of her license plate. That sent her off the deep end and she kept screaming about how I endangered her and her two babies that she had in the back seat.

I pointed out that if that was her concern I'm surprised she followed a stranger out into the country, in the dark, just to go on a rant. I should point out that she was a real babe, by the way. She eventually left after I went into the store.

End of story is that I ran into her the next morning at our ski club when we were both there to sign our kids up for lessons. I see her all the time now. Not cool.

I don't see why you guys feel bad for letting these people know that they have very dangerous and d-baggy driving habits. They need to know that eventually someone will get hurt, either by them causing an accident or by getting their arse kicked for almost causing one. You guys are my role models!

Because often the way you "let these people know" is by doing something dangerous and/or illegal like cutting them off or tailgating them or something like that.

You are the d-bag in this story. You:
- Cut someone off
- Drove in the left lane at 55 (mph, not mpg like you said...unless you drive a Prius, in which case you are more of a d-bag)
- Didn't get out of the way when someone flashed their lights
- Snapped a pic of the driver (why??) and her license plate (wtf is that gonna get you -- are you gonna call the cops on her??)
- Pissed off a hot chick you see often
