I was driving my girlfriend to a doctor's appointment this morning, and it was during rush hour, lots of traffic, we were running late...I cut off the Expressway, onto the service road, attempting to make a quick right turn but the two turning lanes were so backed up it was difficult if not impossible to get behind all the other cars, so I came up along side one of the few front cars in the left lane and tried to gently ease my way in. The woman behind me was not going to give up that spot, and she started inching forward and honking her horn at me. I continued to push my way in, basically giving her two choices, either let me in or hit me. She gave up, and I got in line, but the honking didn't quit.
The light changes, traffic starts moving, we all make the right..and I say to myself "**** this". I stop my car right where it is..I get out and saunter back to her car, her window was open...and I start off by saying "why do you have to be such a ball buster...you could have just let me in, there was no way I could have made it into the back of the line..she said words to the effect of "get out of my face"..at which point I leaned in her window, looked her right in the eyes and said "You are a stupid ****!". At which point she just nodded and said, say it again so the police can hear you. I said "right, you've instantly dialed them and have them on speakerphone...you're still a ****"..and someday someone will beat the **** out of you". And I walked away...and it felt...good. And I kept saying to myself periodically for a few hours after that..."you're a ****"...and laughing to myself as I said it. Stress does strange things to people.
P.S. This is the second time I did something like this. One other time, maybe a year ago...and yes...in the midst of the divorce with its related stresses..some old bat was tailgating me and honking and I said "screw this" and stopped right in the road and got out and walked back to her car and said "Whats your **** problem".
People need to be taught lessons sometimes.
