And Second, as far as road rage goes... I had a little incident about a month ago or so. I'm pulling out of a mall (the one with staples/boston pizza/rogers video) onto the highway. I have to pull out a little slow because of my car, but not that slow... and I look, see a new cherokee i think it was coming, but I had tons of room to go. I glanced, saw I had time to go, and pulled out... but this cherokee was going probably 80-90, so to him, it looked like i cut him off. Maybe I shouldn't have gone... but if he were doing the speed limit, I would have done nothing wrong.
So he continues driving as close to the back of my car as possible, until we hit the light right by car tunes. He stops like 2 inches behind me. I didn't really think much of it... until I go to pull into the strip mall where Joey tomatoes/visions is, and it's not a great entrance, so I slow down to go in... but when ever I have to slow down for an entrance, I always turn my signal on way in advance, and slow down before the turn, so that the car behind me gets the clue that I'm going to go slow into the entrance. Well, this idiot, starts coming up pretty close and doesn't seem like he's going to slow down, so i take the entrance even slower than I would normally. I tried to give him the best warning I could, but I guess he was too dumb to notice. So, as I'm pulling in nails on his brakes behind me and starts honking and shit... so I finger him.
This is where I learned you got to be careful who you finger. You never know who might be in that car.
So, the guy pulls in and follows me. I pull into a parking spot and he pulls in beside me. Well, I'm about to start yellin' at him until I look in the car. In the passanger seat is a guy about 400 pounds, and although he was sitting down, I could tell he was probably atleast 6'2 or so, probably more. In the driver seat is some high strung tense looking guy... but he's pretty big as well... tough looking guy... the type you try not to mess with.
The driver starts spazzing (the passanger didnt say anything the whole time, he seemed like a cool enough guy, but him just being there is enough intimidation). The driver saying shit like I need to learn how to drive, how i'm fucking stupid cause i stop in the middle of the highway, how I purposely cut him off. I started bitching back at him... I didn't want to look like a pussy, and for some reason I wasn't scared of this guy at all. Then he says "step out of the car... step out right now". This crazy dude wants to fight me.
Well, no way am I getting out of the car. I'm a pretty big guy myself, but I'm not stupid. I know I'd get my ass kicked by these two. I was with a friend, but he's quite a bit smaller than I am, so there's no way it'd be a fair fight.
I just told the guy something like "I'm not stepping out the car. would beating me up make you feel better." and then just basically said there's nothing I can do about it now... if it's sorry he's want to hear, then i'm sorry.
they then took off. Needless to say, me and my buddy were pretty relieved... I didn't think we were get out of it without some sort of confrontation with these guys.
So... there's my way longer than I planned on version of my road rage story
