I'm still shaking (adrenaline rush). What is wrong with some people? I'm driving to work this morning and some idiot in a truck is riding everyone's tail, switching lanes every few seconds, cutting in and out of traffic. He switches lanes right on my a@@, so I tap the brakes. He lays on the horn, pulls up beside me and starts swerving into my lane as if he's going to ram me(he's holding a cup of coffee by the way, so apparently this is his normal drive into work?). So I slow down and turn on a side street and of course he follows me, lights on high beam, laying on the horn. So I floor it, he does the same, I let off and when he gets up beside me again, I make a u-turn, make a number of other quick turns and lose him.
It amazes me how this guy is ready to kill me because he's pissed off that I reacted to him riding me! This kind of thing has happened many times before, and these aren't just young hot-heads drunk after partying all night. These are 30-40 year olds on their way to work? What was he going to do if he caught me? I've had them get out of their car and bang on my window trying to get me out of the car! Do they ever stop to think that I might have a gun sitting in the glove box and might use it in self-defense? It makes me want to spend the money to get my license to carry (we can in Texas with a permit).
Thanks for letting me vent!
