Do you ever wonder why people tailgate when driving? Today I was taking a highway exit at 60 mph and this guy in an SUV comes out of nowhere and is so far up my ass I can not see his bumper or most of his grill. So what do I do? Slow down to 40. I can see him in the mirror making hand gestures and his mouth moving so who knows what he has to say.
At the end of the ramp we each go our separate ways, but that is not the end. Shortly afterwards I stop in a shopping center to get a cup of coffee and who drives pass as I am parking? The jerk in the SUV. As I get out he parks a few rows over and gets out giving me the “look” so of course I give it back to him, but I am not going to bother saying anything. I don’t scare easy, don’t give a shit and all I want to do is get my coffee and get to work. We walk in the same direction and he meets up with a guy and girl sitting outside the coffee shop. As I come out he says something to me about my driving and that I was lucky. Lucky for what is what I thought?
At this point I was pissed and assumed he had courage now that he was with his friends. My reply… “FUCK OFF pussy. You’re real brave now that you have friends around.” I was in no mood to take his shit and someone was going to get hurt if this escalated. Now I no I will get hurt in the process, but the difference in me and them is I know this and I am willing to get hurt if they decide to pursue this. I am not a punching bag for candy asses. So I conveyed this and a few other things to him, his friend, and the young lady standing there.
In the end they sat back down and nobody got hurt. Lucky for them. Three against one would mean I could throw hot coffee in his face, beat them with a metal chair and use what ever was available as a weapon and get away with it.
All I wanted to do was drive to work and stop for Starbucks along the way. Sometimes the stupidity of people absolutely amazes me.
