My Road Rage Experience Today (in Florida, of course)

[Samurai_Writer]

So... driving down U.S. 1 around 10am. Late for work because I am sick as a dog and just got through with a doctor's appointment. I'm driving along with the flow of traffic, passing the /really/ slow people. This camero behind me keeps cutting through traffic, and finally passes me, only to slam on his brakes because of a car going slow in his lane. He almost hits the car, then tries to swerve into my lane just ahead of me (there is not enough room for him).

I lay on the horn (because I wanted him to realize I was there and I saw what he was doing!). What does he do? Starts giving me that hand gesture (and his girlfriend is doing it too) and yelling at me through the closed window. Good thing I couldn't hear him.

I've been sick since Friday and am REALLY not in the mood, ya know? So I 'hand gesture' him back. I mean, who's the one driving recklessly and acting like a maniac? Not me! Well, that REALLY pisses him off. He cuts across 2 lanes of traffic and peels out, all the time hand gesturing me and yelling at me.

Oh, the ironic part of this? The one bumper sticker he had on his car -- "An Army of One". The bumper sticker on my car (which he clearly saw as he rode my bumper)? "Iraq is Arabic for Vietnam".

Just another day in Freeper Florida.

1. Never gesture back

His NRA sticker is probably on the rear bumper and you wont see it until too late

2. Stun batons

are great for situations such as those.
