Road Rage
Last night I went out to dinner with my wife and her friend. I was driving down Bollinger Canyon Rd. and there is some construction on the left side with one lane being closed. I'm driving about 45mph and I am about 500 feet from where these orange cones are set up to get traffic to merge to the right into a single lane. I turn on my right signal, check my mirrors and notice a white Acura MDX SUV coming up behind me in the right lane. I don't have much time to merge over so you would think that the person in the SUV would slow down and give me enough room to get over. At least that is what a "normal" person would do. Apparently the driver of this particular SUV wasn't "normal". Instead she speeds up. I am forced to slam on my breaks. I feel the ABS kick in and start pulsating. I come to a complete stop just barely missing the cones. They were only rubber cones but if it had been a concrete barrier, things could have been much worse. She ends up flying by me without a care. I am so angry at this point, I hit the horn. I really wish I had a horn that was the whole steering wheel instead of the 2 little buttons. Slamming your whole hand onto the steering wheel is much more satisfying when you are angry then hitting a button. I hold the horn for at least 10 seconds. I was really pissed. I speed up and pull up along side her to give her a mean stare. She was on her cell phone! Stupid blonde lady!

I was holding in a fart at the time this happened. I was in the car with two girls so it wouldn't have been appropriate to let it go in the car. I was holding it in till I could get somewhere to let it out safely. (Don't act like you don't fart!) When I pulled up next to her, I wanted to roll down my window, stick my butt into her window and let that fart rip. That would have been sweet revenge.
I don't understand why people think that if they are in a car, they can be inconsiderate to anyone around them. They think that the protection of the steel and glass makes it so they can be jerks to everyone else. If I was in line at the grocery store, do you think that lady would have jumped in line in front of me? I really doubt it because she would have to look me in the eye as I stared her down instead of talking on her cell phone and ignoring me like she did in the car not to mention the fact that I might have slapped her across the face if she was standing right in front of me.
So if you are ever driving down Bollinger Canyon Rd. and see a blonde lady driving a white Acura MDX, fart in her window for me.
