some lady road raged on me thinking i honked at her..

wow. some people have a hair trigger.

i was pulling (a left turn) into a parking lot and traffic started to stack up. some cars courteously held back to leave me room to pull in..as i went, one car kept coming..and one of the stopped cars instinctively honked to tell them to stop since i was coming.

some lady in the parking lot doing a crazy ass u-turn in front of me..went berzerk. she and i were in no danger of hitting since i saw her early. she heard the horn, assumed it was me and started flipping me off..i didnt even react..she followed me and started taking pics of my plate. i was just blissfully driving around looking for a parking place...

damn...talk about getting caught in a cross fire. all i wanted was a teriyaki rice bowl..fuk.

Teriyaki rice bowl is the root of all evil!

This one is classic. It's just a shame he wasn't facing the other way, it would have "fixed the glitch" and ended the line.

Arrr....Darwin, thou heartless (but very amusing) %^&*.

Console yourself with the knowledge that sooner or later she will "road rage" against some-one less inclined to be chill about it.

Dude, she was probably just ticked because you weren't sharing your bud! You should have offered her a few tokes and all would have been copacetic!

Yeah, if you're in a car that looks fast or sounds fast, that is 10x more likely to happen. In my old neighborhood, I've had people do that while I was going the speed limit. Then I've watched them shoot by my house in their appliance because the mufflers and engines are whisper quiet by comparison.

Life is like that Vash. Good thing we have Wayne's message board so we can share stories of the crazies with normal people. Otherwise we would think crap like this is personal and get all incensed about it. Crazy people do crazy schit. Whatta ya gonna do?

I have noticed road rage has increased since the 80's, and it seems to be getting worse. I wouldn't worry about her taking photos of your tags, but do keep an eye out your front window though! LOL
