So, I haven't posted on this thing in ages, but last night's incident deserves writing. Anyway, I'm going to get right to the story.
I'm driving home from Julia's at 9:55 PM. I get in the turning lane to turn into my neighborhood, and I take the turn sharp. Well, when I cut the turn sharp, I went into the oncoming traffic lane...but it wasn't a big deal because I didn't see anyone coming. Well, all of a sudden, this guy going easily 60 mph comes flying through my neighborhood as I'm turning in. We nearly hit, but I swirve over to avoid hitting him. My mistake--I should have been more careful. Almost getting in a head on collision should be scary enough, but that isn't the end of the story. This guy proceeds to throw on his reverse, do a 180 degree turn, and starts coming after me. So, I'm like, oh shit, this guy is pissed as hell. So, I try calling home and no one is there. I drive by my house and don't even slow down. Then I call Julia. Well, I drive around my circle in my neighborhood, and I come to the stoplight to exit the neighborhood. Luckily, there are some people loitering this oil change place right beside the redlight. All of a sudden, I see this redneck from hell get out of the car behind me and come to my window. I'm royally freaking out. I'm still talking to Julia. He comes flying up to the window, points his finger at me, and yells "You need to learn how to drive. I will rip you out of this god damn car and wip your fucking ass." At this time, he notices I'm on the phone, looks at the people over in the parking lot and gets back in his car. This guy had a Nascar racing hat on, huge ass glasses, and like three teeth in his head. I turned right, back on the main drag, and went slow to see if he was going to follow me, but he turned left. I stayed on the phone with Julia and drove back to her house and talked for a while. This guy had to be drunk out of his mind and have road rage like hell. It was so crazy.
Anyway, I just wanted to write that down before I forgot all the details. Thank God I'm still alive. And also, thank God I'm leaving this shit hole of a town in Tennessee. Yay for both things!
