GET OFF THE PHONE WHEN YOU ARE DRIVING.
So brand new car, owned it for maybe a total of 56 hours if that. Driving peacefully in a school zone, not speeding, and a Gold Taurus is off in the background. I’m in the Right Lane, it’s in the Left. She is speeding which really doesn’t phase me and I continue to rock out to my music. Ms. Taurus starts to pass me. I think nothing of it until I notice her merging into me… Her back window was in line with my front window. Not knowing where the horn is I slam on my breaks; she continues to merge and hits the sidewalk but doesn’t notice anything. I get back up tp speed but this time in the left lane since I’m planning on turning left anyway. About a mile down the road I meet up with the Taurus at a stop light. I glare but it woefully went unnoticed. Light turns green and I continue on my journey.
I hate riding side by side of cars. So I will speed up or slow down accordingly. Goldie does the traditional Cell Phone Driver move of not watching her speed. So when I sped up she did. When I slowed down she did. I realized I wasn’t going to win so I stayed at the speed limit. A bus pulls into the right lane where Goldie is and apparently she didn’t like that so she decides to merge into me again; this time full on. I honked my horn cause yeah I found it now…tried to hit my breaks but wasn’t going to make it, she was going to hit my new little baby. So I went up on the median to avoid her. Which worked. No idea if it dinted or scratched my rims or fender at this time.
I’m pissed now. Like really pissed. So pissed I went full on stalker this time staying right behind her. It’s hard to get me into Bloodthirst mode.. Normally only happens in a game but things had gone too far and I was furious. I worked up this huge argument in my mind so I could catch her at every angle when I was planning at yelling at her. Finally she pulls into the hospital parking lot. Great I won’t have to drag her far when I’m done with her. She gets out and I pull up and block her car in with mine.
I pop out of my car and just screamed at her. Told her the two times she almost hit me and how she almost hit a biker on the road. I then told her to look at the car she almost hit, It’s Brand New!! Do you know how much it would cost to fix that because I’ll be damned if I put a drop of Bondo on my new car. You would have had to buy me a brand new door, siding, fender and a paint job and yeah btw it isn’t basic black so that would be costly too. She just shrugged and said I didn’t hit it so what’s the matter? You were on the cell phone idiot! GET OFF since you can’t handle driving and talking at the same time. Fuck off is all she said and kept walking.
I got back in my car feeling somewhat defeated... then I saw her on the phone again so I followed her and laid on the horn. She was blocking my way out after all. She flipped me off as I slowly passed her, still hand firmly on the horn as I passed smiling. She hung up tossed the phone in her pants and that ended our lovely encounter. I'm not one to usually act like this but... When it involves something I really care about I become like a bear protecting her cub.
