Being Tailgated...grrrr
Date published: November 17, 2011
I commute EARLY in the morning. This time of year, it's dark. The stars are out. You get the picture. So, I was on my way in this morning, almost here, and a car was behind me, jammping right up on my rear bumper. I was not driving at a snail's pace either. What made it worse is he had not only his lights illuminating the interior of my car, but 2 halogen fog lights on also.
So I pulled into the driveway leading to my building, and he is hot on my bumper, still. I pulled around the back of my building and saw him go to the parking lot of the building next door. Evidently that company has a 6:30 am shift starting, so many folks were arriving, so I decided to have a chat with my tailgater. I found him sitting in his car, the music thumping so loudly, the chasis of his vehicle was cvibrating. Sheesh. Finally, after about a minute, he noticed me standing there, in the dark. I spoke.
I didn't go "Michael Douglas in Falling Down" on him, but I did tell him he was very rude and that kind of driving is dangerous. If something had come out and I had to jam on my brakes, that he would have rearended me, etc.
Maybe it went in one ear and out the other, but it made me feel good!
Blog is published randomly when I feel like it. It might not always be sunshine and kittens but I do my best to keep politics, religion, racial issues, or anything considered 'edgy' out ot if. If I can't sit and talk about it amongst a mixed group of people from all over the scope of humanity, you won't find it here, and if you do, please call me on it.
