Was making my usual commute to BR this morning from Ascension. Coming up on the Prairieville exit. I’m in the middle lane, cars in the left lane, and cars getting onto I10 in the right lane, which that lane does not end. Well some bozo getting onto the interstate from Prairieville tries to skip the merge line and get into the middle lane. I get it, people are driving slow and you want to go around them. But the issue was I was in that lane he was trying to get into and is about to hit me until I blow my horn. He gets back over so that he doesn’t hit me.

I end up passing by him and he gets right behind me and starts tailing me and keeps trying to go around me but can’t because there are cars all over the place. I’m going 85 in the left lane too. Passing everyone. I end up passing everyone and get over to just let him go about his way. I then get behind him in the left lane, and I’m prolly two car lengths behind him, and then he hits his brakes and starts brake checking me really hard. Now I’m pissed. I end up going around him because frick that shite, and get in front of him, then he gets to the side of me and starts making gun signs with his hand, and is acting like he’s shooting me. Then when I get to my exit, he jumps over from the left lane to follow me on my exit, then ends up getting back on the interstate a minute later. Was just trying to scare me I guess, which I was prepared. These city folks in BR don’t know how us country folks in the AP are. We’re always packing.

Just kinda wild and I don’t understand if I did something wrong, or if this is just one of those crazy arse people. He did have a crazy look in his eyes, drove a shitty car, and it had a Mississippi license plate on it.

Don’t do that. I had several guys in Baton Rouge pulls guns on I-12 on myself and my kids after they got over two lanes to get off at Sherwood. It was raining so I bumped the horn when they cut us off. They then got back on the interstate and three guys rolled down the windows and pulled guns out. It just isn’t worth it. People kinda suck.

I quit playing road games a long time ago. Too many unhinged people running loose these days.

I just get out their way and keep driving.

Best thing to do is to just get away from lunatics like that. You never know who you’re dealing with or what stupid thing they might do.

You live in the 5th most densely populated parish in the state. Calm down.

ETA: You said the guy got on the interstate at Prairieville, but you assume he's from the city?

Moral of the story:

People are idiots and don't know how to act.

Shenanigans like his BS could lead to all kinds of unforeseen circumstances and none of them have good outcomes.

Be nice. Be patient. It isn't hard.

and yet you did nothing when he was threatening you?
why didn't you swerve into him and run him into the wall or median when he was on the side of you making gun signs with his hands? Sounds like you're a big AP country pussy.

That’s odd, MS drivers are usually the ones parked in the left lane driving slower than everyone else.
It’s understandable to get upset but it’s not worth it. Some people driving can barely get out of their own way much less any one else’s.
