re: Getting flipped the bird...

There are crazy people out there. Be very careful.

Pulled out in front of a guy once and he rolled up next to me on my left at the next stop light. He rolled down his passenger window, leaned over, and pointed what looked like a 44 mag right at me. I said "man I'm sorry, don't shoot, I was in a hurry". He looked crazy angry but didn't shoot. I let him get way in front before I sped up. That was in FL where people seem more uptight.

Another time in my younger days I was headed back to college late at night and some crazy kept passing me then slowing down. After several episodes I decided to kick his azz, pulled off on the shoulder, and he pulled over behind me. I got out and walked back to his car and told him to get out so I could kick his a__. He stayed quite and suddenly I was looking down the barrel of a pistol pointed at my head. I freaked and grabbed the gun with both hands but he fell back and ripped it out of my hands. I dropped to the ground, ran back to my car, and hauled azz.

These days at an older age I'm a lot more relaxed and gladly give way to people who seem in a hurry. I even take my time and obey speed limits.
