Cars in one lane. I get in the shoulder and partially in the grass to pass because I am turning right. Literally idling. Not putting them in danger or even close to them. They try to jerk over and block me.

We made eye contact and dude was totally losing his shite like I killed his dog. I didn’t flip the bird or anything. I just made a “wtf are you doing face”. Dude parked his car and started to get out as I passed and turned. Dude proceeds to get in his little car and tries to follow me. I pull into the car wash as originally planned. This psycho sits there like he’s gonna wait for me. But when I got out of the wash he wasn’t there.

My whole point is, why do people let a questionable driving decision that had absolutely no effect on them bother them to this degree? I get it if someone like ram you off the road or hit your vehicle and was attempting to get away but dude come on.

Even then it makes no sense. Way too many crazies out there to try and confront strangers by following them.

What are they going to do? Kick your arse?

I’m just saying like this dude tries that on a legit psycho and he might get killed. People want to die over a person partially driving in the shoulder to turn? They wonder why our murder rate in the country is so high. We have an idiotic population .

Get shot. People think they’re so hard all it takes is fricking with the wrong person. It’s always the person trying to be a hero or not minding their business.

Too many butt hurt people that don't have any control in their lives. There only sense of power is when they are driving.

This happened in suburbia. Yuppie white guy in a small Prius. He probably saw the F150 and felt insecure or something.

Yeah I wouldn't be road raging in Texas - assuming that's where this happened based on your handle.

Lot of guns in that state. And a lot of laws to protect gun owners too. Stupid games, stupid prizes is in play.

It depends on which Texas you’re referring to. There’s suburbia Texas. Full of soy boys driving Teslas with their vape pens. Then there’s real Texas full of baws driving 1 tons that you definitely don’t want to mess with. Suburbia Texas is as soft as they come. The people are the absolute worst. So Vanilla and bland. I really don’t even consider it part of Texas. Much like how people don’t count North LA as part of Louisiana

People who try to control what’s going on behind them eventually run into something in front of them.

when you see 10 cars in a row do what you did to cut in front ahead of you, then you will understand. for every person like you, there are 50 assholes doing it just to jump ahead of everyone else

No excuse, but he's dealing with issues that have nothing to do with you. You just were in the wrong place at the wrong time....People are stressed out like I never seen before...
