So yesterday (sunday) was interesting. This story involves driving; valerie and I were on our way to Beths. Let me describe the road we were on. It was a 2 lane road, approaching a red light. Both lanes turn left, the right lane can also go straight. A right turn lane opens up just ahead of where we were.

Approaching the red light, this big SUV comes up in the far left lane, cuts across in front of us, and then over to the right turn lane. Now, the immediate reaction … breaks+horn+finger. I took care of the first two; co-pilot val took care of the rest. :)

As we’re passing this guy– one finger salute & horn serenade– he’s giving this “how dare you honk at me because I cut you off.. I drive a SUV in Oakland County” stare, with his index finger pointing at us, in case we forgot who he just cut off.

So, anyway– we get to the red light, and Mr. “i wet my pants because your horn scared me as I cut you off” gets out of the right turn lane, and gets behind me. He look all pissy in his mirror, and he reaches down toward his cup holder. Out comes a pen & paper, and a cell phone. Its amazing how dumb people are. First of all, if he did call the cops, who’s going to believe this crazy guy in a SUV. Worst case, they’ll tell the cops to look out for a Silver Dodge Ram that just got cut-off…. errr honked his horn. Second– there is no second.

So, this guy follows us for about a mile, and let me remind you that he was going to turn right, but he got behind me and followed me in the exact opposite direction. Once I lost him in some heavy Rochester Road traffic, he turned into a gas station & went back along his merry ‘cut-you-off-and-call-the-cops-in-my-SUV’ way.

And thats my story. The guy cut us off and then got mad because we honked.

Still haven’t received a phone call from the Rochester Hills Police. They must be backed up with other ‘im-mad-because-he-honked-at-my-bad-driving’ cases.

Stupid yuppies.
