I hope I get there,, I was the victim of a road rage situation this morning on my way to work ... now I keep having visons of the psycho, waiting for me with a gun.. I really didn't need this..

If anyone does see while I am there, feel free to come up and say hi. I look like this scary guy on my flickr account. I should print up some of the tags and have them on my gear so people can maybe see who I am.

Started with some guy tailgating me, then he passed on a long strait by the ,cut me off and locked ‘em up so I almost rear ended him..

Then at a stop sign he jumped out of his truck and came back screaming at me calling me an *****, because of the way I drive.I said what the speed limit, he said “oh the speed limit, then when I could pass you sped up”..I said yes sir, the speed limit changed… he told me to get out and he’d educate me..so I grabbed my phone, told him State Police was on speed dial and I’d be happy to call them to the scene, he reached in the car and hit my hand, sending my phone flying…at that point I told him he had just assaulted me, he said oh really ..get out and let me educate you..I said no thanks I’m not that stupid, but if you’d like to reach in the car again and hit me.. I’d be happy to sue you and own everything that is now yours..

At some point he hit my hand again trying to stop me from calling police.. then he took off, so I pulled over and called state police.... figured if he did it once, he either has or will do it again…
it was not a good way to start my day

He reached INTO your car and HIT YOUR HAND? Crazy! I once had something similar happen, although I might add that I didn't do anything to help the situation. I was driving and someone cut me off...so I casually told them they were "number 1" with my hand. They proceeded to slam on their brakes on a virtually empty highway (almost causing me to rear end them) and then get out, tell me I was an aggressive driver. I took out my cell phone, told him I would call 911 and let a cop come sort it out and after that, he got into the car and left.

I know I didn't help the situation any with the hand gesture, but as a 19 year old college student at the time---it was scary! From then on, I haven't flipped anyone the bird, it's not worth it...like you said, someone might be waiting with a gun next time.

Glad to hear everything is okay and try not to let it impact your trip...only a few more days and you're out of this cruddy northeast weather and in sunny FL enjoying Mickey the Mouse, what more could you ask for??

Yikes - stuff like that is just scary and crazy. You have no control over what some angry nut can do. Hope you'll be able to get it out of your mind quickly. In a few days you'll be in a happy place where you only have to worry about being cut off by the next stroller!

 

[caniswolfie]

I'm glad that the person decided to leave and not escalate any further. I hope I don't run into anyone like that on my drive down to Disney. You've earned a vacation from people like that.

thanks, now I'm having nightmares of strollers....

that thought is more terrifying than the road rage guy

 

[iluvdisnee]

Stroller Rage at WDW can be Deadly, LOL I've had my ankle almost ripped up on several occassions by stroller pushing maniacs!

We leave Next Tuesday -- a week from today. I posted above. I'll be with my Mother In Law and the 2 10 year old bratnesses below in my siggy.

Here's me:

Flickr way oversharpened this picture, but its me anyway.

I've been told I look a lot like this guy, so if you see a geek that looks like this, feel free to say hi..

just for the record I did get hit by a stroller, some guy showed up with 5 minutes to go in the 3 o'clock parade and rammed into me to get my attention and asked me to move so his daughter could see the parade
