Road Rage
I'm driving home from work yesterday when road rage happened to me. I don't know what the ladies problem was. Maybe she was having a bad day, maybe she lost the connection to her cell phone while she was texting and driving or maybe her "crackers aren't fully toasted", but here was the situation. I live on the street corner of a busy street in Billings. Going the speed limit of 35, I slow down and turn my turn signal on and slow down to turn into my driveway which faces the busy street. (I've always thought that going 35 while turning into your driveway is not the safest vehicle move!) As I'm making the turn into the driveway, the lady behind me speeds around me and flipped me off. As she races off down the street at 50 mph, I got out of my pickup and just stood there for a second. What did I do wrong? Nothing. I used my turn signal, I slowed as I approached the driveway. Like I said at the beginning of the piece, I think she has a problem. Or maybe she actually knows me and it was how she feels about me and not my driving! I think I'll start carrying a water pistol just in case. If I use the other item I'm carrying I might end up someplace with 3 hots and cot.
