oops

I commute. Total, about an hour and 45 minutes, every day. Every single day I see drivers act like they're the only one on the road. Every single day, I see drivers doing their worst! Oh, ok, maybe not every day. But a good 4 out 5. Frequently, and by that I mean several times a month, I think to myself...I've been so lucky. I mean statistically, I'm bound to get into an accident sooner or later!
Uh huh. My day came. You know that horrible feeling you get when you look in your rearview mirror and for a split second you think, they aren't gonna stop? Yeah, that feeling? Ugh. It's worse when they actually DON'T stop!!! I just knew it too. I had been watching him for a couple miles because he'd get right up my ass, then back off. 3 or 4 times. Then, when traffic ahead of me was stopping, as I started to slow down I looked back again and thought, he's not gonna stop. So I stopped a little further back from the car in front of me, just in case. Then I looked back again and thought, yep, and closed my eyes. BAM! Jackhole. I can't even tell how ANGRY I WAS! Boy did I chew him out!!! I know that was kind of dumb - he could've been a real jerk, or on drugs! But I was SO ANGRY!!! whew!
There were a couple brief moments when I felt bad for him, but they passed quickly. Here's the front of his car

My car will need a new bumper and right tail light but I think that's all. I love my car. I figure I'm good now for another 20 years :-) Thank heavens. That was so stressful!
