The other day while I was passing a tractor-trailer on the highway, a car came up behind me, tailgated, flashed his lights and beeped his horn repeatedly. I wasn't pacing the truck. I was doing at least seventy, and it took less than ten seconds to pass the big rig. Apparently that was way too much time for the impatient nitwit behind me to wait.
I pulled over into the right lane when I could do so safely. A blue Toyota Prius with a Jesus "fish" bumper sticker sped past. Really? Is this how Jesus would have treated his fellow motorists?
This evening, I saw a yellow pickup truck pass a bunch of cars doing 100 miles per hour on the shoulder blowing a huge cloud of dust in his wake. Earlier today, an Audi tailgated me so closely that I could feel his breath on the back of my neck.
Those were isolated incidents. I can't count the number of aggressive idiots that I've seen in the past few days.
Come on, people! It's Christmas! Some of us would like to get home safely and enjoy the holidays with our loved ones. We don't need a bunch of selfish, impatient maniacs spewing road rage and putting fellow travelers in danger. Put your ego in check and stop trying to kill people. It's not nice!
