Almost Hit From Behind
Taking a break from politics for a rant on the road. There’s always parked people to find or find me while driving. On my way home from work on a single lane highway, another driver wanted to get up close and personal. Behind me was a woman in an SUV only inches away from my bumper. She was so close, I could see her hair color, facial features and that she had her cell phone glued to her ear, so really driving badly one-handed!
Even if I wanted to, I couldn’t travel any faster because of cars in front of me. At one point the cars in front of me braked, as did I, but the idiot behind me almost didn’t slow in time.
So, what does it really accomplish? Do you think you’re really intimidating me into going faster - nope. Do you really think you’ll get there faster - nope. You might accomplish an accident and then you’d be crying “poor me” after you get hurt or have to pay a higher insurance bill. You probably wouldn’t care if you hurt someone else, since you’re so selfish.
(Deep breath) OK, now I feel better, thanks.

That driver sounds like a jerk. Sadly there are lots of them on the road.

Sometimes I spray my windshield washer so all my winter dirt goes on the tailgator. Is that wrong?
