Decided to take the longer way home today because nothing eases my nerves after a long day of working with toddlers like a long drive with my favorite tunes.
I'm on a main road that is 45 mph, most do about 50. I'm doing 45 as there's really no one behind me, and hey, my favorite song just came on. I notice I'm quickly gaining on a new black sedan in front of me, and end up slowing down to 30. Now a car is quickly gaining on me, so I decide at the next passing zone I'm going to get around this guy.
Thankfully a zone opens up, and it's safe for me to do so, so I go around the DoodleBop. Keep in mind that I'm passing at 35 mph, not flooring it and raeg-speeding saying "HOHO LOOK HOW SLOW YOU IS." Get a safe enough distance around him, signal, and pull back in. Textbook pass.
MEEP!MEEP!MEEP! Black sedan dude's blaring at me. I think "Whatever, he must be one of those 'How DARE you pass me' types" and think nothing more of it.
Except that he kept on following me and continues honking at me, even going so far as to pull up alongside me when our road turns into a four lane strip (with a mall, hotels, other stores and restaurants; main drag sort of deal) and honking with rude gestures, waving, and a lovely sign saying "Get off the road (spelled like 'aunt')". Every time we stopped at a light he'd be in the next lane over and would pull up close and continue honking the horn. One time I did look over at him, and tried so hard not to laugh at the bulldog faced old fart behind the wheel, jowls frowning so hard they were in his lap. Failed.
This did not help, Great Uncle Jiggly-Jowls kept up his pursuit in the right lane, much to my annoyance (and of those around him, whom he was swerving around so he could follow me so I could see just HOW ANGAREE he was). He was so engrossed in the chase, then all of a sudden he stops dead in the lane and throws on his left blinker. Turns out he needed to turn left onto Major Highway, and couldn't do so without being in my lane, but he was so busy harassing me he about missed it.
When I last saw him, he was still sitting in the right lane waiting to change lanes and no one was letting him by.
