A Car On The Road???

2007 Reader Submission
Pending Acceptance

I was driving my car to drop off some coffee to my boyfriend at work. I am going about sixty down the road toward a green light. There is a man on the sidewalk he decides it would be the perfect time to cross over four lanes of oncoming traffic with no crosswalk while my car is coming at him. I see him and start to slow down he is just getting out of my lane when I honk the horn to tell him to move. Instead of moving he stops turns around walks toward my car, which is still coming at him and puts his foot out (what are you going to do trip my car?) I slam on the brakes and he leans back and flings himself forward. He spat on my car. I turned my wheel, gave him a nice gesture and went around him. Next time buddy the car will hit you and if you didn't figure it out before it will win in a fight.

I'm glad you're venting your road rage here, Sonya! Living (and driving) in NYC, this happens to me quite a bit, and I drive a light truck! I always wonder when such mooks will get theirs! Anyway, I can certainly relate to this and will definitely keep it as an example of the stupidity and entitlement of some people! (PS he could be an insurance fraudster, but unfortunately one cannot collect once one is dead)

Sonya, thanks for sending the story. Gave me my first real laugh of the day! The sheer stupidity of sticking his foot out, combined with the mental cartoon or your car flipping end over end as it is tripped, was too much and I laughed out loud which of course brought stares from my co-workers. Keep on driving and sending these stories!
