What the hell is the matter with people?


I live with my best friend (Rita) & her husband (Gary). She is a two-time cancer survivor, is on disability, and my age, 58. Her husband is 71--he's in great shape, but still 71. We share a vehicle, a Jeep Liberty. Gary was driving me to work this morning when a guy in a big ass, shiny white full-size F-150 pick-up truck came out of nowhere, switching lanes from left to right, almost hitting us. Gary honked the horn to let him know we were RIGHT THERE, nothing out of the ordinary. The guy lost it, yelling obscenities, gesturing, the whole nine yards. We were in the left lane, he was in the right lane. He swerved that truck right in front of us & slammed on his brakes. Gary had to swerve into the turn lane to avoid a collision. I said, "This is bullshit. Let's get off the street." He was going hit either us or somebody else if we had stayed on that very busy street. Gary pulled into a Walgreen parking lot & the guy pulled in behind us, parking diagonally, blocking us in. I immediately called 911. He got out of his truck & charged us. Gary's door was unlocked, unfortunately, & the guy pulled Gary out of the Jeep & threw him to the ground. I bolted out & started screaming at him, "What the hell is wrong with you? STOP IT!" He started coming after ME. I told him, quietly, "Just try it." I don't know why, but he stopped. By then 2 cruisers were there & diffused the situation. I was 30 minutes late for work. Gary is pressing assault charges, but the guy lied his ass off, so it's pretty much a he said he said situation because there were no "independent witnesses." I'm just thankful that asshole wasn't carrying. I am sure he would've shot us both. Gary's back is sore, but I got to them before he threw any punches.

I got to work, but decided to take a few hours of vacation this afternoon. I'm glad I have a nice supervisor! People in this country are scary and out of control. Be careful out there.


Funny how they remember line for line with these stories.

No NRA or Romney2012 stickers on the truck, but some cops did jump out of their patrol cars.

Might be a bit of an oops. I think the DUmmie was going for a guns are bad post, but the DUmmie ended up with a thank God for cops post. I don't think that's acceptable at DU unless the cops were black homosexual muslims who had just offed a white, straight, Christian kid.

Usually when you live with your best friend you are a moocher.
Your mooching begins to strangle the friendship.
Soon you are not friends living together.
Then, soon after you are not living together.
Then the friendship starts to mend.

Who was the DUmmie who had relatives in a road rage incident recently and one of the relatives were killed?  Was she trying for that type of bouncy?

I'm confused.  Were there not two other people in the vehicle that saw what happened?

It's a bouncy, so let's help the DUmmy tell the story!

The cracker pulled a Starsky & Hutch turn in the middle of the street, almost smashing into a Prius with a 'Coexist' sticker on the bumper. I could see the white-hot Rethuglican hatred in his gap-toothed snarl, as he barrelled over the curb and across the grass toward us. I stood my ground as he screeched to a stop mere inches from me. I knew my Rainbow Pride t-shirt added fuel to the fire of his fury, but I.didn't.care.

The original bouncy wasn't too enjoyable.
But watching all my fellow cavers analyze it makes the thread worth it.
