I am so friggin' fired up there are not words to descirbe it. I have never felt road rage like I did tonight. I almost hit 3 different cars thanks to one complete moron. And I'm trying to stay calm and be good. Gist of the story-its raining, and some moron decides that, when I'm within 20 feet of them, they want to turn right in front of me. So I slam the brakes, lock 'em up, slide, avoid them by about 2 inches, weave to the left, almost hit the car that was sitting behind them, correct to the right, still sliding, correct to the left, still sliding, about hit a parked car.
I suppose I should be thankful that I didn't smack right into the asses that turned in front of me (as I just spent a boatload on new brakes, and the damage to my car would probably have been quite hefty) AND that I didn't hit a parked car due to the jackass either.
And the place they were turning?? A local pub. They were in a fired-ass hurry to turn into a fucking bar. Give me a break people. Its only a block away--you have no idea how tempted I am to go back and key the HELL out of their car. But--Vegas coming up, I don't need that kind of bad kharma. I'm also tempted to do a stakeout (this is my sister's idea) in sis's car, get their license plate, and then, when they leave, call the GRAB DUI folks on 'em.
Again, don't really need that kind of kharma hanging around, right?
But MAN it sucks to stop breathing for about 30 seconds! Thats about the biggest adrenaline rush I've had in a while.

Almost getting into accident is almost worse than getting into them. At least, if you did hit something, htere would have been an end result. Sorry to hear it.
