I had a funny driving experience today with a psycho chick. I was pulling out of a parking lot onto a road that only had 1 lane each direction and a chicken lane. It was hard to see because there was a large semi parked along the road, so when I checked, I saw a car a ways back but figured I had enough time to pull out and get going. Boy, was I wrong!
I realized right away that she was speeding quite fast and did not want to stop down, and she didn't! She decided to make her point of annoyance by flying into the chicken lane and passing me anyway. As she passed she glared at me, and flipped me off. I responded by honking because she was acting like an idiot. Well, that really ticked her off so she flipped on her hazard lights and slammed on her brakes! I of course slammed on my brakes and realized this chick really needed to chill out before she caused an accident. She then noticed a few cars wanting to pull out in front of her so she creeped forward and frantically motioned them to go while she and of course I waited! They were confused and waited but she kept motioning so they both went.
At this point I desperately wanted to pass her in the chicken lane but knew that one of the cars was pulling out to go left and needed the chicken lane since the other lane had cars in it (he truly wasn't planning to go yet but she insisted). Plus, I knew I had my kids in the car and needed to act better than this psycho girl! So I just started laughing and giving her the thumbs up. I kept saying, okay, you win, you win! My kids then started asking me why the car in front of me won and that made me laugh even more. However, the last thing I wanted was to get in an accident with this girl because I certainly did not want to meet her face to face!
We finally made it to a 4 lane road and she sped off in the other lane, I'm sure to wreak havoc on some other unsuspecting driver :)

Whenever I encounter a driver like that I write down their license plate number, then post a public berating on Craigslist and Facebook. I'm sure the involved party will never read it, but it sure makes me feel better!
Grrr, drivers like that make me mad especially because you had kids in the car. If she was in such a hurry she wouldn't have pulled over and been a dork. I think there should be a road rage hotline you can call to report to because I have seen many close calls on the road from stupid drivers.
