Before I start this post, I have to admit that I suffer from a mild case of Road Rage. You know, I'll curse and flip off a bad driver, but I won't chase them down or anything. I've been known to almost beat someone's head in with a bat, but those were special circumstances.
So yesterday, as I'm driving home from work, I'm stopped at a red light. I'm on a smallish street, mostly just one lane, but at this particular juncture, there's also a left-turn lane. The light turns green, but it's all backed up so I have nowhere to go. I stay where I am b/c I'm not one of those complete assholes who doesn't care about blocking the intersection. As soon as the cars in front of me start inching up, I ease up on the brake to move forward. What happens? This VAN who was in the left-turn lane, zooms up, swervs into my lane and cuts me off. OOOOOHH, I was FURIOUS!! I honked, I gave him the double fingers, but I wasn't satisfied. He was driving some company van - a flooring company - so I called the number on the back of his van and reported his ass to his boss. I calmed myself down so I didn't sound like a total lunatic. Here's the conversation:
ME: Hi, I'm driving behind one of your vans and I must say, the driver is being extremely reckless.
Manager: Oh my...I'm sorry to hear that.
ME: Yes, and I just thought I'd call because I really felt that you have a right to know how your company is being represented out on the street.
Manager: Yes, definitely.
ME: Because, honestly, seeing how this guy behaves on the road, cutting people off, I would never take the chance of having him provide a service for me in my home. It's just too risky.
Manager: You're absolutely right. What's his license plate number?
ME: [I read off the numbers]
Manager: Well, I thank you very much for reporting this.
ME: You're very welcome. Have a great day.
[Hang up phone]
ME [shouting out window]: Ha, bitch! I hope you get fired!!!

Jen, that's why you should always keep a potato in the car.
You look very very nice today with that t-shirt dress thingie. I applaud you, my Jenny Wren is growing up.
I am freaking out and you know why. FREAKING OUUUUTTTTT!!!!
I agree. I should have potatoed his ass.
You will stop freaking out. You have nothing to freak out about! You're thinking too much. Love you.
I would've done the same thing because...well, psycho is my middle name.
