if someone gave you the finger while driving?
I don't know why this is still bugging me. I had to run into town on Easter Sunday. I took Route 5 through Saint Mary's City and did my usual slow down of 40 mph then 30 at the college. No one on the road at that particular time. Within minutes, a white Audi was on my rear, so close that I could have seen the color of the drivers eyes if not for the heavily tinted windows. (I'm probably exaggerating a little.) The vehicle continued to say right on my tail. I put my signal on to make a right onto Willows and very subtly raised my middle finger. It was just at door/window level, not a particularly angry middle finger, it was the I'm slighty annoyed with you middle finger. I'm of the opinion that there are degrees of middle fingers.
Anyhoo. The audi continued straight on route 5 and maybe 30 seconds later I looked in the rear view mirror and he was on my tail again. He then passed me on the right on the shoulder and brake checked me hard. My entire life passed before my eyes in that few seconds but I managed to miss him.
He then sped off and we all met down at the red light at Great Mills and Shangri La, which actually made me giggle.
Life lesson learned, Don't give people the finger and they won't try to kill you. Maybe.
