Watch your back

I scared someone today. I didn't mean too, but I sure enjoyed it.

I was driving home from work today. Minding my own business when this stupid SUV tried to take me out...not once, but twice. I mean the guy clearly wanted to switch lanes, but like I said I was chugging along minding my own business. I would have known I was in his blind spot if he put on his blinker to indicate that he as switching lanes...but no. He veered into my lane and swerved back and than did it again. I layed on my horn mostly to let him know I was there. (I am from VT where we only beep when we know you, so honking my horn in anger is completely unnatural for me). Anyway, He switched lanes and got off at the next exit. Since my gas light was on, I also got off at the next exit. Gas is cheaper at this exit. He turned right off the exit, I did too- to get to the gas station. He turned left into the gas station. I put my left blinker on. I would have never said anything to this guy. The bottom line is there are two gas stations across the street from each other. The one on the left is $0.05 cheapers. Although I thought about using the other gas station to avoid confrontation I decided out of principle I would buy the cheaper gas. I pulled into the gas station, the SUV immediately pulled out. HA! I think he thought I as following him.

I pumped my gas and got back in my car. I felt some satisfaction that his stupid driving had at least forced him to spend a little extra cash at the pump. I mean I saved myself at least $0.50...
