Recent road-rage post-Election incident with a Freeper

[zulchzulu]

I was driving to Milwaukee from Madison (with Kerry-Edwards stickers still on the car) and was being obnoxiously tailed by some asshole in a bigass truck (vs. my Honda Civic) and I decided to flip the brakes for a second to get him off my 82-mph ass. It was a tap on the brakes for him to get a clue. The truck convoy in the passenger lane on this particular road under construction was a bit crowded and dangerous.

He flipped out. I saw in my rear-viw mirror some big, fat, stupid farmer hand son-of-a-bitch flipping the bird in a rage and driving even closer while he honked. The high-beam lights from his truck lit my car's interior like we were under a spotlight. And I am going 83mph.

I moved to the middle lane and let him pass.

He then went ahead of me in the middle lane and slammed his brakes so hard that I had to quickly go to the passing lane in order to not have a collision. Let's just say that the passengers in my car were petrified.

What saved me from seeing how stupid he was driving and having a focal point to avoid his vehicle at 80mph was the Bush/Cheney bumpersticker on his bumper and the three yellow ribbons stuck nearby.

It could have been pretty fucked up. The Bush/Cheney bumpersticker saved me from certain death with a drunken Freeper. It's a good thing I got the added adrenal gland rush from the utter hatred at seeing that logo on a vehicle.

He then sped away. I reached for my video camera but he was too far ahead to make any difference. I wanted to catch up with the sob, but he must have turned off the exit where the Walmart was.

Probably off to his job.
