Probably 15 years ago while on a freeway interchange, some guy behind me on a cloverleaf whipped past after we merged onto the freeway then slowed down in the left lane to match the speed of a semi. It was clearly intentional as the road was otherwise relatively empty and he kept pace with the truck for a good 10 miles, blocking me in.
To this day I have no idea what his problem was, and part of me feels bad for him because… what normal happy person just randomly takes time out of their day to fuck with someone to thay extent!? But I remember it clearly, so it obviously pissed me off to a degree, yet it feels really petty to still think about it, so idk.
I remember going on a trip when I was younger, and my (also young) friend was driving. At one point we got onto a stretch of highway and he met speed with a slow or speed limit vehicle like that, kept going for miles.
I don’t remember what prompted it, maybe an aggressive driver we encountered somewhere and were able to block in, maybe just because it’d be funny. But I do remember he’d tell that story for years, and we’d laugh about traffic being backed up further than we could see. Looking back, such a jerk move. I didn’t argue against it at the time, but now I’m half surprised we didn’t get a ticket. It’s kind of a safety hazard.
Come to think of it, that was around 15 years ago. >.>
Did you drive a flashy vehicle, by chance? I happen to have a bright yellow car and the number of people it seems to make irrationally mad should be a disclaimer at purchase. People are dumb. Including me for buying this yellow car I can’t afford to replace.
That could be it. It was a turbocharged compact (back before literally everything was a 4cyl turbo), though not externally very flashy. So maybe he was just one of those guys who sported a perpetual hste-boner for imports.
