So, coming home from the game tonight, heading south on 3 towards Farmington... come up on a white f350 going slightly under the speed limit. We come up on a passing zone, so I turn on my blinker, move over and pass. No big deal right? Apparently this guy has an ego bigger than his truck!
After I pass, he turns on his brights and accelerates to tailgate me (which I just laugh at and shrug off, I have electrochromatic mirrors so he's not blinding me like he thinks anyway so whatever gets him off). I just go about my drive, he falls back after a minute or so, no big deal. I come in my turn, so I turn on my blinker and go into the turn lane, after I turn, I notice he accelerated again and follows me to the turn... ok, I seem to have a psycho moron wanting to follow me home now, because I had the audacity to dare to pass him oon the highway.
I'm not going to take him right to my house, I'm not stupid, so I cut through the neighborhood and watch him follow through right behind me, and made like I took a shortcut to 50 East out of Farmington, bypassing a couple stoplights. After I get going on 50 East, he apparently doesn't like that I didn't stop at home as nice and neat as he hoped, so he starts tailgating me again and decides he instead wants to throw crap forward out his window towards my car. Throwing at highway speeds forward doesn't work very well though... cause you know physics, wind and stuff.
He then figures out his error after a couple tries, so instead accelerates to fly past me, which I'm not offended if someone tries to do, so I let him go, but then he chucks a can with soda or something in it out at my car as he goes by... my car gets splashed, but the can misses. I then say screw it, call 911 and follow the guy, who is now turning at random trying to get me off his tail, as I inform the operator exactly where I'm going and turning etc... unfortunately I did not get the guys plate as he passed, and he wad driving at speeds beyond safety, I wasn't going to go flying down a dirt road at 75mph trying to follow. He was obviously putting distance on me as a result, but I was still managing to track him for some time, but I noticed when he thought he was losing touch with me, he was attempting to turn off his lights as he was driving, hoping it would cause me to lose him.
Eventually, he reached an intersection when i was down a hill behind a ways, so I couldn't see which way he turned, and after he turned, he did the lights off thing again so I legit lost him.
What I want to know, what is the fricking POINT?
People driving, doing their own thing... someone passes you, why is that so offensive if they passed in standard legal fashion? What is the point of going off so much that you feel you need to do chicken crap stuff and then, since at that point, you know you acted like such an idiot, you have to then drive like a maniac and do dangerous things to get yourself out of your own moronic self created scenario?
WHY?
I just wish I could have gotten his plate.
