I am Evil

Yesterday, the kids and I were coming back from the store on a semi-rural road near my home. For no obvious reason as there was not a single car behind me, this jackass pulls from a driveway along the road right in front of me. As a rule, I detest when people do this. To make matters worse the individual who did this decided to drive about 15 mph slower than I was going at the time. I am not sure what power trip he was trying to pull, but I wasn't biting. Well at least I wasn't going to get mad about it.

For my own amusement, rather than do the polite thing and slow down to his speed, I took my foot off the gas but didn't apply the brake. My car coasted gently behind his until I was right up on his bumper. Only then did I tap my brake to get down to his speed. This move got the rise I hoped for from the other driver. In frustration, he slowed down even further. I am guessing that he thought this would get me angry; he was wrong.

It just made me want to piss him off even more. I then proceeded to ride closely behind him for the next mile or so. After his previous manuvers, I am assumed this would just enrage him even further and I was correct. I could see his head bobbing and arms flailing at his wife in the passenger seat as we approached the light at the end of the street. At the light he went to turn left and knowing what was certainly coming next I decided to go out of my way and turn right so that I could pull up next to him. Just before I did, I told the kids to smile and wave at the car next to us. On cue, they did. I, myself, put on my best shit eating grin and waved too. As we got right next to him, he was just as I expected him to be, face all beet red and middle finger in the air. When his wife, saw my kids she too turned beet red from embarrassment. I'd certainly be proud my spouse flipped off two little kids just because he wanted to be an asshole and cut someone off.
