    Default People confuse me sometimes

    Tonight on the way home from the store, I passed a man who was doing about 15 in a 30. As I easily passed him on my motorcycle, he blared his horn and flipped me off. I didn't return any gestures or even shake my head. As I pulled into my apartment complex, he again blared his horn.

    While I was talking to my wife in the parking lot, he pulls up. This man has followed me home and is yelling obscenities at me. I tell him I'm not interested then ignore him. He doesn't live in the apartment complex, he just wanted to come by and tell me how much of an asshole I am. Thankfully he never left his car and didn't make any sudden moves, otherwise the outcome might have been different.

    I would never dream of doing that to anyone, even the many people who have come close to killing me. You don't know what this person has and how sane they are. I could've been a nutter with a gun for all he knew.

    What do you guys think about this?

    I was going to, but he drove away too fast. I didn't want to approach him while he was stopped because all I had on me was a knife and I didn't want him to get the wrong idea.

    Quick, you did the right thing. However, in the state of Colorado that is known as Road Rage and if you did get the license plate number you could have notified the police and he would have been cited.

    thats right get the guy cited after he knows where you and the wife live! I don't think that's to wise a move.

    I keep *CSP on speed dial in my cell phone, and when i encounter road rage I call the colorado state patrol and report him/her. You did the right thing by ignoring him. I'm sorry you had to come across this in my great state. All these friggen Californians that moved in have really changed the drivers on the highways.

    Good job on keeping your cool. Glad you made it home safe at least. Those situations can go bad really fast.

    No worries. Thus far both us and our vehicles are safe. It's just so confusing what people do sometimes and this has been the most confusing yet.

    Some people are just stupid and let the rage take over their common sense. My common sense says you did the right thing.
