Hi, a short tale for you....
Do you ever get those day's when you're out in your car and you notice that every idiot on the planet is picking on you personally ? I can confirm this does happen, usually it's ME they pick on !
I was driving along the A2 London bound some years ago, and as I left the slip road and got to the traffic lights at the bottom, I stopped next to a BMW in the adjacent lane waiting for the lights to change. When they did, I pulled away a little faster than the beemer and ended up a little way ahead, not racing him, he was just taking it a lot more casually with his roof down and attractive blonde next to him. I could see this fella was calm and relaxed without a care in the world. Anyways, for no real reason, I kept my eyes on his car behind me for the next few miles until another set of lights brought us both to a stand. I kid you not, everybody who could upset him, did so! Cars were pulling out on him, cutting him up and doing things that were just blatantly disregarding the fact that he was even there, despite him doing nothing at all wrong in any way to invite trouble. Nothing happened to anybody else, just him in his BMW.
As I pulled up to this next set of traffic lights, a seven seater type thing pulled up behind me and I could hear shouting, really aggressive and threatening some real hardcore 'education' of the occupants within...next to this, our friend in the BMW with his woman. He had obviously lost his temper in the last couple of miles as he'd noticed, as well as I had, that everybody seemed to be intent on ruining his day! The seven seater had obviously been the last straw for him, he'd just offered to "burn them all alive", before rolling forward in his BM and stopping once again next to Me.
Well, I couldn't resist...with the windows already open on my beaten up old car, I looked across at them both with a massive grin, I honestly thought he was ready to kill someone at this point, he was so full of rage. I explained how pleased I was that he was here with Me today. His face dropped as I think I caught him off guard but I continued to explain, how normally it is I who have to deal with these fools as they continually gang up on Me and upset Me, but today, they were leaving Me alone and picking on him instead. I said I had noticed them at the last set of lights and seen just how many people had made a bee-line for him, and, for no reason, chose to massively spoil his day, to which he gave me a massive smile and agreed, it was his turn today at which point the lights changed and off they went with a wave and a laugh, back to being the happy chappy I had seen originally.
The point of my post here is that YOU are NOT imagining this stuff. I have seen with my own eyes that these fools really are members of an elite group, who obviously have a quota for the day, they really ARE out to get you. The best course of action to avoid them is of course subject to some debate, but I know they are definitely hell bent on driving badly and spoiling everybody else's day, just for fun. But it's alright....I'm onto them now - they can't upset Me - I know their game.....
Kindest Regards,
Shed.
