Miracles do Happen

My wife’s life is so much more interesting than mine since I started back to work M-F 8hrs/day. She calls me at work and says “I just had to call and tell you this, you’ll love it!” My wife was driving on the freeway going to a class in moderately heavy traffic, you know the type I’m talking about, lots of cars but moving at or above the speed limit. She is in the number 1 lane when this guy comes speeding up behind her and starts to tail gate her. I mean really tailgating, moves up on her bumper and sits there, starts to do the minor weave back and forth in the lane to try and give her the idea that she should get the hell out of his way. Now remember she is in heavy traffic and decides that it would be a whole lot safer for her to just stay where she is instead of changing lanes, also because there is a couple of cars right next to her in the next lane over and this guy is obviously stupid and is likely to do something stupid like try to change lanes at the same time she does. So she stays put. So after trying unsuccessfully to force my wife out of the way, Timmy Tailgater sees an opening and takes it, across 3 lanes of traffic to the right, cutting off who knows how many other cars. He then starts to make his move to come back over to the fast lane when out of nowhere comes (cue 1812 overture or Ride of the Valkerys) The California Highway Patrol with all their Christmas lights flashing and siren going and pulls his ass over! Who says there never is a cop around when you need one. Talking with a friend of mine who is in law enforcement about the above incident, depending on how unforgiving and inventive the cop who pulled this jackass over was, this guy could get sited for a minimum of 5 or even up to possibly 10 high priced violations! As well as a possible field sobriety test! On another note played last night with Lady, Shakes, Old Man River, DamnDog, BC Kinetic, R3d Scare, Duderlock, Lotus eater, Radio Birdman and many others. Two things I want to say about this, 1. There were 4 of us from 2o2p West on at the same time playing the same game! WEST SIDE REPRESENT! 2. I got totally chewed up, I totally brought the suck! But I still had an awesome time! Thanks guys, it was great getting PWND by you. It didn’t help that I’m trying to learn the “Boxer” setup on my controller and that I had a rabid wolverine in my pants. (yes I know, excuses are like assholes)

One of my biggest pet peeves is tailgaters/timmy drivers. I do the same thing your wife did... ...except I also pray to Jesus that they wreck so bad that their closest loved ones can't identify the corpse.

I hate tailgaters. During my 30 mile daily commute, I know were traffic generally slows to a stop and were it opens up again. Always makes me nervous when someone obviously doesn't know what I do. In general I will let them go. I try not get angery, I make up excuses for them to myself. Like they have an emergency and need to get to the hospital. Did I miss the West gathering last night?? You should have let me know. We could have made it 5. Who did you play with?? I know you, OMR, and me, maybe ElasmoBait?? Who was the others??

It was totally unplanned and happened organically, thats the crazy part. It was myself, thedamndog, oldmanriver, and duderlock. I think I'll post something on the Clan forum and see if we can come up with a night or two that we can meet up.

yeah carbon, you totally missed out lol. Good playing with you burn. You ought to get your butt in gear and turn on the old halo more often. oh, and tailgaters suck!. Ive been known to slow down to under the speedlimit when I know they cant pass just because Im a bitch like that. I will probably one day be shot for it, but oh well.
