Back, back, back it up!


Why do people have such road rage? So this afternoon, there seemed to be some massive traffic once turning into an alley. None of the cars ahead were moving at all and more cars just kept coming into the alley. Well, eventually some bystanders were saying that there was some ambulance just stopped in the middle of the one-way street. The guy in the car ahead of me starts reversing...uhm hello, I'm still behind here with like 9 cars behind me. So he starts screaming out of his window to back up, and starts waving around his hands as if he's having an epileptic seizure. I put my car into reverse hoping the car behind me will get the hint and so on and so on. Well apparently no one was going to try to start backing all the way out. Soo, the angry man in front of me gets out his car and starts cursing me off, saying, "What the f is wrong with you? BACK your car out now! I don't want to sit here forever!! Back it up, back it up!! Shift it into reverse you stupid biatch!" I don't know if it was the heat, the traffic, the fact that I was getting my ass chewed by a lunatic, the fact that I was going to be late, or what...I decided to belt right back to him. So I scream out, "Calm down! Like going apeshit on me is going to magically make the cars disappear?? How can I back up if I have all these cars behind me?? Why don't you go try telling all these cars behind me to move? See if you can get them to back out of this alley that has double-sided parked cars which makes the street even tighter than your anus right now!!" Well lucky me, apparently he found me calling him an uptight prick to be hilarious and he finally calmed down and started laughing. Of course at the point I hadn't realized that he could have totally grabbed me out of my car and beaten me to a bloody pulp. But at least a few minutes afterwards, the ambulance finally started moving and we were all able to get a move on.
