Almost got hurt on the ride home. Under 1 mile from work, crushing down a hill. About to pass a guy walking, and a pickup truck shoots past me, slams on the brakes and swerves over directly in front of me. I lock up the brakes, go all squirrelly on both wheels, manage to not eat it. End up directly along his passenger door, about 6 inches from a ditch. Start screaming at him, nothing polite. He won't roll down the window and just waves me on.

Passes me a bit later, turns out he was picking up the walker. I don't think he even realized how close he came to making me crash. Just saw a friend and decided to pick him up.
