-14c so I just went straight to work. Snowy slushy roads meant that I was more in the way of traffic than usual but it all worked out OK. That was until I went into a parking lot and was immediately honked at repeatedly. The lady within 30 feet of going into a lane expected me to move over to allow her to drive fast through a hotel parking lot so she could exit the other side and take a short cut to her work. I couldn't believe it. I had honestly inconvenienced many other drivers on the road and they did not show any aggression towards me - than this lady comes along and illegally cuts though a hotel parking lot, honking at me. I wish I was a better person - but I stayed in her way and went slower. Then I blocked the exit to yell at her. I feel like an idiot now having done so, but honestly, she should have left home a bit earlier to avoid being such a rude ignorant driver. To make matters worse, I saw her car at her work and I yelled at her there too. I think she was afraid of me (I am 6'5") so she immediately apologized and me being the kind-hearted soul I am, I yelled at her again (I was still in a rage). I have worked hard to not get mad and not act this way but this lady really set me off today. Tomorrow I will use the MUP.... That is my happy place .
