Almost got in a fight Tuesday afternoon on the way home. I was riding through my apartment complex at about 20mph in the middle of the road since the speed limit is 15 and there are speed bumps (speed limit is NOT posted on the side of the road, its in the complex manual thing which nobody reads). So a big red Dodge pickup is following me pretty close and finally passes me between speed bumps, I estimate he was going at least 30mph. So he pulls into the mail hut as did I. I proceeded to ask him in a very normal tone what he thinks the speed limit on the property is. He flips his lid and starts swearing and going off at me saying he knows what the speed limit is and that I need to learn the rules of the road. I just stand there and say a few things about the speed limit and that he needs to read the rules of the road while he gets his mail. He punches his mail into the trash can and yells at me to get the f*** out of the way or else. Practically a verbal threat. So he is walking past and I am almost positive he is gonna hit me but he gets in his truck to go to his apartment. I give him the finger is he is leaving for kicks and get my mail. Ended up discussing this with the apartment complex but they can't legally do anything. I am going to make a report to the road rage hotline and see if anything comes from that. If I am confronted by him again I will be calling the cops on the spot, no questions asked. The best part is that he lives in the building next to me so I am more likely than not to see him again. Wow I hate my apartment complex and can't wait to get out of here. Ok, my rant is over. I hope to not see him this afternoon on my way home.
