She nearly dropped her cell phone and stammered "I-I-I didn't see you! I'm lost!" I was even madder now. "Then put down the ****ing phone and pay attention! If you're lost, pull over and call for directions!
On the one hand, I wish I'd kept my cool. On the other hand, I hope that I might have planted a seed in the mind of at least one driver that cluelessness has consequences, especially when you're driving a 3 ton vehicle on city streets.
Feh.
I probably wouldn't have been even that nice, I've have quite the temper when people almost kill me. I keep wondering when some driver I curse out for almost causing an accident is gonna pull over and beat the cr@* out of me, but it's hard to not get angry when your life is in danger.
