wow. 3nd worst road rage evar. The other two were when a guy got out of his car and lunged and tried to grab me... and also when a driver grabbed my arm as they drove by on the right (I had signaled and moved into the center lane to make a left).

So, some homeboy in a giant suv yells at me as he goes by. Cuts me off and starts driving through the snow bank so I can't get by. Speeds up. Slams on the brakes causing me to nearly run into the back of his monstertruck. I roll up to his window, he starts yelling at me. I tell him to relax and go to work and he responds with "yo I don't gotta work". Then he drives off again. When he catches up with traffic (approx 10 seconds later) and stops, I catch him and I stop behind him as I can't get by (this of course happens at least a dozen more times). When he starts moving again he nails the gas in an attempt to snowjob me.

What a ****.

The worst part? His license plate was covered with snow so I couldn't get it.

Seriously, I ride very civilly and within my limits. I don't do anything to intentionally piss anyone off. Yet this **** keeps happening. All three of these incidents happened on Harbord Street as well. I think I'm going to go back to my 'no Harbord' rule.

*sigh*

Humanity is ****ed.
