    Default Houston Road Rage Victim

    I was doing grocery shopping today and was going to pick up my BF. I was behind a red SUV full of men. They stopped at the stop sign like 3 times, and I am thinking, "WTF? Are they drunk?". Anyway, when they start driving, they were going like 20 miles an hour and I don't have time for this, so I go to pass them.

    As I was passing them, they sped up on purpose so I could not pass. I was window to window with them and they were laughing. And then they SWERVED THEIR SUV TO RUN ME OFF THE ROAD!

    I hit the brakes and got back in the other lane. I flipped the guy off and maybe I shouldn't have done that, but he tried to kill me.

    So now that he is in front of me, he pulls to the other lane like he's gonna let me pass now. I slowed down because I didn't want to get window to window with them again. They could have a gun or God knows what. I stayed behind. He rolled to a stop in the middle of the street. And so did I, cause I didn't want to pass him.

    So we are both stopped in the road and I am freaking out because I am a single female alone in my car and this SUV is full of crazy men. I rolled up my windows and reached for my cell phone cause I thought I was going to have to call 911.

    Cars were coming up behind us and were lining up behind us and honking, and I really started freaking out because I couldn't even reverse out of the situation. I was blocked.

    The guy in the SUV starts laughing at me again in his rear view mirror and starts driving again and pulls in the shop at the corner. I am wondering if those cars had not come up behind us, what was he thinking he was going to do?

    I was in tears and shaking when I picked up my BF. The ironic thing is that the shop the SUV pulled into is the shop where both my BF and I have had our cars fixed for years. I told my BF and he drove to the shop.

    And there was the SUV in front of the shop. The people were gone, they dropped it off to work on it. But the owner of the shop has been a good friend of mine for years.

    He says he knows these people, kissed my head, and said he would take care of it. And that I will recieve a phone call with an apologie.

    This world is too crazy. You just never know when a psycho is gonna go after you. It really ruined my day and scared me to death. I am an independent girl (most strippers are) and I don't let things bother me. But I was so scared today.

    Be careful driving, ladies. I never thought I needed a gun, but now I am wondering if I do.

    I will let y'all know if I ever get that apology.

    I'm so sorry this happened....Something like this happened to my sister a few months ago. I told her if I had been in the car it would have gotten out of hand- I can't be cool about that stuff.

    It's the "pack mentality" that happens with some men- they see a pretty girl & think "If we can't FUCK her we'll FUCK WITH her."

    Yep, go get that gun. I know Texas is pro-gun ownership. So is Montana ; )

    I agree with the gun thing.

    Just make sure you take all the safety classes and join a shooting range club.
    At least a gun gives you some sort of leverage - plus if you know how to use it, all the better.

    Plus, I am so sorry this happened to you. Poor thing.
    I hope you never have this experience twice.

    Good luck!

    Oh honey---Hugs!!!!!! I know exactly how you feel!

    I was driving with my girlfriend once and we were at the top of a very narrow, steep hill. Since the road was so narrow, and you couldn't really see who was coming up the hill until they were right in your face, we approached the decline very slowly--which is a good thing because suddenly, this guy in a truck comes barreling up the hill and nearly hit us. We both looked at him with looks of shock and disgust as he drove by, and continued on down the hill. My friend looks in the rearview mirror, and the nut had GOTTEN OUT OF HIS VEHICLE.

    The next thing we knew, he was behind us! My friend was supposed to drop me off at my house, but there was no way she was going to do that with this freak on our tail. We ended up driving back downtown, with him behind us the whole time. We were looking for the police station, because we couldn't shake this guy! Finally, she was able to lose him by making a left-hand turn before the light changed. By this time, he was beside us--- but not in a turning lane, and already through the intersection--so he wasn't able to follow.

    We were terribly shaken up. First of all, this guy had nearly caused the accident in the first place! But what posseses someone to get out of their vehicle, then get back in and FOLLOW 2 WOMEN--just because we had given him a well-deserved dirty look?

    I can only imagine how frightened you were, especially being by yourself at the time. Any man who would deliberately bully and terrify a woman alone in her vehicle is a special kind of asshole--the most cowardly kind there is. Road rage in itself is bad enough, but that is whole new low. Too many losers out there who didn't get enough hugs from mommy when they were little, I suppose!

    Sorry this happened to you. If those fuckers ever call, tell them where they can shove their apology.

    Get a gun! Go to your local gunshops and see what they recommend both for a weapon
    that will fit your needs and a local range to learn how to shoot. Become very comfortable with your firearm and maintain your proficiency as shooting for fun is great relaxation too.

    Glock 17
    Totally the easiest automatic pistol to learn on and in 9mm it is easy to handle.

    Check out Galco they make some of the best leather holsters and other items. They even have rights to reproduce Louis Vuitton bags except galco ones have a hidden and lockable pocket for a hand gun.

    I've found Glock kind of big for a womans hand.. Just my two cents. Not to hijack the thread or anything.. I have one, then again I had a marine teach me to shoot.

    No, I am thinking the shop owner was planning to dial the phone for them and make them apologize.

    You should have called the police or at least taken the license plate number.

    That's called "Assault with a deadly weapon" in their book.
