A letter

Dear Kind, courteous driver:

This letter is for the sweet man driving the enormous white Escalade I encountered at the intersection of Mapleton and Trinity this morning. 

I'm sure you were just distracted by your cell phone when you cut me off and almost creamed me with your giant SUV.  I'm sure you thought it was OK because you were bigger than me.  But I'm sure you have heard before that size doesn't matter.  In fact, I'll bet your wife has said this to you a time or two.

I am sorry that I could not make out all the words you were saying, as you were looked down on me when you pulled up beside me at the traffic lights.  I could make out a few of your words though.  I may have missed some of the fine nuances as I watched your big fat lips flapping at me through the glass of the windows.

I was afraid that perhaps you wouldn't hear my responses so I chose to respond in sign language.  I truly do hope that you were able to fully understand my gestures.  I have a feeling you have seen them before.

Thank you for making my nice, quiet little drive to Moncton for a few errands so very special.  I hope you have a SUPER day, and that a thousand fleas infest your armpits - Asshole.

Sincerely,  Kim

P.S.    BITE ME

  4. Excellent! "and that a thousand fleas infest your armpits-Asshole" I really love that. And the Bite Me is a last great touch. And what is it with people driving vehicles when they are obviously the ones that screw up and do some dumb dangerous thing and the innocent person is sitting there shaking from averting catastrophe with their face frozen in terror and disbelief that the a-hole is the one that is all ticked off like it was the innocent persons fault. Do.Not.Get.It Glad you are ok Kim.

  5. Glad you are ok. One day he will meet with someone bigger than him, and the shoe will be on the other food.

  11. Kim, I couldn't have said it better or sign it better if I tried.
    Your closing at the end of your letter is exactly my sentiment, for this asshole.

    I'm sorry that you almost got creamed by this idiot. But it made an excellent post venting your frustrations here on Blogger as most of us have had similar experience at one time or another.

    Hugs, JB

  12. It's always so typical to get screamed at by someone who actually made the mistake. It seems to be a growing trend! It's called the "entitlement gene". Glad you held your own and stood up to him. I'm also glad he didn't take it to another level. Be safe!

  18. Man, I sure hope he's a blogger and can read this...wait, us bloggers aren't that stupid to drive like that! I'm glad you're OK and you did make me laugh at the end!

  20. Wow the nerve of some people. What you need to do next time is smile your biggest smile and wave. It literally drives people insane. They absolutely go mad when you keep smiling at them. I have proof that it works.

  21. YAY KIM!!!! I use sign language also, but try hard to restrain anymore because one time I had a guy follow me home and sit outside my house in his car for a long time. It scared me into trying to reform my ways...but sheesh! When people do that stuff, what's a girl to do??? You're my hero!
