Road rage
I'm not an angry guy, but I can get pretty feisty if I think another person is being a dick. So it was that I had just gotten out of my 8:30 am class and I was crossing State Street when a lady who was trying to make a right hand turn on red tried to scoot around me.
I politely kept on walking, fully intending to exercise my right of way as a pedestrian. She did not like this turn of events, and she started honking her horn at me. And then I did a thing I had fantasized about doing since time immemorial: I turned around and angrily displayed my middle finger to her.
She then rolled down her window and shouted something at me, and I shouted back that she shouldn't honk her horn at me. I started grinning wildly, and then I got really nervous: what if any of my classmates saw my primitive display? I mean, I don't know for sure but most everyone I know thinks of me as fairly mild-mannered. What would they say if they saw me throwing around birds and shouting at people in cars?
So, in the end, it seems that my ultimate fantasy may have backfired. I got to get angry at someone, but perhaps at the expense of some other things. But, for that brief moment, I felt like a real live badass. Oh yes, I did. What are you gonna do about it, buster?
