I detect something personal here against me Outlaw. I got out of the woman's way as fast as I could. I did have to get Beau safe though.
And I am not sure how old this woman was/is. She could have been as young as 55. To maybe 75.
Same with Kahuna32162. I have had mean spirited posts from this person as well. I have no idea why these two people seem to have animosity towards me.

I can put up with the everyday grouches but when a dangerous weapon is concerned like a car; that is different. Pull this with your car against a cop putting his or her dog in the car and you would probably get tazed maybe even shot .

Tal, see bold sentence. Nothing personal against you; just don't agree with your justification for your anger, and as you continued to post, your story seemed to indicate that you may have been in a bad mood and the slightest thing was going to cause you to react negatively. I'm actually surprised that so many posters immediately assumed this person, who you said could have been 75 yrs old, was intentionally forcing you to move with her car. Could it have been that she was an impaired senior (vision, motor control, dementia) who shouldn't be driving, and did not realize how close she was getting to you? You tell the story as if you could read her mind and knew her intentions. And then we have the added aggravating factor of the "2 mph lethal weapon" statement. I'm waiting for the attempted murder accusation. It just seems totally out of control. And now we have a thread that morphed into a rant on how there are so many rude people in TV. And the typical TV cheerleaders actually joining in to bolster that view! Surprise. Anyway, only you know what happened, but I would not be at all surprised if that lady had no clue that you felt rushed, forced, intimidated, or whatever. She may have never even realized what went down.
