The car behind me started honking his horn and tailgated me to my turn. When I turned right he followed and continued to follow me all the way to my driveway. I thought he might be a neighbor or a friend so I got my umbrella and went his car window . I asked him why he followed me and he said, "Why did you slow down going through the gate? Couldnt you see it was open? Incredulous, I asked him if he really followed me for that reason...then I said,"You don't have enough to do with your time." He then told me I didn't have any brains at which point I left....greatly resisting the urge to give him the middle digit salute. He was a large fairly ugly man in a greyish minivan.
No one had a right to do and say that to you even if you were at fault, which you weren't. They did not have the right to do that. Another point I want to make is that someone replied that you shouldn't have gone to their car. In TV you should be able to go to a car thinking it is surely someone you know...why wouldn't you think that? Sorry this happened. ridiculous. Probably someone with zero power anywhere else looking to prove something...
