I'd say it was some guy who was tailgating me the entire time I was driving home last Tuesday. He kept weaving over the center line, coming up on my butt, and generally being an ass -- and worse, he wouldn't pass me despite having ample opportunity to do so. Now I know these roads, so I know what speed to go down them. He disagreed, apparently. I later saw he had New York plates and wasn't surprised. (Apologies to any New York readers, but cars with NY and NJ plates have a reputation for giving Boston drivers a run for their money)
And the icing on the cake was when I finally signaled to turn into my driveway -- and the guy waved at me in what was obviously supposed to be "good riddance" gesture! I was half tempted to either flip him the bird or write down his plates, but I resisted doing both. But still, what a jerk! If I was ever tempted to do something impolite that was it. And I'm usually pretty calm while driving.
