Yesterday while making the sweeping turn onto my street, I passed a rental box truck coming out of a side street. I thought he looked lost so I wondered what his plan was. As I rode down my street and approaching the left turn into my driveway I kept getting more out into the lane. Taking the lane as it were. The truck had now caught up quite close to me and roared past. As he went by I unloaded a string of profanity into his open window. I then turned left into my driveway and watched his hand with extended finger displayed as he continued down the road.

My reaction was anger and profanity. I don’t do that always but by god it’s my street and the people using it for a shortcut or just following Google maps should show some respect. The afternoon traffic count on the street has increased by five times in the past five years since Google has had it mapped. Sometimes it makes me very angry.
