After running errands with Ella today we were on the highway going home. We ended up behind two semi's, normally not an issue but the first semi was going a little slow. Also the roads were pretty wet because we got a little snow and rain this morning. I being in a car, decided it wasn't worth using up all my blue stuff and constantly cleaning my windshield. (I was a good distance back but man can they spray water.)
Well, sections of the highway will open up to a two mile passing lane, to help keep traffic moving, and I was coming up on one. As I am starting to accelerate, and the "fast" lane opens up, I put on the blinker, move over and I am gaining speed. WELL, semi number two (the one directly in front of me) decided, it was OK to just move over and cut me off. I had to hit the breaks so I wouldn't get hit. It's like being elbowed out of the way! Now, I am right behind a semi spraying dirty road water all over my car, like it's the mommy elephant and I am it's baby. My windshield wipers were on maximum speed which I don't even use in torrential downpours because even they aren't this bad. As semi two caught up to semi one, I experienced a second shower turning on as I was now being sprayed by both trucks. I was able to get in front of them both before the lane ended. I made it through the storm.
I was so ticked, I wanted to flip the bird but I never really have the guts to do that.........EVER. Plus Ella is always watching (even though she appeared to be napping, no bad habits). Seriously though, just because you are bigger than me, does not mean you can throw your weight around and expect everyone to just get out of your way! Isn't that one of the definitions of a bully, physical force??? Obviously, it worked, I moved, but still, shame on you!
Anyone have a similar story?
