TN drivers from the rural parts of the state can't drive worth $h!t. I'm coming back to the office from lunch, cruising down the interstate at about 80 mph (I was speeding, so sue me), there's a Lancer "OZ Rally Edition" directly next to my left (I'm in the middle lane of a 4 lane highway). So I'm cruising, having a good time driving, when all of a sudden the dude decides he wants in my lane, and starts merging over. I lay on my horn, because he's about 3 feet from me at 80 mph...I look to my right to see if I can swerve over, but there's a car in my way. I would absolutely die if my Supra got hit, so I look in my rearview mirror for a brief moment to make sure no ones coming up behind me. I slam on my brakes, smoke comes pouring from my tire wells, the guy misses me by about 4 feet.

The Lancer proceeds to speed up to about 90 or 100, so I floor it and catch up to him, he's slightly surprised. He gets off, conviently, at the exit that I need to get off of to get back to the office. I'm following him closesly, but make sure not to tailgate him. As I cool off a bit I decide not to follow him, and just head back to work. Well, it seems that he's headed back to my building as well. We pull into the parking lot, me right behind him. He parks his car, and I park right next to him. He's out of his car and power walking to the front door by the time I turn off my car. I get out and follow him through the front door. I get inside, and he's talking to the receptionist. He looks at me and then takes off down the hallway. I decide that he's not worth it, and just ask the receptionist if she knows him.
"Of course" she says, "That's *name of my boss* 's son, why?"
"No reason," I say. Glad that I never caught up with him, because I probably would have been fired. I'm still pretty pissed that people can drive so poorly...gotta think of a way to relieve this anger.

That's the boss's son? Kick has a** anyway!!

Or tell your boss his son's an idiot.

I'd have given him an earful when he got out of his car!

I like my job, and my boss is more of a hothead than I am...I don't think that would be such a good idea.
