Ah, you were trollin'.

I would have just gone around you though -- life's too short to be playing 
those games.

What gets me though, are people who go to pass a truck with two lanes 
going our direction, then sit there and paces (not passes -- paces) the 
truck.

"FFS, pass.  the.  truck."

Or really, anybody that paces the car to their right.

Another one that is almost as bad is being out on I-5 (4 lanes, 2 each 
way, 75MPH speed limit), and a truck decides to pass another truck.  
Trucks passing trucks = more slowdowns.

You're lucky he didn't try to get you on assault and battery.  Though I 
guess there wouldn't be a way for him to prove you did it on purpose...
