Road Rager Followed Me into an Bagel Shop
I am going to be sharing one of my multiple road rage stories (I live in state notorious for these type of drivers).
Note: This is the only one where I was the driver. Other times I was passenger witnessing it
It took place a year ago. I was driving to bagel shop before work when I received a call from my grandma who was asking for an address. I turned into entrance to empty business so I could quickly text it.
When I was leaving, I accidentally didn’t turn sharp enough and accidentally went a little bit into second lane (which was my bad). Some honked at me (which was deserved) and I internally berated myself before literally going over 2 stops to bagel place.
Additional Note: To explain how I managed do that. The exit had one of the wider exits where you typically don’t need much turn to get in the lane correctly. I was trying to be cautious but I misjudged it.
Additional Note: As a commenter told me to word it better, the one that honked at me is not the one who chased me into the bagel place. It was a lady in the second lane, who I mouthed apologies too and she nodded that it was ok.
I got back on the phone with my grandma, made my order, and was waiting when an older man came in afterwards. He hovered over me and I moved cause I thought I was blocking the line or something. He then went over to staff yelling. While on the phone, I noticed he was pointing at me. I ignored it think it was nothing, then said goodbye. As I was listening to the music, the guy came over to me and the said “you could have hit someone you know.”
I looked at him confused before this man started screaming about texting and driving and how I should have license and other foul things. Since I’m a relatively small woman, I just froze and then said “ok.” Before getting my order and running out of there.
Apparently, he was the one who honked at me and decided he would turn around and follow me into a shop to confront me.
It honestly scared the living hell out of me. The staff just watched him do this to me as well, which was worse cause he went over to them to scream to them about me. I haven’t been able to go into that bagel shop since.
