I did not have a good week. Last Tuesday I was on my way to pick up my 3 year old daughter at daycare. While I was trying to leave the neighborhood I was run off the road (in my dually), rammed into, had a shotgun pointed at me, and was chased into town.
The road out of the neighborhood has not been completed on the incoming lane (it has been 5 years now), so it bottlenecks from 2 lanes in either direction down to 1 lane in either direction. About 4 months ago I was in an accicident at this precise spot where the road bottlenecks, because this stupid girl decided she needed to u-turn in front of my 7200lb truck while she was talking on the phone and digging around on the passenger side floorboard; she didn't see me. So that is what this reject decided to do, u-turn illegally in front of 7200lbs of truck. I had to jump the curb on my right just to keep from colliding with his Nissan Maxima.
After I pass him, and pull up behind another car at the light, we are waiting to turn East along the Tollway... so reject pulls up to my passenger side and starts screaming profanity and telling me to get out of the truck. Normally I would give in to this temptation, if anyone has a right to be angry it should be me, I mean he just ran me off the road. So I decide to be the adult and just ignore him, but that only makes him angrier and he wedges his car between the front of my truck and the back of the car ahead of us. When the light changes, I am blocked in and he won't let me go until I get out of the truck. At this point I just back up a few feet and drive up the curb on the left and go around him, but as I am passing him he rams my passenger side with his car. Then he follows me down to the next intersection, and the light is red, so again I'm stuck. This time he pulls up as close as he can get to the passenger side, leans out the window and points what looks like a Remington 870 express, (same shotgun I have)into the cab of my truck.
So he is one of these young, saggy pants, panty hose on his head rejects, you know the kind I mean... and he's cussing a blue streak telling me to get out or he's gonna kill me. So while we wait for the light I just calmly drink my bottled water, never taking my eyes off of his, until the light changes and I drop the clutch leaving him behind. Now at this point I realize I probably shouldn't have left my cell phone on the kitchen counter, so I head towards the tollway plaza, where there are always a couple of Constables cars sitting by the feeder road. When I get to the plaza, and jump out, there are 2 Constables chatting with one of the tollway clerks outside, reject pulls up behind me and I rush his driver's side door and start punching his window. He just sits there staring at his shoes with one of those "oh $@!$" looks on his face, shotgun on the seat beside him. The Constables really don't seem to be to interested in me pounding on this guys window, shouting "You want to pull a gun me!", so I get back in my truck and try to get some distance from this idiot. But he still follows me down the feeder road, turn south into Pearland and follows me into town. So the next logical place to go is the Pearland Police Department, which he follows me right up to the entrance where there are 2 cops waiting for us. When we pull over the cops are all of this guy, grab the shot gun from him and cuff him, When they asked if he pointed it at me, he says "Yeah, he hit my car,", so reject gets booked for aggrevated assault with a deadly weapon. As of right now he is in the clink with a $30,000.00 bond
