chased
so, i was involved in a sort of car chase the other night. yup. little me. in my little silver corolla.
here is the story:
I get on the 10 freeway, heading west, to go to C's house. there is a meter light at the end of the ramp. I stop. wait. it turns green, so I go, looking out my side mirror as i do so. see a white car, slow down. but, by that time the lane had gotten too narrow so the white car couldn't pass me. drama ensues.
she starts honking (by this time i see it is a girl, probably around my age, so i know this won't go well) and cussing at me and flipping me off, etc. so i go, and speed up. still the honking. (note: this all happened in the space of maybe three seconds...so it's not like I was at a dead stop, i was still moving.) it's clear now that the girl was trying to pass me via the car pool lane, even though she was alone.
anyway, the entry lane for this ramp turns into two after it narrows to one, and merges with a very long exit ramp before you can enter the 10. so she gets in the land next to me and lines up with my car. flipping off, yelling, etc. on her part. i stick my tongue out at her. so, up to this point, the only offense i had caused her was going when the light changed and sticking my tongue out.
now, i have posited for some time now that it offends l.a. drivers more if i stick my tongue out at them and/or flash my brights instead of giving them the finger or honking. this experience only proves my point.
back to the story. so, it gets to a point that i need to get in the lane she is in, and since she won't let me pass her, i slow down and get behind her. luckily, the freeway is not really busy, so this is easy to do. i change lanes again, and she slows down so she is even with me...more bitching and honking and flipping, so i stick my tongue out again. at this point, i assume that things are over.
i start to speed up a bit, and get ready to finish my drive. WELL, she slows down, and gets behind me. okay, whatever. she is on my tail. i can't even really see any of her hood in my rear view mirror, she is that close. and there are hardly any other drivers around me.
okay...well...i decide to just keep driving normally. i stay in my lane, she stays behind me. i decide that i'm not going to do anything else to her, no flipping off on my part, and definately no more sticking my tongue out. so, we drive for a somet time. my exit comes up. i don't use my blinker because i don't want to prepare her (i think, perhaps she will be thrown off). she follows me into the exit. we stop at the light ahead, and this is when my heart starts to beat a bit faster. i need to turn left, but i stayed in the lane that allows you to turn left of go straight. so, no blinker on my part.
the light turns green, and at the last moment, i turn left. she follows. hmm. okay, i think. well, she can't see me park at C's house...that's just *too* weird (as if this wasn't). I go through fairfax, and come up to la cienega, heading straight. she moves into the right turn lane, and pulls up next to me. i ignore her, thinking, "okay good, she goes away now:.
the light changes, i go, she gets behind me *again*. geez. i decide that i will try to parallel park in front of one of the businesses along washington. damn, no spots open. i pass C's street, and call him. i start driving really slowly, and turn my blinker on as if i'm going to park. she stays behind me, and i briefly explain the situation to C. he says he will come outside while i park, but then i remember that i can pull into my office's garage, which is coming right up.
so i do that. i turn into the lane, and open the garage. thanks goodness, she speeds up and passes me.
whew. crazy. i was totally followed, and i all i did was stick my tongue out at her.
Vengeful bitch. I took down some information on her while at a light. So, if you see an older white toyota camry, driven by an african american girl in her 20's with braids that were dyed bright red, tinted windows, and a license plate start with 5ME, don't stick your tongue out at her.
yeah.

That's crazy! If I fallowed someone every time they pissed me of in LA traffic I would never get anywhere. She totally wanted to box you, awesome! I have a similar story. There was a chase and a dude sticking his tongue out at me as well (only I hope you weren't sticking your tongue out like this guy was, gross pervy mcperv perv). He also fallowed me home. Creepy people man!
wow, that'd totally freak me out if she followed me...
