Dan04COBRA -> RE: Your going 5 mph and yet people yell slow down in your Neighborhood (4/11/2008 8:44:40 AM)

A really old man lived up the street from me, in my GT he would always wave at me to slow down when going by his house. It didn't matter if I was going 10 mph or 15 mph, he would freak out. There are speed limit signs posted everywhere of 30mph... Needless to say one day he happened to be at the edge of his lawn and I was doing all of 15mph because of potholes and he jumped out infront of my car. I stopped, rolled down the window and decided to hear him out. He told me "I have your numbers, you don't know who I know, I'll have your license on my table". So I told him I never speed because of the amount of kids and potholes in the neighborhood and if he feels he thinks I'm speeding that he should call the police, file his complaint and quit harassing me. He got pissy and was trying to lean into my window and yell at me, so I rolled up my window enough to get his elbow off my car and he started cussing me out, so I told him if his medicaid wouldn't pay for his eye exams and glasses that I would gladly pay for them both so he can accurately see and determine my speed when I drive by his house. This was maybe 4 years ago? Early last summer everytime I drove by I would wave to him, just to be an ass. He would glare at me everytime... Not long after one day I was sitting at a stop sign just a couple houses down from him and an older lady waved and asked how my day was going. She introduced herself, then I realized who she was and she apologized for her 'grumpy old husband' for throwing a fit in the road 'that one time years ago'. It was pretty funny.
