Maybe I'm over-reacting, but here is the scenario.
I'm on the ramp merging onto a somewhat busy highway. The ramp is 2 lanes, the left lane merges, then there is a few hundred feet for the right lane to merge. The traffic on the ramp was all in the left lane, so I was taking advantage of the empty right lane. As I'm getting to pass the front car left lane the car starts moving into the right lane. I have to brake so I don't run into the car.
He started moving back into the left lane again, and I noticed its the guy that sits in the cube next to me at work. I start to go around him on the right a second time. He starts moving the car right again. Just getting the tires to the paint. I dropped 2 gears and left him to have his fun and games.
I waited for him in the parking lot when I got back to the office and threw my CF knuckled glove at his car as he rolled past me and started to the spot where he parted. He got out mad because I threw my glove at his cage. i was already steaming from him playing games on the highway. He didn't understand why I was so mad. His explanation was, "I only came over a little, its not like I ran you off the road. I saw you in my mirror the whole time"
He did end up apologizing. I am still steaming under the collar. Am I over-reacting because its someone I know? I've had close calls thanthis, of course I've handed a few out on the highway too (one of the reasons for the CF knickles in the gloves).
