Almost hit by a drunk!

Okay I know this isn't technical, but it was practically life-threatening.

Today I was going to work. My road is a single-lane dirt road, surrounded by houses 2 feet from the street. Its a lake, and I'm sure many of you know what Im talking about. Well I stopped so this guy could pull over so i could get through. But instead he doesn't bother stopping and zooms right between me and a telephone pole. I gave it some gas, and apparently i shot rocks at his new S-10 pickup. He got out of the car so I thought he had a gun (******* country). I floored it down the road and went to work. Well this psycho shows up to my work and starts making a big scene. He was drunk, or at least had a few beers in him. His eyes were bloodshot and speech was slurred. He wanted to fight me. Me, being 120 lbs, refused. So he came into the kitchen to get me. People pushed him back, and he tried to fight them. My boss told him to get out, and he refused. He distinctly threatened me THREE TIMES. And I was gonna call the cops on this weirdo. My boss had enough of his crap and said "Get out of my [censored] restaraunt NOW". The guy woudln't listen! He wanted to quote: "take me outside". He was like "next time I see you again, you better be lucky..." Of course being a teenager everyone who wasn't there thought it was my fault. The people who saw definitely knew this guy was more immature than me. Not my fault my 1 wheel drive tire was in loose gravel. I just detailed my car, not like I WANTED to spray rocks. I've always got my cell phone just in case. WHAT A WIERDO! It's one thing to accept an apology and leave, but wanting to fight me for something so stupid and childish? Man, he should grow up. I was shaken up all day about this and just had to get it off my chest to the F-Body community.

He's like 30-something and fat. I was hoping he would do something dumb so I could see him goto jail. I'd take a shot for the home team just to sue his *** :P

since you already said it isn't tech you know why it's locked.
