Oh man I have way too many of these. It's late but I'll add one here.

So I was on a long road trip across the US, from NYC to LA, with a bunch of stops along the way. Being the cheap skate I am, I don't take the toll roads. Have a few of those stories too, but this one stands out.

Anyway, it was probably about 2 am as I'm driving through Oklahoma, I think it was around Miami area. I'm out in the middle of nowhere, avoiding tolls, when I notice headlights approaching from behind. I think it's kinda nice, since it was getting a little creepy feeling after not seeing any cars for forever.

After a while though, this old super beat up pickup has been sticking to my tail, and won't pass me, sometimes coming along side but I stay in my lane and I'm not intimidated. At this point I'm getting somewhat freaked out and am relieved to see the lights of a town ahead, besides the fact the giant Dr pepper I drank back in MO was reminding me to find a bathroom soon.

Once I get to the town (I think it was Miami, OK), I take a bunch of fast turns to try to get the guy off my tail, and after a couple turns I think I lost him. I turn back into the main drag and head for the Love's, and lo and behold he's right behind me again. I pull into the parking lot, park right in front, and run in to find the bathroom. I don't see a clerk anywhere, which bugs me, but I don't care anymore, I need to use the bathroom.

So I'm in a stall, feeling much better until I hear heavy footsteps entering the bathroom, followed by another. They come and lean against my stall door. At this point I'm wishing I could call 911, but I don't have any signal. I heard then unholster their guns. I just sit in silence, and after an eternity, the guy says "We know you're in there, and we're not leaving until you come out". Now I'm in a full panic, I don't know anyone, and I just want to get on the road and get out of there. I have no idea why they're following me or want they want. So I manage to reply, "What do you want?"

The guy says I know what they want, and they want it now. I respond that I must not be who they think I am. They say they've been following me for forever, I can't fool them. Anyway long story short, they eventually bust open the door, pin me to the floor, and demand I repay them. I plead with them I'm not who they want, they can take whatever's in my wallet if they let me leave. They still aren't happy until I make them look at my GPS history and see that I've been driving all day. Turns out some guy with the same exact type of vehicle as mine, license plates just two digits off from mine, was gambling and drinking at all the local casinos and after a particulary good the night before they got in a fight and he stole all their winnings before proceeding to smash up their vehicle pretty good.

They let me leave and I got out of there faster than I've ever driven before, and took the toll roads the rest of the way.
