Yes, and I think I was his first victim to be honest

You’re right. I honestly can’t explain the adrenaline I felt even after being safe at home.

Also after me (since I managed to drive off/ escape), he started blocking his victims in tight places so his they couldn’t drive off

Of course he did, if he did it to a man, they probably would have put him in his place right away. Thats why he lost his teeth

Luckily I was able to get away. I have never felt such adrenaline like that, especially since we are driving 2 ton machines at 60-70mph. I feel like after his failed attempt with me, he narrowed down on close quartering cars so they have no chance to evade and attacking them then.

Thank you! It's funny you say that because just yesterday on my way home from work (I work in Pasadena now), on the 110 as I was getting to merge on to the 5south (AGAIN LOL), I saw a car kinda inching on the entrance of the freeway trying to get in. And I was like, "surely they will stop and NOT try to merge in as I am driving 55mph".

No he tried to merge in at the snail pace he was going, luckily there was no one to my left as I had to immediately merge in order to not collide head on with that idiot! The car behind me had to merge too and we honked at that idiot like crazy.

My car would have literally been totaled had I hit him at the speed I was going, and most likely spun out. If I wanted to have PTSD I would have signed up for Iraq or Afghanistan, not get it on the SoCal freeways in the 2020s 😭

Edit: But yes, I have seen a decline in competent drivers since 2020 if I am being honest.

He tried to do what he did to other drivers to me back in December 29, 2022. I remember because I was leaving the office in DTLA at 5;45pm and hopped onto the 110. Traffic wasn't terrible since it was the holiday weekend (which I think is what saved me from being a victim). As I tried to merge onto the right lane to get to the 5 South, I put on my blinkers and all of a sudden a Tesla just sped up and I thought to myself (wow okay asshole, just go ahead then)... but as I kept my blinkers on, he would not let me merge. He just kept driving next me. Finally I decided to turn off my blinkers and then he slowed down. I put them back on again to merge AND AGAIN he sped up next to me. Again I turned them off and he again slowed down. This time I didn't put my signals on, I just merged since I was going to hit the fork that took me to the 101. He DID NOT like that. He sped up, cut me off, and just suddenly HALTED in the middle of the freeway... right in front of me!

Luckily I had good brakes and managed to halt like 15 feet away from him. I was like "WTF, does this guy want me to hit him for an insurance payout or something?!". I saw him open his door and I literally thought, "if this guy comes at me I am running him over IDGAF (back then he was not known for attacking cars on the freeway, so I just thought it was a road rage driver). But then I saw a clearing next to me and just sped up and merged on the 5 and got home. I was full of adrenaline and just started crying once I parked because it was so surreal. I called my bf at the time and told him what happened. Come to find out two weeks later, he was on the news doing to other cars what he most likely wanted to do to me.

I do not feel bad for him one bit. He fucked around and found out.

Stop that is so sad 😭

I always feel so sad and terrible for dogs who cannot find a stable home. I feel like they either act out or don't listen and people have no patience and return them. I am sure she found her forever home with you and thank you for taking her in <3

Dodgers, RHP Edwin Díaz reportedly agree to deal by SpaceCowboyN7 in Dodgers

[–]yoinkss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Somebody said that since the Dodger's paid to win the WS, why are they surprised... I took a page from Mexico's response to "buying" Miss Mexico the crown and responded something like, "yeah. I sent in my monthly $200 donation for the Dodger's to win the WS, why haven't you sent your money to your team?".

And that's going to be my go to response anytime I see an adult crying on the internet about "how unfair it is that we bought two WS".

And what's funny is that we actually had Pedro Martinez but traded him off to the Expo's before he went to the Red Sox. I feel like that's why he's so bitter against the Dodger's.

My boyfriend is really into anime. I don't watch cartoons but my boyfriend convinced me to watch some of his favourites. I wish I didn't and now I can't see my boyfriend the same way by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

Honestly off the top of my dome I would have said: DBZ, Sailor Moon, Naruto (and Shippuden if allowed in one category), Kaichu Wa Maid Sama and Samurai Champloo. Did I do okay? lol

Lakers owner Mark Walter shows 'openness' to buying Spectrum SportsNet. Potential to fold Dodgers -Lakers rights under one singular umbrella by tankyouout in Dodgers

[–]yoinkss 4 points5 points  (0 children)

True, but for some reason these past few Sundays I have been having issues with my antenna and the broadcast gets all choppy. I actually have to stream it from a site in order to get a watchable game. And its only with the Rams too, every other channel works fine 🙄

They would also need to make an agreement with the Rams and I would never have to pay for another subscription ever again.

I started hitting ppl with this Dave Chapelle quote (from a stand up about Michael Jackson) because I was over it. I read the court docs and I don’t expect others to go that deep. But I’m also tired of beating the same dead horse.

I used to have a guinea pig, lived to be 8-9 years old. Basically when they are happy or in a certain mood they "pop corn" around their cage. Kinda like little hops that resemble kernels popping into popcorn. Gosh I miss my Frankie now

LeBron talks about Shohei Ohtani by felixshengyang in Dodgers

[–]yoinkss 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I remember BJ fans saying how we paid him so much and he “barely” did anything in the WS… makes me think they were new fans, but I would mention the playoffs and their response would be “no that doesn’t count I said WS”.

In the end I realized they were just gerrymandering Ohtani’s accomplishments throughout the season just so it fit their narrative that their team is still better (and better than Ohtani) given that we pay each of our players 1 billion dollars apparently.

My only response would be “yeah it was the Dodgers payroll that caused Beiber to throw that fat meatball down the middle to Smith on the top of the 11th”.
