Reminds me of a story my brother still tells when an old lady in his neighborhood rang his doorbell and had this conversation:

Lady: “Is that your car parked out there?” (points to car)

My brother: “No.”

Lady: “Well, you better move it, it’s blocking my driveway.”

Some say that the internet with its anonymous forums and message boards has created a class of vitriolic crazies who can publicly post whatever hateful or bizarre ravings come into their head. It’s nice to see that older, more quaint forms of posting hateful and bizarre ravings – with tape on a door – are not dead.

In general, if someone starts talking to you on the street about a mistake you supposedly made, just say sorry and stop talking to them. Even if you’re clearly and provably right, it’s not worth an altercation.

Yep, proof that there are more than enough wackos out there on both sides of the aisle!

The driver needs to get a life. I think she is mixing up “class” with clueless assumptions. Driver must get bent out of shape when her broccoli touches her mashed potato’s too.

It’s certainly no less interesting than the great majority of stories people choose to share here so I’ve got no problem with her posting it. As for her moving on, there are some disturbing facts here that have to be considered. Between the hours of 10 pm and 8 am, this person took the time to get the name of the resident of this address (maybe she went through the mail (creepy in both excecution and motivation)) or did a search of property tax records online at the dc.gov website (less creepy with respect to execution but still creepy in terms of motivation)), think through and then type up a one-page, single-spaced vitriolic letter to the resident, drive back to the address, and deposit the letter. That’s not garden-variety unreasonableness. That’s mentally-disturbed unreasonableness, which means this may not be the last encounter with this woman.

Yes, this is all a bit crazy. However, she’s still a motorist with a vehicle that can kill you if she can’t see you. Although you had your headlight on, she just didn’t see it. If your headlight is a lower powered blinking light, you may want to consider upgrading to something that is guaranteed to be seen by ALL drivers. Not all blinking lights are effective in the city. Just something to consider.

Riding with lights is arguably more important than riding with a helmet. Denmark, happiest and bikiest place on earth, is very, very serious about enforcing light laws.
