tonight i was at the local mall, went there w/ a female friend for a dinner/ movie.. we were heading out from dinner, over to the movie theatres. parking lot is filled with big piles of plowed up snow, so visibility around corners etc, is limited. Got to an intersection in the mall parking lot, looked both ways, then proceeded. view to my left was blocked by a big pile of snow, so i didnt see this guy (i am using the term "guy" to be nice at this point) in a SUV flying aroung the corner.. ok, no biggie, i lead foot it, get out of his way. he slows, (not locking brakes) and hits the horn as he passes me. ok, so it was a minor inconvienience, and i should have been alittle more careful, my visibility was limited, but no harm done, shrug it off. . Anyway so i go onto the movie theatre, a few minutes more, and park. well, much to my astonishment - this "guy" (punk ass kid describes it better) looked to be in his early 20's? who was driving the SUV pulls right up to me (aparently he did a U turn and followed me!!??!) - fast - hits the brakes - and points his SUV with Hi-beams on dead on at my drivers door.........he jumps out... he runs over yelling "F U", "F", this, "F" that, get the "F" outta the car, you mother F'er ...he then PULLS OPEN MY DRIVERS DOOR.... at this point my female friend is crying.. this guy then reaches in, grabs my jacket, and tries to PULL ME OUT OF THE CAR, i was pretty shaken up, i was cornered in by his SUV and had nowhere to go... he continues to try to get me to "fight him" and holds the door, keeping me from shutting it.. i am almost 31. i have no desire to get into a fist fight with anyone. my friend scarted to scream and cry loudly, and then this guy takes his open hand, smacks the drivers window (it a wonder he didnt break it) and the door slams closed..i quickly lock the doors, didnt know what to expect.. he then belts out a few more expletitives, then spits on my window (yea, really!) and then gets back in his SUV and leaves.. funny thing was his girlfriend (what kind of person is she??) is sitting in the front SUV pass seat with her head turned away the whole time.. didnt get a plate number. i was pretty shaken up. what kind of person would do that? seriously F*cked up.. seriously. loose cannon.. prolly beats his gf. dunno. lock your doors folks, there are alot of crazy people out there.

still shaking... chris
