i've learned my lesson

on saturday, darkpony and i were out and about in our neighborhood when we came across a shelving unit someone was giving away for free. we decided to pick it up and take the subway home because dp was doing some heavy lifting. when we were crossing the street, against the light, to get to the subway entrance, this silver mercedes almost runs me over. i know we were crossing against the light, but dp was carrying this heavy shelving unit, so cut us some slack, right? well, i decide to flip the guy in the car the bird. he starts yelling at dp who is behind me, and then i see him park his car. at this point we are going down into the subway, and ten seconds later this madman comes running down the stairs yelling, and then he kicks the shelving unit that is between him and dp. he keeps emphasizing how polite he was to let us cross the street, and says something like, "your wife give me the finger! she stick that finger up your butt?" ha ha! then he says to dp, "i'm going to kill you! i'm going to break your glasses!" not sure if these things were going to happen in this order, but it would be funny if they did. the whole time i'm cowering behind dp, threatening to call the police. i had my cell phone out, though it was most likely i wouldn't have gotten a signal. also, there were other people around including the mta guy in the booth. he also wasn't sure if he should call the police or not. finally this madman starts ascending the stairs when i decide it's a good idea to get in a few more verbal taunts. fortunately, he didn't turn back around and really kill dp/break his glasses. i think he was with the russian mafia or something and was wearing a mercedes jacket to match his car. yikes! dp was kind of silent after that. i've now learned my lesson about flipping people the bird. that's for sure. though i'm convinced that he wouldn't have gone after me if i had been alone...really, i've learned my lesson!
