hi,

i just went for a drive on the grand central parkway here in new york.
as usual, there was some asshole trying to make a studid move: he stopped
in the left lane (no one in front of him) and tried to move into the right
lane.  i was the unfortunate one to be passing by as the head of his car pulled
into the lane.  i managed to avoid collision by driving onto the raised brick
shoulder (very close).

well, in a fit of rage, i chased him down the grand central trying to let
his move was not appreciated and that he should consider public transportation
(not in exactly those words however).  he informed me that he was a cop (while
the women sitting next to him gave me the finger...i began to see red!!!).
i said something about the irrelevance of his profession (again not in exactly
those words).

now that i have calmed down, i wonder what i should do about the incident.
should i just forget about it or should i report his ass (i got his license
plate number).  i realize that he probably was not a cop (everyone in new
york says they are cops whenever theres an accident or traffic jam, etc).
but if he is a cop, then i really want to get him because he shouldn't be
"waving his badge" after he almost caused an accident.  if he isn't a cop,
then maybe he'll stop the bullshit.

what does this informed group think?
