Had a guy swerve towards me on Saturday's run while flipping me off and cursing at me.

I had the exact same thing happen to me last Sat.....I just don't understand "that" freaking behavior!!!

Many of the roads around me have a 2 foot paved area outside the white line which is great for runners. I was running on one a couple weeks ago and had a car crowd me. He moved over so his wheels were on the white line as he passed. This was early on a Sunday morning with zero traffic. I made all sorts of rude gestures trying to get him to come back but got no response. I may start carrying a rock. Wink

my dh had to leap over a car that pulled out suddenly from a driveway. He landed on the hood of the car and the guy got out and started yelling at him for damaging his car.

Truthfully, I am more nervous on sidewalks around here, most people back out of their driveways at full speed and dont look at the sidewalk, only the street. The flag lot driveway 3 houses down gives me nightmares now that my kids are starting to run around.
