Pissed? You should have been scared witless!! I am glad you and Gabby are okay! *hugs*

OMG!!!! I am just so glad you are okay. What an A-HOLE!!! I bet your hubby is gonna be pissed!!!

i'm so glad you guys are ok! i used to be a uhm, slightly aggressive driver - flipping people off all the time and purposely angering other drivers at times (not that they didn't deserve it) - but i quickly cut that out after two scary incidents. the first one a man tried to run me off the road during a rainy night when i had my boyfriend in the car. and the second, a man followed me and would have done god knows what to me if i hadn't noticed him following me and been smart enough to keep driving until he went away.

as much as i love driving, i really hate other drivers.

Holy shit, girl, that's SCARY! Not to be an alarmist or anything, but keep a phone nearby. Some folks can be frighteningly crazy. Yikes.

I believe with all of my heart that you just managed to avoid being Car-Jacked.

What he said...sounds very much like a line that would be thrown to an "innocent/naive women" who, if not had wits about her, would have easily been drug or persuaded out of her car.

It sounds like your "jacker" had a heart afterall...maybe a baby of his own....

Thank the God that gives you life, the one that protects and loves you. I cannot imagine how terrifying that had to have been!

And in the meantime, I'm sure the Karma Police will hunt down that fucker and show him what for...one way or the other.

good grief. DO NOT ROLL DOWN THE WINDOW FOR STRANGERS. how scary!!!!

He was obviously a freak! I hope you're okay

I'm so glad that you are okay. I almost got rear-ended on the way to Austin. I know it's not nearly as scary, but know that I'm shaking and pissing my pants along with you. xoxo.

Did you call back?

Oh my gosh, Y! I am glad you and Gabby are OK. People are just nuts.

Did you see him in a vehicle? I go along with the almost car jacked thought. He could have pulled you out of your car but didn't want to mess with a baby in a car seat. I know I tend to be suspicious but still... Please be careful it gives me chills to even think about it.

OK now that is scary!! My name is Julie and I also live in Southern California and all I have to say is that you are LUCKY!!! With everything that has been going on here. I have two little girls and I could only image how you feel. I am so glad that you and your baby are OK.

That was my first thought too that you were being car jacked. He used the other driving thing as an excuse when he saw the baby. He made it up on the spot. He had every intention of pulling you out of there or worse yet making you drive somewhere at gun point. Never roll down your wiondow. If that ever happens again just lay on the horn and never let up until you attract the attention of everyone around you. At the same time grab your phone and call 911. That'll freak him.

That is weird. Thank god you guys are okay, she is your little angel!

WOW!!! I am so very glad you guys are ok....

That's freaky! Yeah, I think he probably might have car jacked you. Thank god for your little "joy unexpected" in the car with you!

I guess I'm confused about why everybody thought this would have been a carjacking, and that the only reason he didn't go through with it was because of the baby. It seems to me that criminals who pull these acts of terrorism go through with their intentions regardless of who is in the car; a baby in the back seat wouldn't have mattered to a carjacker just as much as if there were a ninety year old woman or a couple of kids. Most carjackers have weapons and the sight of a baby in a car seat would hardly, I imagine, deter such a demented idiot.

I DO however believe that he was a screwball that wanted to push his weight around and cause a ruckus by letting you know that "you almost hit him". Jerk.

I don't think he was attempting to car jack me either. I never thought that. What I DO believe is that he was angry and had every intention of physically hurting me (i.e. PUNCHING ME IN THE FACE) but didn't because he saw Gabby.

I realise that psychos do that stuff regardless of children being in the car, but this dude, well, I saw how he changed once he saw her.

I know I have a tendancy for being a little "dramatic" but I'm not in this case. My mother saw how shaken I was and told me to call the police to tell them I had just been terrorized. and I WOULD have had Tony not taken my cell phone with him camping.

I do agree with you, vickie, I never thought "I"m being carjacked" but rather "this guy is going to punch me in the head".

Wow. Life on the road is getting scarier, and scarier. I'm glad you're ok, and he was probably just full of hot air. Still, by not freaking out at him, you did the right thing. Never give them fuel. Not that I'm saying people who defend themselves deserve to get clobbered, but we never know what the other person might do, and though most people really are just full of hot air, there are some crazy people in the world.

Learned that the hard way, and got chased more than once. Luckily, nothing more happened, but damn, it can be scary sometimes.

I'm really glad you and Gabby are ok.

-H

oh, wow. how totally SPOOKY. i'm so glad that both of you are ok. *hugs*

I had a similar incident happen to me last year, the guy was on a bicycle though, and kept ramming into my car at a stop sign. All I kept thinking, was thank God I didn't have Isa with me! I'm glad you're ok! I don't blame you for being pissed. I was pissed, too! In hindsight though, I wish I would have called the police and kept my hand on my horn. But all I did was yell at him and then drive off. I wonder if your freak was the same guy! I'm glad you're both ok and that Gabby didn't get scared!

That is just scary! I am glad you are both ok!

Well if that's not a good commercial for a second cell phone, I don't know what is. Not sure what plans are available to you, but in my parts, you can add a second line for about $10 a month. I think it's a necessity, rather than a convenience, with three kids and two parents. Glad this turned out safely, though.

I have to echo Mrs Darling.

omg there was just a story on the news not TWO days ago explaininig how carjackers do this EXACT thing to get folks to roll down their window so they can punch them and take the car. WOW. Glad you are ok.

Oh my gosh, that is so scary! I'm so glad you're both home now and okay.

You already know not to roll the window down ever again, right? And um, invest in some mace, or maybe a taser, just in case. That's just too scary.

Oh my god. I am glad you're both ok! I am shaking just reading this! Be careful. Stay safe. *hugs*

I'm so glad you are both safe. I can't imagine, that must have been so scary. I hope you are feeling better today.

Wow that is scary! and what an a-hole. Some people really do get off on trying to act all big hey? I am sure you were being careful and did not pull out in front of him... why would you risk your childs life? I wonder if that guy is so perfect that he has never made a mistake driving? What a j-a%$.
Anyways, glad you and baby are alright. And like everyone else said... don't roll down your window for anyone!

Never ever ever ever ever roll down your window to anyone you do not know approaching you. Ever.
My brother was beaten through his car window due to a road rage incident. I myself have also been in a fistfight due to road rage. A friend who was in my car once got spit on for rolling down his window to jaw at someone. It's fucking insane. You never know who the hell is out there.

Without having a clue of what went down I can only guess that he may have been on a motorcyle? If so, it still doesn't justify his actions, but does make me want to reiterate that we all need to be careful of peeps on motorcycles. They are tough to see.

Glad you are ok.

Well, he was up to SOMETHING and changed his mind when he saw Gabby! I'm so glad you are okay!

Always keep your doors locked. Never roll down the window for a stranger. In fact, you should never have any of your windows rolled down while in traffic. Keep your purse on the floor, not on the seat where it can be seen. If you're scared and can't move in traffic, lay on that horn. It will usually chase them away.

I am so glad you are okay. I hope you are feeling a bit better today. How scary! I am pissed and freaked out along with you.

You should have cut his sac.

WTF, lady? never roll down your window for strangers!

oh, wait. that's been said already.

well, even if he assaulted you, you coulda busted out with "The Lion" moves... that'd scare him.
