Probably took offense because he is from San Diego and is rude like everybody else:) Kidding of course – in case anyone thinks I’m serious. People seem to transform into their evil twins when they drive, and I agree that most people are nicer off the road. That is not to say that people in SoCal are nice, especially compared to other places – like just about everywhere except a few cities on the East Coast.
Remember, I’m the guy who had a crazed lunatic in a Mercedes with kids in the car follow me into a San Marcos Home Depot parking lot, get out, and nearly attack me in front of the store. I walked towards the shovels on display outside the store and had every intention of smashing his head open in front of his entire family if he assaulted me. After numerous other less serious incidents this one took the cake and it was this very day that I decided I would get out of SoCal. The flashy, materialistic SoCal lifestyle combined with traffic and the cost of living force many otherwise nice people to transform into status driven, inconsiderate, self absorbed pricks.
