knowing that would startle me, I said "Have you ever been polite in your whole life?".. funny what can pop out of the mouth at times like that.

He said growling "move your fat ass" mumble mumble glaring and his eyes just crazy angry

White gray haired mid 50s guy. Looked prosperous enough. Did he expect me to wait for him?

It am a female and a fast walker.

I can't remember this much aggression over nothing before.

I wondered later if he had a GUN in the truck.. I won't even engage next time this kind of thing happens, too dangerous.
