I kept my eyes on the road, ignoring him. No idea what he said, but he looked like a jerk. I felt sorry for the girl passenger, and wanted to tell her she could do better. They then slowed in front of me, probably wanting a reaction, which they didn't get. Ignoring them worked, and they sped off.
This is funny...the other day I stopped in the shop, and my friend who works there told me he saw me last week on the road where this incident happened. In hindsight, I think it was him who yelled out the window, probably saying hi. So much for being a jerk! He's about as far from a jerk as can be. Shame on me for thinking the worst in people.

I'm going back to my old game of thinking that the things yelled out of windows (which can't be understood) are words of encouragement. Sometimes, it's true. Why not just assume the people are good?
