OK so in the midst of a shopping trip in preparation for the local pride picnic, I had an unexpected situation occur. I was on my way heading back home after having done the first bout of shopping in the late morning to early afternoon. An incoming friend staying Tammy place had not yet arrived in town.
As I was heading down the one main street towards home, probably less than a mile away to turn off when I noticed...there was a car on my passenger side that seem to speed up a little bit to catch up with me. And I noticed that the driver was using his right hand to push up and down like in a pumping action, but not with a fist necessarily.
At first I didn't see what was happening. I just paid my own business driving straight ahead. But then I noticed that the car had, sped up a little bit again to be parallel with me. When I looked over I realized that the guy was looking right at me and was making the same motion again. That's when I thought, "Is he cruising me?" So, I thought I'm not really sure this is what's going on.
And this car in the passenger lane, drifted ahead of me as I let off the gas a little bit. I watched and his tail lights flickered on and off. (AND I'm old enough to know driving cruising habits when they happen.) Then I was completely like a confused and surprised. I wasn't really sure what to do next. LOL
At this point, I decided to catch up a little bit and the person driving in the passenger vehicle drifted back this time, behaving the same way. I figured that's what must be going on. I then made sure to try to wait for traffic so I could get over in the lane behind him.
Now I would've normally been turning left to go towards home. We approach the traffic light and he decided to make a right turn on an angle to go through a suburban neighborhood area. I followed along at a safe but slow distance; making sure it wasn't being weirdly obvious. He drove through the residential neighborhood for a couple of blocks and then made a left turn back towards the commercial area.
I followed as well and noticed he made a right turn into the parking lot of a local ice-skating rink. I made the right turn into the same parking lot, keeping an eye to wear his vehicle had gone. His vehicle had pulled through most of the parking lot to the far end where it was not as populated; away from the entrance to the building.
His vehicle had pulled over in a more empty section and parked. I decided to slowly proceed ahead and not turn right away in the same to direction. I went past him by two rows made the left and came around so that we were going to end up being parallel next to each other, but pointing ahead opposite lanes; basically driver side next to driver side.
His driver side window is down. I made a couple quick decisions. I put up my windows, turned off the car, and grabbed my mobile phone. I was still feeling a little nervous about if this is a set up or not. I get out of my vehicle, close the door, and walked that just two feet to the side of his vehicle. He saw me standing there and said "Hey". I said "hey" back and asked him how he was doing. He said he was alright. And I noted he definitely seemed nervous which results in me feeling I'm not really sure what was going on.
