So, I've debated posting since this happened to me on Monday. I typically stay away from confrontation and just let things roll off my back. But, I'm still kind of mad at what happened the other day.I was in line at the Kingwood PO (first mistake) when the person at the front of the lobby machine announced that the machine was out. (Duh, forgot someone mentioned that week and that I had issues 3 weeks ago... silly me to think it was fixed by now.) The lady behind then ran to the main line, so now I was behind her.She turns to me, after a minute, and asks if I had a white car. I acknowledged that I did... she proceeded to tell me that she wasn't being mean in telling me, but that she felt I was too close to her, when driving to the PO, and that I made her scared being that close.?! I was so caught off-guard. I proceeded to tell her that I was sorry she felt that way, that I wasn't close to her at all (I was at least 1 car length away most of the time) and then I decided that I didn't have 15 minutes to waste in line, and I left.As I stewed the rest of the evening, of course I thought of perfect responses like, "Maybe you should pay attention to the cars in front of you instead of behind you..." and "You do know that objects appear closer in the mirror than they are, right?," and finally, "Maybe if you paid attention to the road, you wouldn't have driven in the left lane as you approached the PO on Feather Lakes Road."Of course there was a huge line in the PO and I did not want to make a scene or stand behind her for another 15 minutes. So, to the English-born lady with the pink vanity plate - bug off and worry about yourself. I was in control on MY car the entire time. No wonder my DH is not fond of the Brits. 4951

I am not an English lady but:
 
One car length is too close.
 
Actually being aware of the car behind you is one of the best habits you can develop as a driver.
 
Having said that, I would have respected my place in line at the post office. 4951
