I was amazed at how many people went out of their way to do something damaging and destructive. What is wrong with these people?

I have a karma story I want to tell.

I was driving through a neighboring community, one that is known for being one of the wealthiest in NJ. Now, I am not saying all wealthy people are mean or that they are jerks, but a guy pulled out of his mansion's driveway and immediately began tailgating me. I went the speed limit and probably should have pulled over to let the annoying jerk by but I did not.

We turned into the reservation, which is a big, wooded area, and he continued to stay on my tail. Seriously, this was getting annoying. I continued, however, and then he passed me on a yellow line, so therefore it was illegal. Within seconds a big black (unmarked) SUV is flashing lights, and it passes me. It was an undercover cop who had been watching. He zoomed ahead of me and pulled the guy over. The last thing I saw was in my driver's side rear view mirror and it was of this cop trudging up to give him a ticket.

I laughed all the way to my destination.

Oh and back at the time I looked up the fines for all the possible offenses he could have gotten and if he was given multiple tickets he was looking at something like $800 in fines, not to mention court costs and surcharges on his license.
