CJAD reports that a Hampstead woman’s epic standoff with a construction worker is quickly going viral. When the construction worker asked the woman driving a BMW to back up so he could get through, she refused, quickly became hysterical and then even threatened to call the police! Thankfully, the construction worker had a dashboard camera to capture the whole thing.
Within three days over half a million viewers have watched this video on YouTube. For some reason YouTube pulled it down shortly thereafter but copies are still circulating (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iqf5UFbE6uU).
C’mon folks. It may be slowing us down a little, it may be a little dustier than we like and it may be somewhat confusing with multiple road closures, missing signage or safety cones and congestion at traffic lights but it’s just a temporary inconvenience that will result in smoother roads for a long while.
Stop honking, stop cutting others off and take it slow. Just relax. And we’ll catch up at the next red light anyhow!

Hot summer days, short fuses. I think she was inconsiderate, and should have realized that the trucker cannot backup safely when parking was on both sides of the street.

I don’t know this lady & why she became so out of control but I think that this young Lady desperately needs some professional ANGER MANAGEMENT.This certainly is not a role model for our young generation & this type of behavior gives our COMMUNITY a very bad reputation.I would like to compliment the truck driver for keeping his “cool”. Don’t worry be happy you’re on candid camera !!!!
