My boss was driving a BIG box truck down 95 with me riding shotgun at about 1:00 AM. South of Philly construction has only one lane open. There is a on ramp entering from the right. Nice and civilized one car from 95, one from the ramp, one from 95, one from the ramp. My boss lets one car in and is timed to pull right behind that car. An arrogant lady flaps her hand out the window as if to say "you hold on!" (with amazingly long finger nails BTW) and tries to slip in as the 2nd car from the ramp. Without changing anything like braking or steering my boss asks "what is she trying to do?" and proceeds to grind down the side of her car with the large Ben-Hur style lugnuts on our truck's front right wheel. I hang out the window to make sure I don't miss any of the fun while she has now lodged firmly in the traffic barrels. You could see the hole car bounce as she threw a tantrum in the car. Since stopping would have brought all of I95 South to a complete stop, I suggested to my boss that we continue on.
