Scary/funny story about an escalation. Perhaps we need a new topic thread for these stories:

It was the '70s, I was just a little boy. I was riding in the back of our VW rabbit with mom, dad and sis' going down the highway.

I don't know if my dad did anything wrong, but all of a sudden this guy speeds around us and skids to a stop in front of us blocking the road. We stop, traffic behind us stops.

The guy jumps out and storms back to our car. We've got the windows up and doors lock, but we can hear him screaming about us cutting him off. He starts punching the driver side window over and over.

I really don't recall a lot more...I'm sure my mom was screaming at him and/or my dad.

Eventually the guy gives up, goes back to his car and speeds off. I can't imagine his tantrum really made him feel better, and he mashed up his right hand for sure punching the window.

He gave us a good scare, proved how strong auto glass is, and probably had a hurt hand for several days...that was just plain stupid.

I don't think we filed a report and asked anyone to go after the guy. Why I don't know. I was just a kid.
