Hater of a different kind.

[H2Finally]

Let me start by saying that I drive fast. Normally I would go from stand still to speed limit quickly, and perhaps hover about 5 miles above at the most, when in the city. BUT I do not drive dangerously. I do not do sudden breaks.. I have blind spot mirrors (both sides) and use them in addition to turning my head.. I even installed a 3-second-on-blink-auto-off turn signals because it's a pet peeve of mine when drivers change lanes without signaling.

Today it was 98&#176, my windows down, sunroof open, and I was chillin ..

Suddenly a guy in an old beat-up pos pick-up pulled up fast on my right (slower lane), and yelled something.

I slowed down and asked him "scuse me?" and he yelled "slow the fu(k down *******!!". I immediately thought I must have inadvertantly cut him off, and ask "sorry, did I cut you??" He continued yelling and cursing, so I repeated my question -- to which he replied, "I didn't say that, did I?"

I mean he was livid. Curse after curse was spewing out of his mouth. He was so enraged, he took out his cell phone, yelling "that's it, you piece of sh1t, I'm taking a picture with my cell phone camera, and I'm calling 911..!! blah blah blah!!!"

Now, I am really confused. He sped up to catch up with me on the SLOW lane -- to yell and curse and snap pictures and make a call to the police -- all the while driving at 45mph (speed limit) -- to tell me to "slow down"???????

Remember, I did NOT cut him off...!

So in the end, all I can do was to simply shake my head as I saw the hole in traffic -- changed lane, sped up, changed lane again, sped up some more*, and crossed the traffic light just as it turned amber (NOT cutting off anyone! ) -- leaving him caught at the red light waaayyyyy behind....

I hope he didn't have a heart attack from his enragement.. RAAARRRR11!

* Don't y'all just LOVE our 315HP H2!!!?

You never let someone like that in front of you. If you're slowing down and trying to pull over and let them in front of you all they have to do is slam on the brakes and make you hit them.

This kind of crap is why I carry a .357 Magnum. I'm not looking for trouble, but if it comes I'll be ready.

As Christian Slater said in "True Romance" - "It's better to have a gun and not need it than to need a gun and not have it."

[DennisAJC]

I just squint and jabber,

"Wah? Wah? Me no speaky engrish ! Me no speaky engrish!"

Watch his head explode.


I`ll show you how it`s done in Moab.

Other than not knowing what he was reaching for I think I would have waited for him to take a picture and just smiled and wave for the photo op

This thread is bringing back cool memories of some of my driving encounters. I remember some drunk coming up to my window and saying i splashed him in the parking lot. I apologized up and down to him as he hollared and spit in my face . After a couple of minutes of this dickhead screaming at me he realized i wasnt doing anythinbg and started saying he would kick my ass if he ever saw me again. I just happened to have a suit and tie on (which isnt me at all) and my wife said just drive away you have your new suit on. I was all set to pull ahead and he said to my wife " hey broad you married a winner here". I looked at her and she said dont do it ! I said sit tight. I put the car in park and got out. The guy took a double take as i grabbed him and slammed him against my car and drove him about six times in the face, and told him to get outa my face assh+le. Then from nowhere his girlfriend starts kicking me in the legs , saying let go of him. I said back off barbie and i'll let dufus go free. I shoved him away and he didnt have anymore to say. I felt bad five minutes later after i calmed down. The guy was just drunk (which i have no tollerance for) and i got a broken window out of it where his head slammed up against it. I had just gotten the car too it was a Monte Carlo SS. The moral to the story is "It pays to avoid confrontation".

A scenario could be that he stops in front of you, gets out and approaches your car with something in his hand. He has already shown his tendancy to be the aggressor and should you not be able to merge back into traffic without endangering an innocent driver..... well.....

This is just one of a few possible things one could do. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

Avoiding the escalation is the key, doing so without continuing down the road is ideal. Keeping the other person at a disadvantage to you is a plus and covering your ass in case you have to act on their aggressiveness is a necessity. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>Paragon, you should be an attorney, a political writer, or a preacher man..

I have to agree with redbull and Klaus; knowing you can pull out real firepower of your own is quite a comfort if it came right down to it. I have found that if they see the case open in your lap or on the seat next to you they tend to back off.

I've pretty much trained myself that as soon as someone even opens there trap to bitch at me, I tell them to "go f+ck yourself assh+le!"

Amazingly , nobody has jumped out and kicked my ass yet.

I do this too. If there is no one behind me I'll stab the brake and let the idiot go ahead of me, then follow them around town until they panic.

I would have pulled over and kicked a mud hole in his head

Man I don't think I would of been able to let that go. I would of probably ran him off the road, than I would of ran his head into his car hood a few times.

[BlueTJCO]

But I'm young, dumb, and full of something....so what do I know.....

[JamesT]

Oh man this really pisses em off. I do that open mouth kiss thing toward them...the kind where you stick out your tounge and waggle it around. Man they get pissed! It hilarious to watch there reaction!
