Am I a bad person?

[Anonymous]

I posted this in the wrong place, I'll repost here.

I took the H3 for a nice easy drive with the little woman today. No wheelin', just a drive up to the top of Four Peaks, a graded forest service road about 20 miles long, no place to pass. About 1/3 of the way up, I catch up to Jethro in his Chevy truck and he decides not to let me by. Instead, he starts flooring it around every corner and every uphill, throwing up as much gravel and dust as he can. No biggy, I just hang back there for a couple of miles and we enjoy the ride, just talking and having fun. Eventually, he loses it in one of the corners and sticks it in a ditch. I wait behind him as he spins the tires, digging in to a hopelessly stuck position. He and his buddy get out and pull out a tow strap, but I drive right by and don't even acknowledge them. There's a little traffic out there so eventually someone will pull him out, but I don't feel bad at all, in fact, I'm pretty happy about the whole thing.

Anyone think I should have pulled him sorry ass out?

Only reason I see to pull him out would be to get a picture http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif
Will you be at the Parker 400 next week? We're coming out.

Anon,

But then again, it could be a chick thing.....

[RIC-H0]

I woulda pulled over a few yards ahead of him and made him come over and ask for help, then mention to him that it'll cost him the beer in his cooler to get him out! http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

[DDWH]

[bparker]

Actually, I was just discussing that subject with someone on one of the boat forums. I'm hoping to go, but I've got a crew coming over to paint my garage floor (three day job) and I've been working night shifts lately so I don't know how much sleep I'm gonna get. If I go, and it looks like I will, I'm just going for the day, leave about 0330 on Saturday and come back that night. Gotta work a swing on Sunday. I'm hoping to go.

[Hummer crazy]

Being a Chevy I would Have thought about it But Being a A** not so sure I could do it

[f5fstop]

I guess it would depend on whether or not I thought he was intentionally trying to prevent me from passing, or just acting like an idiot.
If you had actually started to pass and he prevented that by speeding up, then I would keep on going and gave him the infamous finger wave.
Then again, I believe in gene pool cleansing. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

[H3CANE]

I wouldn't have ...

[HummerJim]

Exactly what I would have done.

[banshee13]

What is this Parker 400 ? Can you give me the details?

thanks

[Grandman]

I think a sermon was in order .

Ah my son this is the tragedy that befalls those who treat there fellow man in such a manner , God has taught you a lesson blah balh blah .

They sound like the type that would just hate that . Lust PCP dust and a Microbus http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

[timgco]

LMAO! "The big race" song comes to mind, but with you flipping him off as you drove by the finish line.

[hmrlvr]

I guess it's actually the Parker 425<A HREF="http://www.off-road.com/race/schedule/" TARGET=_blank>http://www.off-road.com/race/schedule/

</A>"What is this Parker 400 ? Can you give me the details"?

[RubHer Yellow Ducky]

To each there own BUT I would have stopped and helped. If during the help part he became abusive, cut the rope and leave, but helping might (MIGHT) have converted him/it to someday help someone else in the same situation.

I agree the gravel spitting up the path is real nasty thinking/doing, but two wrongs don't make a right.......

TYD

Parker 425 here:

Fun to watch, even better to race.

[fxanimator1]

At least you didn't kick up dust on them, that makes you a good person in my book. I'm not sure if I could have resisted.

[wannabeH3]

only pull him out if hes in your way when u come back down

[DWPC]

I'd have offered him a hand unless he'd been intentionally rude. Your post doesn't indicate there was any blatant offensive behavior, just that he didn't let you pass him. I suspect he was just avoiding being stuck in your dust for 20 miles. Minor offense. You said yourself it was no big deal. Maybe I'm missing something.

[First Hummer]

just put the shoe on the other foot would he have stopped for you thats all you need to ask yourself.

[mudderducker]

I would have stopped to atleast confirm the guy was a d@#k. upon asking if he needed help, he would prolly realize the err in his ways pretty quick. who knows, might end up being your best buddy after helping him out. or, you can get the satisfaction of telling him to start hoofin it http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif a win, win situation. and God will still love you.
