Members Super_Donut_Man Posted November 23, 2008 Members Share Posted November 23, 2008 So I am stopped at a light, and I had glanced over to my right, and I hear some guy honk at me, and I realized that it was green, so I went. I am a rather slow driver, as gas is expensive, so this guy starts honking more as I am going. So I decide to take my sweet ass time (I was at the speed limit well before we made it to the freeway too). Guy drives by me, and we exchange the middle finger. Aparently that was not okay with him, so he rolls down the window and starts yelling at me to pull over and fight him. So I roll up my window and ignore the idiot. He sped off and about 30 seconds later he slows down and gets over in the lane that I am i, in front of me. I was just about to get off the freeway, so I go over a couple of lanes, he gets over 1, so I cut across 2 lanes and get off the freeway as the guy had passed the exit. Dude has anger issues.

Members Cpt. Spliff Posted November 23, 2008 Members Share Posted November 23, 2008 Guy drives by me, and we exchange the middle finger. So I am stopped at the lights and this sunday-driver is sitting munching a donut, oblivious to the lights. Second time it is green light I honk my horn. He gives me a filthy look and drives off at near stalling speed. I drive past him and we exchange our middle-fingers. As I drive on, I realize I have another man's finger and try to stop him. Of course he has found out that he now has a much better middle-finger, ignores me and will not stop. I try to cut him off, but he manages to slip away. Now, can I have my finger back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Crescent Seven Posted November 24, 2008 Members Share Posted November 24, 2008 I know a guy whose wife was driving down the highway in the right lane, pissed some lady off because she was doing the speed limit, the lady passed her, cut her off, then brake checked. His wife died at the scene, and his 3 year old son spent a week in intensive care. The lady who brake checked wasn't involved in the wreck, but was followed by witnesses and later arrested and charged with vehicular manslaughter. The most {censored}ed up part is, dude drove past the accident on his way home from work, and realized the car on it's top was his wife's. {censored} getting angry on the road. It's not worth it.

Members King Kashue Posted November 24, 2008 Members Share Posted November 24, 2008 {censored} getting angry on the road. It's not worth it. C7 +1 You're controlling 2+ tons of steel, it's a deadly weapon... If you choose not to control your anger, choose not to call a taxi when you're drunk, choose not to pay attention when making a phone call, or putting on your makeup, or messing with your mp3 player, then it's just been good fortune if you haven't harmed someone yet... It's amazing how many adults have no idea how to act like one... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members L. Ron Hoover Posted November 24, 2008 Members Share Posted November 24, 2008 I had a guy cut me off last winter on an icy street. I honked the horn at him as I swerved to avoid hitting him. When we got to the next light, he wanted to fight me. He had a 7 or 8 year old child in the car with him. He rolled down the passenger side window and yelled "come on, I'll {censored}ing punch your lights out" etc. I calmly (though I was mad as hell) told him that he cut me off and I had to swerve into the suicide lane to avoid him and that next time he should look before pulling out into traffic. I think he was about to get out of his car when the light turned green. I got his licence plate and called the cops. Nothing ever came of it though. Nice example to set for your kid.

We get a lot of rain, snow and fog here and every year there are people killed because they didn't slow down in heavy rain and hydroplaned, not to mention the massive numbers of 4WD vehicles that end up in the median or the ditch every winter because the people driving them think that they are invincible. I used to be bad for letting the idiots on the road upset me, but I realized that I'd have a better chance at avoiding getting hit by them if I was calm.

Members georgestrings Posted November 24, 2008 Members Share Posted November 24, 2008 {censored} getting angry on the road. It's not worth it. C7 For the most part, I agree with this - EXCEPT when it involved someone's who's stupid {censored} almost seriously {censored}s me up while riding my motorcycle - then, it's pretty difficult to not get angry... I did break a yuppie's nose one time after a rediculously retarded traffic "manuever" of his nearly killed me, then he had the nerve to get snotty with me while his bitchy GF gave me dirty looks for rather emphatically explaining the error of his way through the driver's side window... Now, if he had merely said he was sorry, that honestly would've been the end of it - instead, his snotty reply of ''Well, I didn't see you" was answered by the breaking of his nose, and the question of: "Well, did you see that???" Naturally, both their attitudes changed quite a bit after that - I pretty much expected the need to raise bail after that little episode, but nothing else ever became of it... The above incident is one example of why I had to answer the way I did on the "anger management test"... If I said I've never hit anyone because they made me angry, I'd be lieing - I haven't in a long time, though... I totally agree that the OP's encounter was stupid beyond belief, btw... - georgestrings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Captain Fathead Posted November 24, 2008 Members Share Posted November 24, 2008 motorcycle Car is always going to beat motorcycle in a collision. I've seen plenty of bikers do stupid {censored} (cutting on the shoulder, between traffic, etc.) but when push comes to shove, the biker is much more likely to get messed up in an accident. If you were just doing your own thing, I think the guy probably deserved it. "I didn't see you" my ass... just say "my bad." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Crescent Seven Posted November 24, 2008 Members Share Posted November 24, 2008 The cops saved that douchebag stoner idiot from the ass whooping of a lifetime. Of course, it was because of the cops he got clobbered like that, he saw them and looked over and *POW*!! He's also super lucky he didn't get run over after he got knocked out.

Members georgestrings Posted November 24, 2008 Members Share Posted November 24, 2008 Car is always going to beat motorcycle in a collision. I've seen plenty of bikers do stupid {censored} (cutting on the shoulder, between traffic, etc.) but when push comes to shove, the biker is much more likely to get messed up in an accident. If you were just doing your own thing, I think the guy probably deserved it. "I didn't see you" my ass... just say "my bad." Agreed that there are alot of motorcylists that do stupid {censored}, and cause their own troubles - but after being hit by a car a couple of times, I assure you that I'm not one of them... In that particular case, he and I were approaching each other, coming towards an intersection - he started to turn right, then at the last second went hard left - pretty much doing a 180, right as I was coming through the same intersection... Now, from his "new" direction of travel, there's a Do Not Enter sign there - so besides doing this in front of me, he was now going the wrong way... I ended up locking it up, going into a sideways skid, and barely missing him by inches on one side, and the street sign in the median on the other... Now, after chasing him down and getting him to pull over(stupid move on his part), I proceeded to vent on him a bit, while he and his GF gave me {censored}ty looks, like I shouldn't even be talking to them... I can honestly say that if he'd shown a shred of remorse for nearly killing me with his stupid {censored}, he would've went on his way without harm - but between the original incident, then taking off, THEN giving me {censored}ty looks and getting snotty with me - he's damn lucky a broken nose was all he got... After the punch, I asked him if he wanted to get out of the car for a little more - and he declined, with both of them having an entirely different expression this time around, hahaha!!! - so, I figured I'd get the hell outta dodge, and keep my fingers crossed that they'd be too scared to call it in(I *might* have hinted that I'd come visit them if they called the cops on me)... Nothing else ever became of it, and I'd pretty much forgotten about it for the most part... - georgestrings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Crescent Seven Posted November 24, 2008 Members Share Posted November 24, 2008 No possible way. The airbag didn't put off any dust or vent any gas when it deployed. It would have sent that guy's head into the headrest so hard he would have been knocked stupid.C7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
