  • I guess I was in the way or something. Long and language

    Monday night on the way home after a very long day this happened.
    I was stopped at a rail crossing waiting for the train to clear the road.
    The guy in front of me turns on his left blinkers after the train passed.
    Seeing the huge line of cars he is going to have to wait for I signal a right turn into the clear right lane - no one in sight.
    I did see another blinker about 5 cars behind me and figured it was safe to move over - WRONG.
    Asshat that was 5 cars behind me is now in my back seat his engine is revving like crazy and he lays on the horn.
    I look back and he shows me 2 middle fingers - lovely.
    I ignore him, wrong move - dickhead then drives up onto the curb to roll down his window and yell at me.
    I am driving an old car with manual windows and I'm sure he has nothing to say that I want to hear but I roll the window down anyways.
    He is done ranting by the time I manage to get my windows down - no big loss.
    He stops at a light in front of me after swerving past me back onto the road so close I almost eat his bumper and have to haul on the brakes.
    I see him making rude gestures in the window and have enough.
    I get out of the car and start stomping up to his window - I was pissed enough to smash his mirror off.
    The little shit gets out and I almost laugh - the dude is tiny and fatter than me and thats saying something.
    I asked him if he wanted to repeat what he just said to my face.
    He didn't - I pointed out that I did not appreciate him trying to cause 2 accidents with me in less than 5 seconds.
    He then made the mistake of blaming me - he had his blinkers on first (That does not give you permission to launch your car like a fucking saturn 5 rocket) - so fucking what you cocksucking, motherfucker I replied.
    He acted like a 5th grader and started the whole who you calling a bleepity bleep
    I then yelled at him while pointing my finger right in his face - you! dumbass!
    Everything about this guy was making me want to slug him in the face and not stop untill he was a thin red paste on the pavement.
    I then turned around got back in my car.
    My adrenaline was hammering so hard I felt dizzy and my muscles were spasming so hard it was killing my back injury.
    I could tell the guy was about to shit his pants but who the hell does he think he is anyway?
    Racing to a long stoplight almost causing 2 accidents with the same car and almost getting his ass beat sure was worth - what exactly?
    If my wife and child had been in the car I would have gone postal on his ass.
    Shit I'm still pissed about this.
    I was an idiot for getting out of the car, I'm glad nothing horrible happened.
    But damn what a worthless piece of shit...

    Okay, cookies aren't sufficient for this one.

    This shit is *not* worth sending up your blood pressure. Go distract yourself and relax!

      Not only not worth raising your bloodpressure, but not worth risking finding out what types of weapons he carries in his car - you do hear some really horrible stores that start as road rage.

      Not saying you shouldn't have been upset, but not worth the risk.

        Indeed. I've seen some stories (videos) like that where the innocent driver ends up being the one who gets arrested too. ... Simply because the innocent driver was getting spun up enough to pick the wrong choices in how to react. Sometimes the asshat driver even does it on *purpose*. For the same reasons.

        Sometimes the best thing to do - even though it can be hard - is to completely ignore them. Not just "don't get out of the car" but... don't even bother trying to listen to them. Make THEM be the ones who have to do all the escalating. And then make them work for it too.

          Well done on avoiding perpetrating violence, but please be careful! Even over here where guns are not the norm, there's too many stories of people ending up beaten shitless with tyre irons etc... If you see them be an arse once, just hang back 'cause they obviously won't have a problem with acting like an arse again, and at least if you're a few cars back you can hopefully avoid the scene of the accident when it finally happens!

            I let the guy get way ahead of me after this incident.
            Being close to home I did not want this turd knowing where I lived.
            I probably should have taken down his plate number and called the cops.
            Living in Canada guns probably aren't going to be a problem.
            If he had pulled a knife or tire iron on me I would have disarmed him and then beaten him with his severed arms - LOL
            I haven't practiced martial arts in quite a while but I can move fast for an invalid fat dude.
            Realistically if he did have a weapon I would have jumped onto the roof of his minivan, called for help and dialed the cops.
            If he wanted to swing at me with a knife while I was up there, he would get a dented roof from me jumping around to avoid him and possibly a face full of a size 12 1/2 wide boot.
            Considering how short he was he couldn't even reach me up there
            Oh well rant over.
            I don't know why some people have the need to drive like their ass is on fire and running people off the road will put it out.

              In an effort to lighten your mood (And cause Chimps are always funny) I suggest you get a Trunk Monkey installed. Reading your inital post made me think of this video, with dumbass being the one screaming at your window in it

                  My Dad was one of those who could not stand bad drivers who cut him off, pulled out in front of him, etc. Not that he would stop and say anything, but he would yell, oh, he would yell & yell. How he never had a stroke I'll never know. And as my Mom pointed out to him for decades, the other driver never heard the yelling, only she and us kids got that priviledge.

                  After growing up with that, I try hard to shrug it off and keep my distance, as somewhere, sometime, I know they'll cause an accident & I don't want to be in it.

                  Lately, hubby has been a bit stressed, and is beginning to get too upset over other drivers - he's going to be getting an ultimatum soon, either chill out, or I won't ride with him. He turns into my Dad, and I drive myself.

                    I love the Trunk monkey!
                    Can I get a trunk gorilla?
                    I'll pet it and feed it and love it! Can I George can I? oops ;p
                    I have gotten in the habbit of saying Help and Protect (God help this person learn how to drive and protect others from them untill they do) in most situations like that.
                    It usually works but this guy just wouldn't quit.
                    My wife got tired of me ranting at people when they did insane things on the road - I'm trying to improve...

                      I didn't drive for a while, and when I returned, I had mellowed out considerably. Nekojin heartily appreciates that fact.

                      However, now that I drive regularly again, I'm slowly getting cranky about idiot drivers, again. >_<

                        If you're gonna rant, at least be amusing about it. I'm one of those who likes to "yell" at idiots when I'm driving, but for me, it's just stress relief and I try to challenge myself to come up with new and interesting things to call people.

                        A few months ago, I was at a stop sign waiting to turn right onto a road, when a motorcyclist decided to turn up the road beside me. My car has a huge dent in the hood that came from a deer sitting on it. But Bubba-rider decided he was gonna stare at the dent and not watch his turn.. and nearly added his own version onto it. I believe I called him" the unfortunate result of an inbred speed bump crossing bloodlines with a stupid street pizza in waiting, all ordered on a plate of stupid."

                        However, the difference is that once I give my quip, I let it go, shrug it off and.. well, just put all frustration into that one quip. My hubby gets exasperated on occasion, threatening to drive... but I'm a much worse backseat driver and quipster than I am a driver

                        PS, make sure windows are closed if you're going to do quips. I don't think some people would appreciate being called the offspring of a pink-purple tie-dyed sheep and a telephone pole...
                        If I make no sense, I apologize. I'm constantly interrupted by an actual toddler.

                          Like the bottom line I want to add to a certain bumper sticker:

                          Don't drive faster thn your guardian angel can fly.

                          Fast angel is always trumped by half-fast driver.
