I was sitting in a turnlane today leaving lunch as a dude came fliin around the corner almost tagging me in my coupe...........he stops in the middle of the road 10 ft back and starts yeling at me,(i didnt do anything to piss him off, i didnt even look at him) so i look out the window backwards and he's threatining me, telling me to get out of my car saying "your dead" "im gunna kill you"(by the way this dude is about 250lbs of roid monkey, his eyes glazed over, and mad as hell) So he goes into a parking lot and comes back around the street and pulls up right next to me and my window, now the dude is even more pissed off, screaming at me,sayin "im gunna pop your ass" so i said fuck you i didnt do anything, thinking i have to get out and fight this huge dude. light turns green and i take off.......... wondering what the fuck happened????? he didnt like my hotrod???? Well on the way home i stopped by the hardware store and bought a hard ass 3ft hickory stick and some clamps for behind my seat.... Sorry for the post but im still a little pissed about it.i have to vent
Roid Rage...What a dick. Be careful though, people get killed over stupid shit like this. Better to smile and punch it and leave the fucker in the dust... Still good to have that hickory stick or 9mm, though, just in case.
HAHAHA, must be one of those Solvang gangbangers. In all reality. I got the finger too from some guy, the other day and didnt know, what was wrong. There is alot of jelousy and anger out there. Don't worry about it, welcome to the club.
ive got handguns....................................im only 18 though,just getting caught they will lock your ass up in jail for a little bit...
I've got one of those monster flashlights that takes 8 "D" batteries. It's less conspicious than an axe handle.
reach under neath the front seat pull the pistol out and just simply ask him if he has a problem more than likely he'll shit his pants and take off in a hurry
he had more scars on his face than rambo!!!!!! i can fight damn well but this dude was deffinetly on drugs...
Funny... Being a band geek all of my life, I have encountered this attack from those who are the proud owners of a three inch penis and MANLY biceps, all of my life. wether it be my car is cooler than theirs or my brain is bigger, it NEVER sems to amaze me the fact that some bastards fail to evolve.
Go to a truckstop and get a tire thumper. It looks like a 2 foot long baseball bat with a steel core and a good handle. I've got one under my seat and it discourages behavior unbecoming of a gentleman. And it has an automotive use so it's not a weapon. Guns just get you into more shit than you want.
legally right now yer stick is a weapon! if you put a rubber tip on the end of it, legally it becomes a walking cane! FRITZ
You probably did the safest and smartest thing possible. God only knows what was wrong with that dude. We have all heard stories of this kind of thing escalating.
Too true. Also, huge dudes usually don't fight. They're used to acting tough and then everyone just cowers. My grandfather told me when I was like 10 years old that if a bigger kid starts to give me shit that I should shove them as hard as I can and egg them on waiting for them to make the first punch.... and it's never failed me. You shove and start taunting them and they back off, because you DIDN'T cower. Makes them uncomfortable, like you might know kung fu or have a secret you ain't sharing that will let you kick their ass. Of course, the better thing to do is not to get to that point and make them feel like a total retard on their own. Like if they start screaming just look at them, say nothing, and smile. Then take off when the light turns green and let them stay right behind you. Wait until you can box them in and they can't get over, stick your finger out the window, get them caught up in traffic, and get on with your day knowing that you have better things to do, and that you just took a HUUUUUUUUGE SHIT in that guys daily cheerios.
Well from a guy who has been in YOUR position and "did" something about it!!... Usually the people with the loudest mouth are the biggest pussies!! In the --past-- When I have been in that situation, even on the freeway I would lock up my brakes, walk back to the guys car reach out for his neck and punch him, It got me in trouble!!... All it takes is for a license plate number and description of you, and you are FUCKED!!! I have, ...never mind!!! It is ALL cleared up now but "in the past" I have spent some time in court.... IT IS NOT WORTH IT, NO MATTER HOW KOOL IT MAY SEEM AT THE TIME!!!!!'' Walk/drive away!!!!! I have finally written on my steering wheel...."RELAX"....AND...."CALM DOWN"!!!! believe me, it is NOT worth the hassle, money, or time in jail!!!!! I wish more people around here were into the same stuff I am into so I could hang out more with them and have some of them "rub" off on me!!!!!!!! Just trying to help out,....Ken P/S, yes I do carry a gun but I guess it is to let the guy know it isn't worth it with "ME", But remember if you pull a gun, you better be ready to use it!! You are better off NOT doing that, me too!!! But I am hard headed!!!
Not worth the conciquences. One laps of judgement can ruin your life. Friend in High School,flipped off a guy who cut him off. The guy turned around,got out of his car and shot,DEAD! Nobody stopped to help or anything. They just let him lay there and bleed to death. I keep a stick in my car,just in case somebody tries to punch my card. I did have a gun,but i've got more to lose now. No more guns.
im just worried, cause ive seen the dude before, i dont know were he lives but if i come out of a resturant or something and my car is (excuse my language) Fucked up it will deffinetly escalate, i didnt wanna start anything ya know. i was just enjoying my damn hotrod! i did do the right thing by leaving. i know the stick is a weapon, you legally cannot have a baseball bat either under your seat............damn california!
Kinda reminds me of a time back when I was all of 12 years old.... I got the "brainy" idea of flipping a guy off while I was in my moms 63 TBird sittin in the passengers seat... The guy almost ran into my mom at an intersection and my mom about crapped, said a few words under her breath and proceeded on... SHE HAD NO IDEA her SON (me) just flipped this guy off...!! Hahahaah Well, little did my young ass know, but DUDE turned his car around and gave chase! Pulled over in a parking lot (it was the 4th of July and we were going to get some fireworks) and this guy, to me being 12 years old, "crazed wacky ole bastard" was gonna kill me! He runs up to our car before we could even get out and starts to cussing my mom! Letting her know that "Your kid there just flipped me off and I have half a notion to kick his ass!!" He's screaming this by the way... Well, my mom apologized for me yadda yadda yadda... Well guess what.... Long story short, about 5 year later, I get a job at the local School District Bus repair garage for a new summer job... WHOS THERE???? YOU guessed it!!!! The GUY who I flipped off five years ago is working there, and HE IS MY NEW BOSS!!!! TALK about irony!!! HAHAHAAHAH!!!! He remembered me, and said "So how is your mom doing??!!" HAHAAhah We actually both laughed at that when I go that job. To this day, he is still a good friend, and had taught me a LOT about mechanics back in the day! Just wanted to share that because it "kind of" relates... but in a different sense... Lain
Very true. But then again there was that one time... Lets just say that you can win 100 fights, but it's not until you lose one that you learn the big lesson. Everyone should have their ass kicked once. It humbles you. And by you I mean me. Most big dudes are all talk. But some can throw down, and when they come after you it sucks. alot.
i've been in the habit of carrying a gerber knife clipped in my pocket for years - not for trouble but for opening boxes, the mail, cutting shit - innocent things. My grandad always had one too. I'm using it all the time. BUT everyone keeps telling me I'm going to get into trouble for it one day. It's a crazy old world when you can get into trouble for carrying a "weapon" innocently, yet if you are threatened by a nutjob the cops will tell that they can't do anything until they assault you...
You should be ashamed of your self. Pissing that poor guy off. I bet he was on his way home from church. You damn kids!! Don't carry a gun, knife or weapon unless you plan on going all the way with it. It's easier to burn rubber running away than have some guy take your weapon and use it on you. If I were you I would consider myself lucky. Keith 's easier
Wave and smile. If they think you are playing w/half a deck, who cares! And they will recall later, "oh yeah, that friendly guy in the coupe." Nothing lost. Allowing them to lower you to their level of "communicating" is not what you want.
when your stuck in traffic, cant move, and the guys pulls right up to your window threatining your life, its hard to smile and wave. haha
Well, here's another perspective. You have a conspicious car in a small town. I think when those kind of things happen it's best to smile and say, I'm sorry if I pissed you off, friend, and try to smooth it over. There's always someone crazier or badder than EVERYONE. Let the jerk think he won the confrontation. It would suck to have your nice coupe vandalized. And if things escalate too far, jail is a really unpleasent place, full of assholes. You have a really sweet coupe. You don't need to stroke your fragile ego over a dumb issue at a stoplight. You and the car are cool. It doesn't show weakness to step back from a snarling dog or a potential homicidal maniac. This isn't theory, but experience talking here. Electricty, water and most natural things take the path of least resistence. To be shook up and pissed is normal in these kinds of occurances. Sometimes we have to be the grown up. Dig?
