An experience with road rage! - WRXtranceformed - 03-07-2007
Warning: Long story but amusing.
So I was heading into Leesburg yesterday to meet a friend of mine for lunch at Moe's. I'm in the center lane on Rt 7 heading towards the left turn lane for the Moe's shopping center with my left blinker on. I'm running out of room and the guy in the left lane behind me is being a dick and closing off the space I had to merge over on purpose... basically not letting me over even though my signal was on forever. Well, there was just enough space for me to get over, so I merged over and stopped in the turn lane at the red light.
I see this motherfucker start to get out of his beat ass old van. I instantly lock the doors, not knowing if he's some crazy with a gun or something. He comes up to my window, at the red light, and motions for me to roll down my window. I shake my head no and he persists, so I crack it and this is what proceeds.
Me: "What the fuck are you doing dude?? You're standing in the middle of the fucking intersection!"
Him: "Why are you driving like that, you cut me off, blah blah blah"
Me: "You wouldn't fucking let me over dude and I was going to miss my turn because of it. Get the fuck back in your car."
Him: "Blah blah you need to learn how to drive blah blah"
Me: (In a voice like I'm the stepdad talking to my stepson) "GET THE FUCK BACK IN YOUR CAR." (proceed to roll my window up in his face)
So the guy punches my window. Now I'm pretty much a pacifist 90% of the time, but when someone fucks with my car something inside me snaps. We both make the same turn, he parks in the middle of the parking lot while I park next to Moe's. I see the guy get out of his car and come towards me, so instantly I ball up my fists and get ready to pummel this old man. He sees a cop car in the Moe's parking lot and wants to talk to the cop inside.
He goes inside and mentions how he'd like to punch me in the face instead of my car, and my response was in a deadly serious tone: "You fucking try it." I was two more minutes away from putting this guy in an early grave... I was hungover and all I wanted to do was chill with my friend who was arriving shortly and eat a hot burrito.
He bugs this cop who is sitting with his wife eating lunch, complaining about how I'm an aggressive driver and this and that. The cop pulls us outside, gets both of our stories. At this point I proceed to make this old man look like a complete tool in front of the cop. I mean, intellectually it was like Tyson fighting an infant. This guy works at a Giant for a living, for Christ's sake. I basically make the guy out to be crazy for yelling at someone in the middle of an intersection and punching their car.
The cop mentions something about everyone being grown adults, and I point out that grown adults don't get out of their cars, whine about being cut off when they're driving aggressively themselves, punch the other person's car, then whine to an off-duty police officer about it. The cop looks at the guy and says "He has a good point, sir." He then asks the guy what he wants to happen, and the guy says he has to deal with stuff like this every day and wants some kind of report written so that everyone can see that I'm an aggressive driver.
Then he asks me what I want and I tell him: "I want you to go back in and enjoy your lunch with your girl, and I don't really care what else happens from there. I'm sorry this tool had to bother you on your break. The one thing I do know that I want is for this guy to not fucking touch my car again."
So obviously nothing comes of it, he tells the guy to relax and he gives me this look like "did that just happen?" when we're both walking back in. I apologize again for that guy bothering him and thank him for being cool.
Moral of the story: If you hate your life, I don't really care and I'll put you in your place if you try to drag me down with you.
I did gain a huge respect for cops though, I honestly felt bad for that guy. Think about all the shit he has to put up with in his day, then to be bugged by some old crazy fuck about being cut off in traffic on his one peaceful half an hour with his wife.

lol, wow. thats really big of you lee to not kick this guy in the throat after he punches your car like that. i also hate dicks that know you want to change lanes but dont let you in. i've always wanted to try this move where i make a quick flick of the wheel so they panic and hit the brakes then i ease into the lane because of all the space they let up by panic stopping.
- HAULN-SS - 03-07-2007
hah. you should have just said "gimme a sec, let me get my .45" and reached over to your glove box when the guy got up beside your car
- ScottyB - 03-07-2007
haha well played Lee. i can't believe the audacity of some people these days. i'm in the same boat...i've never faught anyone but if someone had the balls to f with my car right in front of me i don't know if i could have contained myself.
"like mike tyson fighting an infant" hahaha best mental picture ever

was he foreign too? I can picture the broken english just flying back
- WRXtranceformed - 03-07-2007
Ha ha thanks guys. To be quite honest, the only thing that really held me back from beating his ass right there in the parking lot was the fact that he didn't do any damage to my car by punching the window. If he had kicked a door panel or keyed my door, I would have been thrown in jail yesterday.

I do that in the expy when some c-unit in a mini van won't let me over, except 1/2 the time I don't jerk back...
- Kaan - 03-07-2007
he would have got his ass beat at the intersection if he hit my car.... if i let him even get that close to my car! fuckers get out of a car on me... and i'm out of the car too!

Ha ha ha ha
In his effort to build a sleeper boosted van, Jeff inadvertently defied the laws of physics by creating a time machine that activated itself when he hit full boost. He was then propelled back into the past after he blew off an intercooler pipe.

Of all the stupid shit to say. WTF is wrong with you? Get your head out of your ass.
- Dragon - 03-07-2007
So let me try to understand something here, because someone chooses not to let you over (which they have no obligation to do so just because you have your blinker on) y'all get pissed? Sure it'd be courteous of them to slow down a little and let you over, but not everyone is a courteous driver.
Just playing devil's advocate here. Typically I'm a very courteous driver and will let people over, but if I see someone that's being a dick on the road you can be damned sure I'm not letting them over. Go ahead, make a quick move, my ass isn't flinching and it's gonna be you and your insurance that's paying for the damage to my car.

Calm down cowboy...you have to admit it would have been funnier if Lee had to stop and ask him to repeat what he was saying...
- Sijray21 - 03-07-2007
wow, i probably would've slammed my door in his crotch if he punched my car...you're a good man for keeping your cool.
i once had a road rage experience just my flicking someone off. She cut me off and then slammed on her brakes...almost causing an accident. It took a lot to realize that nimrods like that aren't worth the time of day.

That's pretty queer. If there was no space to begin with, then it's a little more understandable.
