I really hate this kind of crap and i'm sorry you had to deal with it. Hopefully he got really pissed and ended up crashing into a fire hydrant or something.
Funny you should mention that. Some douchebag was pissed because we didn't screech our tires off the mark or something at a light so he pulled up beside us at the next intersection and started screaming at us. I couldn't quite hear what he was saying because the windows were rolled up. I figured he finally realized because he then just spit on the window.

Then at the next light he was screaming at some senior whose car had stalled at an intersection. I felt so sorry for the little ol' lady, as the guy just yelled at her at the top of his voice. After about 30 s of this, he peeled around the corner at full speed.

I had stopped at a light and when it changed, I turned the same corner... only to see that he had rammed some other car halfway down the block past the intersection... and he was screaming at that poor soul too. Luckily the other driver was not hurt, so I just smirked at the douchebag as I drove past.

I don't know if he was just a douchbag, or if he was a douchebag on coke or something.

I've never seen people giving the finger to others on the road, it seems stupid to me. It creates unnecessary risk if you're dealing with psychos, just use the horn.

Exactly, this is why I want to get that train horn installed on my beater.

I went to school in the ghetto and in PE class we had a boxing ring, not sure how they got away with that, but if your parent signed off on it you could duke it out, and 16-18 year olds don't really understand sparring's not suppose to be a full on fight. Not sure how many fights I had in class, but it was a lot. I also was a super smart ass, it wasn't a good place for a pasty Scottish kid to talk shit. Outside of class I was of the thinking the boxing training would make a better fighter. While that was kind of true, the others seemed to get better at a faster pace. It took me a lot longer than I suspect to get to where I was able to really scrap. I went out on a 5 fight win streak lol.

Now if I had transferred to a white school where they played tennis in PE class after a year where I went. I would have had a much better record :D

Oh OK, yea, I went to HS in the '70's, we had boxing as well, I don't think it's allowed now, our gym teacher offered a nickel per drop of blood, then he invented a game called "boxing basketball" where you got one glove and the ball-handler was open game. I had the misfortune of being put in a PE class of mostly seniors and juniors, it sucked, during a floor-hockey game someone was poking me in the back with a stick so I turned around and tried to take his head off with mine, this got me expelled from PE for the rest of the year to my delight..

Meth-head sound like.

There's a YouTube video of a guy that's got a ships klaxon fitted to his truck.
That would probably do the job! :D

Actually the US constitution protects my right to self-defense, so I'd be in the clear everywhere.

No, in non-SYG states there might be a requirement that you remove yourself (or attempt to do so) from the area of a potential or occurring physical confrontation before deciding to shoot if the other person continues to pursue and attempt continue their use physical force.

but ok go on with your BAMF self...
