Remember, they are the ones who look like jerks, not you. You would have looked like a jerk if you had started something.
About 1 1/2 weeks ago, I was driving with my family and a light turned yellow. It was just a bit too far off to run it comfortably, so I stopped.
I didn't have to slam on brakes or panic stop, but it was a nice "slightly firmer than normal" stop. Didn't stand us on our heads or anything.
So we're already stopped, and like 3 seconds later some assgoblin was leaning on his horn behind us....and I mean RIGHT behind us....it was obvious that he hadn't been paying attention and he did have to panic stop to keep from hitting us.
Now keep in mind, nobody was following me closely before I stopped, so I know he simply was pissed because it probably scared him.
So he's blowing the horn, flipping us off, and mouthing all sorts of nice words. The light turns green, I take off normally, and as soon as I get in front of the car to the right, I start to move over so the jerk can go by. He goes by, again, flipping us off, cussing, etc, then cuts over in front of us, very close. Then boots it and goes on ahead.
The next light, about 1 mile away, he's turning right, we're in the left lane going straight. He's in a turn lane...turns right on red, immediately turns right into the gas station and stops parallel to us and waits until we look so he can flip us off again.
At that point, I've almost snapped. I started looking for a way to get 2 lanes over and go back to have a talk with him.
Then I look at my back seat....I have my 4 year old daughter, 2 year old son, and my wife in the front next to me.
Not worth it. At the end of the day, he's still a loser driving a complete piece of ****** old-ass Ranger, and is probably on his way to see his crack dealer, and we are not.
Had I been younger, I probably would have, but it's simply not worth it for an idiot. They'll still be idiots after you beat their ass. And you might end up in jail instead.
