Exactly, and he wonders why we're calling him an asshole.

I don't wonder, I laugh at it. Damn straight did I not play this incident out right, but I am no asshole. Thanks though.

Yeah, assholes do suck. Too bad it sounds like you are one.

Sounds like two assholes to me.

Your an idiot and so is he.

Whatever. Was it stupid of me to flip him off? Obviously, but somehow I am an asshole for it? :roll:

Be the bigger man and let it go, or just be an asshole - your already good at it.

Wasn't very short, but you've already made up your mind. Good luck with that.


And you made up your mind about the guy in the truck. So what is your point?

No, the redneck in the truck made up my mind about him for me.

If the guy was tailgating you, you should have just been the bigger man and gotten out of his way to let him go around you. Instead you escalate the issue by stopping short and flipping him off. What about that doesn't make you an asshole?

As did you for me.

No doubt it was the wrong move for me to stop short. Tailgators deserve to be flipped off, just that simple.

And you deserve to be called an asshole for what you did. What goes around comes around.

Who here is pretending to be a badass? You probably should re-read my posts if you have the capacity to comprehend them.

Driving home, guy in a full size dodge truck is tailgating me. Makes it worse that his lights are the perfect height to blind the fvck out of me. I proceed to stop short at a light and flip him off. Driving on a 2 lane road, we were in the right hand lane, but this lane was wide enough for 2+ cars in it. After I flip him off, he drives around me on the right-hand side and cuts me off and slams on his breaks. My front-right bumper hits his rear-left bumper. Becuase his truck is higher then mine, it rides up and hits my right light.

He takes off and I follow. I write down his license plate number and continue to follow. He switches lanes and we pull up to a red light next to each other. The conversation starts off rather calmly and I ask him what the heck he is doing just taking off. He then starts ranting that it is my fault, he will not give me his info, and that I need to go take care of my own "******".

After I realize there is no way this guy is going to pull over, I give up and give in to my anger. I tell him to go fvck himself and this ignites an admittedly childish exchange of every curse word that both of us know. This continues to the next light where he takes it to the next level by getting out of his truck and threatens to kick my ass. He never comes around the front of his truck, but this makes me realize he is much more crazy then I ever will be. I end it there, roll up my window, and go home.

Karma's a bitch ain't it.

My word vs his, not worth the hassle.

It would be kind of hard since you made the whole thing up.

Hardly, if you read my first post I explain that I did the wrong thing and that I was an idiot. Who wants sympathy for being and idiot? I was venting, which is what people do here on ATOT.

That depends... next time you do it to some trigger-happy a$$hole with a 12-gauge, post again in ATOT... oh wait...

What do you expect if you flip someone off? That they'll be nice to you? :confused:

Maybe it could be a three car accident and you could die with us?
