I hate being in situations like that. I never know what to do until like 2 hours later:eek: Good for you helping out the homeless though:)

I would have given the guy the bird, shouted at him like I was insane, and then followed him until he got to wherever he was going just to make him nervous. (I'd probably also throw in some "creative" driving while following the guy.) OK, maybe I wouldn't have followed him, but I definitely would have yelled and given the guy the bird.
On a slightly unrelated note, you seem to be attracting some, uh, interesting strangers lately eakers; first the judgemental moralist and now screaming man at the stoplight.

how close beside you was the car??

cuz, one solution is to accidentally open your door into his car. that of course depends on your car, and if it's worth putting a small chip in your paint.

I'm with Zemmer, I would have followed that punk!! When he pulled into his driveway, I would have rolled down the window and said [slow methodical voice]so this is where you live....[/slow methodical voice] and then smile and wave. I deal with meanies like this day in day out. I work at an answering service where I'm the only guy. Guys call all the time and yell at the girls. When put on the phone with me however, they are completely apologetic [I usually ask for their name and number as soon as they are on the line :D]. Smile eakers, and know that wherever he is now he is not a happy person.

Why should he care? It's your money, do as you wish. Why did you cry? Do you just not like people yelling at you? IF so, take that energy and (as prodigy suggested) flip him a big ol bird and tell him what's on your mind ;)

hey, its your money and you can do what ever you want to do with it. I would of told that guy (the screaming one) to mind his own buisness. But regardless, you shouldn't worry about it too much, if you can help it. Instead, be proud of yourself for being you and forget about as***les who feel like the can tell you how to live your life. good luck
