Road Rage - how would you have reacted?

I like how you pretty much said "im a rockcrawler bitch GTFO"

 

No wasn't me. im up in Arizona at college and haven't towed anything for awhile. and i liked you post "im a rockcrawler bitch GTFO" . im pretty much the same way cuz i have a rear bumper, front bumper, and rockrails, but they could still hurt my fender flares. and im 2WD .... so i cant call myself a rock crawler

 

This is sig material.

Well, your truck has a twin!

 

This..

Not the same, but I live on the end of my street and it happens that people who took a wrong turn will turn around in my driveway instead of doing a 3 point turn. Especially annoying at night since the headlights shine right through my kitchen.

The other day someone pulled in..and just sat there. 15 seconds of that was enough for me..for all I know he's doing a drug deal or something. I go walking outside and said "can I help you?" He just stared at me like "who the hell are you?" He was rewarded with a rather large amount of 4 letter words..somewhere in there was "my driveway is not a turnaround or a parking lot, get your rear end out of here NOW!!!!!!"

 

I'm a big guy (6'7" 260lbs), but I've never been in a fight and i'm usually one to avoid confrontation. With that being said, i've had my fair share of road rage, that's why I keep a big maglight within reach.

The worst kind of road rage is when a car/truck decides to take out anger on a motorcycle. You're in a 3000lb+ metal box i'm on a 400lb engine with wheels, enough said.

 

Like you need a maglite from protection there Chewbacca

 

And how you fit in a Tacoma is beyond me. I'm 6'4 250 and I have a newer(bit roomier) Tacoma and it gets uncomfortable. Do you just sit in the back seat and drive?

 

haha

 

I was driving down to my mom and dad's house near the carolina coast. I saw a young guy in a BMW pull right out in front of the little white Honda in front of me. The Honda slammed on it's brakes and honked the horn, I had to brake quickly to a stop as well because the BMW stopped, and the kid got out and ran back to the Honda, throwing a punch through the open window. The kid tried to pull back for another punch...but it seemed that he couldn't get his arm free for some reason...he then got yanked forward so hard that he slammed into the side of the Honda...The door of the honda was opened by the driver, and what happened next made me laugh.

I watched the kid who caused the whole incident get pulled hard into the door as the door was being pushed open hard, then he was pushed back while the door closed, then pulled into the opening door again, and again, and again, and again in rapid-fire succession like a rag doll. I swear that kid was hit with that door at least a dozen times before his arm was released and he slumped to the pavement. The Honda's door then came open fully and out stepped a true gorilla of a young man in a USMC uniform. I stepped out as well and approached him as he was surveying the damage to his blood-spattered door. I told him I saw the whole thing and would be happy to be a witness for him. Should I call the police? He said "No Sir. Problem solved." He asked if I needed to call the police...I replied "About what?" I got back into my car and drove away, as did the Marine.

I think of that marine every time I think about getting pissed at another driver.

 

Little moron should have thought about what he was about to take a swing at

 

I've had people flip me off and yell at me from vehicle from time to time. Whatever I say. Maybe i was in the wrong. Maybe not. 'No harm no fowl' i say. But if someone ever felt the need to exit their vehicle and approach my door in an agressive or agitated manner, the little fight or flight alarm in my head starts going nuts and they're going to become aquainted with the barrel of my sidearm.

Exiting your vehicle to yell (or worse) at someone is an inherently hostile action. If you are on the recieving end you need to either leave or respond in kind with enough force to diffuse the situation, otherwise someone is going to get hurt.

 

Classic!!
