I'm a jerk...so in all honestly i would have probably been amused by this scenario.

That reminds me of my situation this past week on the San Diego Fwy. I was following a black pickup in the left lane in a respectable distance (about a full car length) and all in a sudden he hit the brakes, signaling me not to follow too close. OK, so I figured the guy just freaked out. So I passed him from the middle lane. As I passed him he gave me the one finger salute, and when I got in front of him. He started to punch his fists to signal that he was going to kick my a$$. That's when I decided to play with him - I pulled out my cell phone and made it looked like it was a pistol. As he passed me I slammed on the brakes and got next to him, put the passenger's side window down. As soon as he saw I was pointing something at him, he just about $hited. I never saw anybody pulled off the highway so quick.
It was a dangerous move on my part, but I just had to do it. Hope the a$$hole learned never flip people off unless he can back it up.

Oh and Potty_Pants, she was vacuuming out her car where I was for a while before he showed up. Nothing could of happened outside of the place.
Oh and on a good note, yesterday I caught up to a 05 coupe (that sand color, dono the 05 color names) with a younger guy in it. He noticed me right away and gave me a thumbs up after I have him one. When we stopped at a light he put down the window and said "wow, those brakes are cool, where did you get those" What I wanted to tell him is he got shafted by getting an 05 model
but simply said they only put them on 03s and 04s 6MT's. I think he got a little jealoud

Flipping out on people is really stupid. I used to do it a lot. But it all escaladed one tiem when I got out of the car and pulled out a conceiled weapon on the person(s) in the middle of rush hour traffic. Police came to my house. Wrote up a report and what not. Well, that was about a year ago. No charges were filed. I've learned to keep my cool a lot these days. I just tell myself it's not worth losing my job, life, and everything over. And move on.
Which brings me to what happened to me this weekend. I'd have to say that I had to think about all the negative things that could result from my reaction which would be me killing the guy and his wife and going to jail for a very long time or nothing. I picked nothing. Here's what happened:
I was at the supermarket Saturday morning buying some steaks. I was in the condiments aisle and an old couple approached slowly. When I say old I mean maybe late 50's early to mid 60's? I dont know maybe they could be older. Anyways I was standing in front of some stuff...I dont know what they were and I called my gf to ask her if she had steak sauce. The lady was up to me and says "can you like get out of the way????" So I'm thinking wtf is going on? So the guy following behind her was like..you have a problem with that? At the same time my gf is talking in one ear on the phone telling me something and this guy twice or 3 times my age is asking me if I have a problem. Does he know who he's talking to? Anyways so I'm basically speechless I am not a morning person and this is about 9:30 am. So I'm just stunned. I can't believe this guy is approaching me like this for no reason. So he walks away and I think he mumbled something like "****ing *****" but then again, I just read his lips I couldn't hear him because he wasn't saying it loud enough. I tell my gf that I will talk to her later. I drop my stuff. Go out to the parking lot and grab my "tool". As I'm walking up to the entrance again I remember my incident just a year ago and quickly begin to contemplate what I should do. In fairfax you aren't going to get away with shooting someone. Maybe in SE DC, but in fairfax, broad daylight you will get caught. So I go back to my car. Calm down and leave. The hardest thing I've ever had to do in a long time. I've fought people twice my size in hs a few times because they were being racist. That's one thing I can't stand. But this time I feel ashamed for backing down. I should've gave it to him. But when weighing the negative and possitive it wasn't worth it.

I am guilty of flipping out as well. It's really NOT a good thing, but I think alot of it has to do with living in the VA/DC area. People here cant drive worth a damn and Im sure mbq62 can vouch for me as can all the other member's here in VA. The worst case of 'road rage' I had was when I was trying to get into the left turn lane. I needed about an extra foot of space to be able to get into the left lane, however the b1tch in front of me who was going straight who had OVER 6 feet of space in front of her, would NOT inch up to allow me and other cars behind her, access into the left lane. So i waited patiently, then finally decided to honk as the left turn light was turning green. She didnt respond, so I decided to hold the horn for about 1 minute to which she didnt respond which just set me off. I proceeded to get out of my car and cuss her out F you, you stupid B and every other letter of the alphabet. It was funny b/c she didnt even look in my direction!! I felt stupid/embarrassed afterwards but people were staring at me and I felt like pulling a Tony Montana 'what jou lookin at, jou gotta prolem??'

Wow, I have never gotten into a physical fight in my life, except to break one up. Youd be amazed at what keeping your cool and being able to talk things out can do. There are generally two ways I handle things. 1. If someone is bigger than me, I just talk to them till they calm down. 2. If they are smaller than me, I just laugh/ignore them and pretty much just tell them to go away.
oh, and... I ussually get upset if someone is within 2 car lengths of me. I'll just take my foot off the gas and slow up gradually. They get the idea eventually.
