I middle fingere'd a guy (no ****) when he cut my mom off in a toll lane when I was in HS. He actually got out of his ****** truck and waddled over acting all tough till my mom put her hand up signaling "Im sorry for my idiotic son". The guy followed us for 10 miles before getting off at his exit.

What an asshole.

"Can I help you with something, or are you trespassing?"

The road rager ran back into his car shouting a long string of profanity about p***ies with guns thinking they're so tough.

I had a guy follow me due to what I presumed was a perceived driving insult. I was 16 or 17 at the time, and quite frightened. Thus, I intentionally ran a stop light at an intersection where I saw a policeman. As I had hoped, the policeman stopped me. I explained the situation and the officer was most understanding and even offered to provide a police escort for me to get home.

I'm surprised that worked.

I grew up in a rough area. They were pretty good about stuff like that if it was clear you were not a problem. In fact, one night, my mother got out of work late, and an officer stopped her almost immediately when he saw her leaving the parking lot.

"Ma'am, you should have been out of this neighborhood hours ago, follow me, don't stop at the stop signs or lights, I'll flash my lights and siren if need be." He drove her to the edge of that neighborhood and then waved her by.

Part of the problem for me was that as a new driver I had taken a wrong turn and wasn't quite sure of where I was. The officer made it clear that I shouldn't have been in that particular area of town. I also think the fright on my face was quite obvious.

I don't think I could get away with something like that today as a ploy to avoid a ticket, but the fear back when it happened was real, very real. And I think getting a ticket was the last thing on mind when I ran the light. I was scared for my life, seriously.

The ATL is a scary place. I do love the Real Housewives of Atlanta. Have you ever seen said show? It's funny because in all of the other RH shows it's all white women, but in the ATL version it's all black women. It's just one huge stereotype and all of them are married to athletes where the other wives are married to successful business men.

1) I'm in NYC and have a pile of coins by the window in case anyone honks their horn at a stupid hour. Unfortunately my window is a bit too high up for accuracy. I might get some rocks, but they'll do some real damage. Maybe I'll calibrate them to what time it is.

2) Some ***** did the 15 second honk thing at some other car who was turning a corner while I was walking on the sidewalk. I gave her the finger, which she saw, and then she says "**** you" at me. So I stepped over and planted a hard boot print on the side of her car as she was taking the corner turn. She stops, some guy gets out of the passenger side and comes toward me. He got about halfway and then realized I would do the same thing to him if he came closer. He stopped, said something about "animals" and got back in the car.

My total car kicking is now 2 taxis and one regular car. Both taxis had run red lights and got too close to me. At another corner a similar thing happened, and the guy next to me actually kicked the taxi as it went passed. I said, "thank you, I'm glad I didn't have to do it again" and we went on our ways.

+1. I remember a couple of years ago some military guy who had recently returned from duty was shot in the head by the BofA building. Although in his case, I think the guy with the gun walked up to his car, and not vice versa. Either way, scary stuff.
