If you live where I live, SCal, you will have to stop and "say something" to them more than 10 times a day.

I saw it happening so started slowing down and preparing for it.

Not much I could do, but his vehicle was an older Chevy Silverado with a unique paint job, unique wheels, matching topper and funny enough advertising his Radio Control Hobby business.

I was pretty perturbed about it but chalked it up to another idiot with a driver's license.

Fast forward to yesterday, I see him and his truck pulling into the Walmart parking lot and parked a few hundred feet from me....so....

....seriously would you guys say anything to this dipzit or let it go...I did not say anything...your thoughts?

Then go up to him and take your glove off, finger by finger, and slap him in the face with it, challenging him to a duel while shouting "I demand honor, sir!"

I would pay to witness that.

For every slight we endure, there is a genuine offer of friendship and generosity.

We have to decide what we choose to focus on. I know what I'd pick.

Well, you could always let the air out of a couple of tires and then watch the action then when DB comes out!

But what if you are wrong and it's not the right guy?

Just let it go!

Ice Pick in 4 tires would be adequate payback...or

take 4 nails and place them on the rear of the tires so that when he backs out the nails go into his tires...payback is a betoch...actually I would only want to do 2 tires as if he winds up killing himself 4 nails would be suspicious

or you could take a potatoe and shove it up his exhaust pipe....he won't be able to start his truck

or you could drop a few cubes of sugar into his gas tank

U don't want to know what I would do if you really pissed me off now do U?

(Still) laugh...and then quickly look the other way.

I wouldn't confront the driver. A defensive posture is a likely response with no real communication possible.

In lieu of a horn honk after the fact, wtf?, you could leave an anonymous note reminding the driver of his ill-advised move and the potential accident it almost caused. Suggest he try better next time. The note should remind him that karma strikes those at the least expected moment. Then advise him he should remove the 16 penny nail poised next to his LR tire before he backs up.

Watch his reaction from a distance. If he drives off without removing the nail, he disregarded your suggestion and probably deserves to learn the meaning of the word, "karma".

Better than rubbing dog ***** on his door handle.

I'm pretty good at this passive-aggressive stuff.

I'd blow it off, but I'm still keeping an eye out for the guy who ran my wife off the road a couple weeks ago (it was near the house and have the description and license plate memorized.) I don't plan to be confrontational, but I will mention the $800 damage to her car and see if his conscience gets the better of him.

Walk into the Wal Mart and purchase a locking gas cap for him. if you are really a nice guy you will even install it for him.

I witnessed the same manuver once ( last second 3 lane change form fast lane to exit) right in front of me. The difference was the car exiting took out a Harley just ahead and to the right of me. I saw the carnage in my rear view mirror. The Harley guy died right there. The driver was never caught. Another witness gave chase but lost them.
The point is.... this idiotic and reckless driving could KILL you or people you love.

I say confront them whether it does any good or not.

Sorry! But I... can't... let... it...GO! SERENITY NOW!

My stories are usually saved for the Pool Hall get-togethers. But here is one of many.

Don't judge me but...
Several years ago I was driving my S-10 home from the Papermill at 2pm, looking forward to my 5 day long break(shift work). As I approached the onramp of I-26 a car started slowing down. Slowing way down! I knew what he was thinking, I was too close. I was probably several car lengths away. I am usually a courteous driver until someone's stupidity is forced on me. Being in a great mood I gave him all the room he needed, and pulled to the far lane from him. Leaving 3 lanes between us. I look over and his mouth was going a mile a minute while staring at me. Bad Idea! Before I knew it I had pulled over to the point that our mirrors were almost touching. The bucket seats in my S-10 are VERY low. I said "If you have a problem, let pull over and settle it'. He pulled over, and I skidded to a stop in the emergency lane. Looking out of my side view mirror I see his door open and a foot touch the ground. I step out of my truck into the highway(hardly any traffic). Not sure if it was my size 14 work boot or me standing 6'3 and 225 lbs, but his foot went back in and his door shut. I walked down the highway to his window and told him. "Your about to get your fat azz beat right here, You sit here until you can no longer see my truck". As I drove off smiling I looked back and watched. I think he is still sitting there today.

I don't like violence at all, But I feel that you have to stand up to for yourself, and what you believe in. I am courteous and I expect courteously in return. Plain and simple.

Remind me sometime and I'll tell you the story about me and the guy on the Drunkcycle(moped), and the guy in the truck, oh and the time I got arrested at Chucky cheese. D@mn Rat!

Really? I don't regret it as it was a joke. Lighten up, as this thread has absolutely nothing to do with either of those horrible events.

Note: Internet humor must be obvious for the masses. Sorry, you left no clue.

It's a movie about a man who is fed up with our rude, indifferent society. Obviously you've never seen it.
