Anyone have a good road rage story?

[patrickbateman]

Got out of my car and spit in a guy's face once. He didn't do shit.

Threw a full drink at another car and the driver followed me for 30 minutes on the highway before giving up.

Got into a fist fight with another guy. He was tailgating me and almost caused an accident so I got out of my car at a traffic light and punched his window. Po po showed up for that one.

Wouldn't do any of that shit now. People will shoot you.

Let's just say I have a lot of problems.

Yes. I was jogging and these high school/college kids yelled at me. I threw a rock at their car then when they turned around I stood in the middle of the street daring the guy to run me over. He drove away

No, I don’t even acknowledge anybody. It’s too dangerous out there to have confrontation. You just don’t know what’s going on.

I was taking a right turn on a busy 3-lane city street. My apartment was less than 1/4 mile away on the left so I had to cross 3 lanes to turn left. I saw a spot in the left lane so I turned in directly behind the guy ahead of me.
A truck came up aggressively behind me and tailgated me. I turned on my blinkers before turning in his lane and he wouldn't have been able to get any further ahead so I don't know why he was so aggressive.
So I turned a u-turn instead of turning left to my apartment in case the guy was going to follow me. He did. I turned right and then another u-turn and he kept following me.
So I went to the police station and called them ahead of time. The dumb guy followed me into the police station parking lot.
The cops talked to him and he drove away. I never did find out what they told him.

You should have whipped his ass.

Used to rage on the road a lot but once Texas became Open Carry state, I realized it was not a good idea anymore.


But, I did see @DiggityDaggityDo sit at a green light for like 5 minutes on his cell phone, not paying attention. This gorgeous chick in the car behind him was honking and yelling. He just sat there. She got out of her car and walked up to his window and then he finally looked up. The guy is scammer. I think he did it just to meet her. She's now his GF.

Thankfully not. I never got involved in any road rage

Got a few from work over the years - nothing great myself.

The best ones have been “repo” rage and a pissed off spouse.

Spouse involved a mobile home - came home to find his old women cheating on him - proceeded to hook his pickup to the mobile home and started dragging it off its foundation - pulled away from its addition and everything. Actually managed to get it about 40 feet - I was impressed with the truck.

Best repo rage involved a repo driver and a Harley rider who bought a new bike and promptly disappeared - bike had a tracker on it and the new owner had no idea. Repo guy showed up and nicely said pay up or hand me the keys - biker told him get fuked and drove off - repo driver easily found him at his old ladies house a couple hours later - bike no where to be found. Biker laughed and said he locked it up in the little garden shed behind the house and good luck getting it before giving him the finger and slamming the door in repo man’s face. About 20 minutes later you see one pissed off biker emerge as the repo man begins to winch building and all onto the rollback - eventually they manage to drive off building and all.

The number of idiots doing dumb shit to truck drivers routinely - causing an accident and the version of events they then present also constantly
amazes me. They act as if dash cams are not a thing and like every commercial truck on the road doesn’t have one. Usually I just let them ramble on with their story - throwing in some wows and that must have been so scary along the way. Eventually when they are finished telling me about all the pain they have from their “injuries” - I just ask them to confirm the story I was told was the truth and best of their recollection - letting them affirm the statement and then I offer to send them a copy of the video along with the denial letter - including after the accident where they were climbing up the side of our rig banging on the driver door window swearing at us - and asking so did the whiplash occur before or after this. Usually gets met by “you’ll be hearing from my attorney” - the few attorneys I ever do hear from generally withdraw after I share video with them.

It worked, Tanko.

Tanko - exactly. Amazing how much open carry cuts down on stupidity behind the wheel.

Still see quite a bit of it though down in Texas for some reason. Was in Dallas for like 8 weeks for work - people are morons. Also used to see quite a bit from one client down that way who transported to a large plant in Arlington.

I think my one case of an 18 wheeler rear ending a Nissan Versa happened down there too - dipshit in Versa sat at a light - driver got mad and decided to “nudge” her to get her to move. Driver allegedly thought she had drove off - at least until he got to the Love’s station and there was a Nissan still attached to his front bumper and one very scared Mexican lady in the driver seat - he pushed her about 2.5 miles in all (in his defense - you couldn’t see her on camera with the long nose peterbilt he was driving - so possibly he didn’t know she was still there - but he admitted to meaning to ‘bump’ her and that’s all it took for the employer to fire him).

I kick myself for not getting a lawyer. The guy was driving a business truck. I don't know if I could sue him or not. Probably not.
