Angry Scared the hell out of me

OK, so I'm pulling out of the McDonald's drive through and waiting to make a left turn onto the street. The light turns green and I go. There were these people in a nasty Honda from like 1901 in the right turn ONLY lane next to me who cut the people behind me off just to get right behind me, all while swerving out of their lane and into mine. I'm just going, um, okay, stupid drivers and I keep humming along. Until they pull up next to me and start beeping their horn, which sounds disgusting and I roll down my window and this black girl shouts at me "WHAT YOU GOT A PROBLEM" keep in mind this is all while there car is swerving all over the road and we're going at 50+ mph at 10:00 at night. I roll the window back up and try to get some distance between me and them, and somehow the prehistoric accord catches up and keeps honking. I turn into a parking lot and come out and I'm right behind them and then they kept not letting me pass them until they finally made a left turn off the road. I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW THEM and they scared the crap out of me, like I think they were drunk. Anyway. Just thought I'd share that story.

I had that before, I just ignore them and hope they go away.

When they dont, and they pull in front of me and try to brake check me or intimidate me to pass them, I show them my 80 watt bright yellow high beams

They also find out at that moment, that they cannot out run or out maneuver me, I ended up chasing the bully 10 miles down the park way lol

When she asked if you had a problem, you should have said "Yea, the trigger on my RPGL seems to be sticking, Oh, wait a minute, seems to be OK now..... KABOOOOM**** Bye...

You mention "I didn't even know them". Would you expect someone you know to be so rude ?
Best to just ignore moron's like that, crank up the music and be on your way. Glad they did not have a Glock pointing your way out their window.

Wow, when you pulled into the parking lot and back out to get behind them, you had joined the party and you were fair game from that moment on. I think that may have been a mistake. Ignore, ignore, ignore.

haha! it actually reminded me of this scene in the movie Are We There Yet when this guy Nick is rolling out of the Lincoln dealership in his new Navigator on 20s and this guy on the street is like, "Nick Persons! How's it going" and he just goes "How's it look?" haha

In my younger days, I was more likely to be confrontational than I am now. I'd still like to shoot out the tires on people like that....

I used a Smith and Wesson 1066 it is just a little 10MM that blows fire 3 feet in front of the weapon when used. Looks great at night but it dose go BOOM when used. Hope I never have to use it but I have a wife and and child with autism. will not good out without the fight of a life time for a bunch of tugs.

In the states, most places that would get you shot if you said it to a colored, guy or gal. If they don't have a piece, that means they misplaced it somewhere, or pitched it afterwards.
