June 22, 2024: Missed Connections

I had the green and was taking a right at a corner which had a gas station, and on the other side of that corner from the gas station, someone decided to peel across the street to take a right on the other side just as I was turning. I thankfully saw them about to do the stupid thing before they did it, so I was able to slow down and gave them a bit of horn for being a jagoff. Instead of being meek and apologizing for me slowing down and not t-boning and killing them, the young lady thought obscenities directly at me was the way to go. Buncha savages in this town.

    1. I keep a 1/2" drive Craftsman breaker bar with a 22mm socket handy on the left side of the driver's seat. It's there for changing tires, but also for whatever. I'm not getting road raged without an answer.

      1. I've definitely learned over the years to not engage as much as possible so I've been fortunate to avoid any scary situations. The dash cam is fun, though, for catching bizarre driving behavior and sometimes deer impacts.

        1. (on our way out of Edinburgh our taxi driver encountered a situation that is too complicated to accurately describe here but my response was, "in New Orleans that kind of driving might get you shot". Him (in John Wayne accent), "maybe that's because y'all have too many guns, partner". End of conversation)(our driver did the right thing, the other assclown not so much)

          1. I always carry two guns with me everywhere I go. They're very convenient because they are attached to my shoulders.

      2. I have a Spetsnaz e-tool, not in the driver’s compartment, but in the vehicle. I’m not looking for a fight, but I’m not going meekly just because I chose the same rural gas station for a late night fuel stop as a meth head.

    2. I love to shout “RAMMING SPEED!” in these situations (before commencing evasive actions). Invariably, my right seater does not appreciate the humor.

        1. Nah, that’s either “Punch it!” or “Hold on to your butts…” depending on whether one is driving or not.

          Which is different than already being in traffic, when it’s “(Gonna) Put the hammer down.”

          1. Or jealous. Then again, although Silva wasn't a strikeout pitcher, era adjusting his games should get him to double digit strikeouts several times.
