Road rage & anger management

[GConn]

An ignorant a$$hole blew past a stop sign, and into my path. I didn't even have time to see him coming. It was like I wasn't there. So I stop next to him at the traffic lights, put the stand down and go to his window. And this was our conversation:

- Where do you think you're at? The playground???
- You were speeding like a fool
- I was going 30km/h which is the reason I am still alive....Are you serious?

- LOOK, to cut the story short, who they're gonna believe? YOU??? or me?

At that time I was ready to hit him so hard...the ****er wouldn't see it coming. But in all my anger, I managed to pull myself together, and I realised that if I beat him up, he would sue me and have some more fun with me. Went straight to the police and reported him. A fine will be issued to him, if he doesn't pay, we'll see what happens then.

:thumbup: You did the right thing.

:rant: Well, hours later & I am still irritated, I know that :spank: him would have consequences but leaving the scene like it was my fault sure didn't feel right....

Oh yes!
Tase and calmly say I will stop at stop signs.
Then repeat untill you feel that the pain aversion connection has become a permant thought.
I.E. every time he sees a stop sign, he thinks of electricity and the desire to come to a complete stop.

Well done dude for keeping your cool,you know you did the right thing.It takes a big man to walk away. Giving the ar**hole a good :spank: would have made you feel much better but with consequences,the good guy always gets the ****ier end of the stick.

....would have made you feel much better but with consequences,the good guy always gets the ****ier end of the stick.

This is unfortunately too true. Hopefully due to the professional (non-assbeating) confrontation and/or the fine he'll learn. Hitting someone/destroying a mirror/throwing sparkplugs only furthers the bad stereotypes that we hear day in and day out.

At least they're going to issue him a fine for it - tell a cop about something like that here and they act like you're reporting a UFO...
