Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Road Rage incident while out for lunch

He was probably in a hurry to pick up his box of Omaha Steaks.........

Looks like the OP precipitated the whole thing, I wouldn't be too proud of that episode.

I gotta get me one of these.

You lucky bastards.
I tried to get a McRib last weekend,
at the counter, "I would like a McRib".

"Sorry, we don't have them anymore"


"Okay", and walked away.

You're lucky. You didn't get shot, OP. Moron.

Never ever stop.

You ass. That was me. I was rushing to the clinic to see a little girl who was trying to imitate mom and acvidently stuck the branding iron hair curler in her eye and fried her cornea.

I planned on whipping around your poking along ass until you saw me coming faster than you approved and stomped on the gas to .....

Fools abound! You are damn lucky you didn't get what you deserved mister.

And YOU turn another thread south again.

This place is too racist.

That's a whole 'nother type of stupid. We're talking about simple "get yourself dead, stupid." or "assisted suicide stupid, dead", and you're talking about "don't care about killing other folks, dead. " both are ungodly stupid, but of the two, getting others killed for your stupidity is worse.

Were it not for the bad judgment described by the OP, there would be total absence of judgment in this incident.

I wouldn’t want to be in the OP’s shoes had the situation escalated to the point that he used lethal force. The OP describes a one way ticket to the big house for a long stay.

No need to walk on water, but ‘clean hands’ is an essentail element of an affirmative self defense claim.

One thing I would REALLY hate to be is a CHL holder convicted after such an avoidable scenario, imagine what the press would do with that.

Most of the time, I follow the philosophy of LEAD, FOLLOW,. OR GET THE EFF OUT OF THE WAY.

You saw the guy coming, and you rolled throttle on him? Sorry, but that's just asking for it, just stupid. If you're going to jack someone around, you need to be WAY sneakier.

Every once in a while, I will get a Weaving Willie on a multi-lane road. If they are signalling and leaving good gaps, I'm more than happy to let them do their thing, and in fact, will try to get in their wake as they break a path through the police radar.

But --

If Weaving Willie is just climbing @$$, there's a good way to have just a little fun. Line up with the guy in the next lane for a discreet 15 seconds or so, match their pace, then pull ahead and clear, signalling like a good person. One time I did that, knowing the car in the next lane was a plainclothes cop car. Hung there a few seconds, then started to clear, Weaving Willie did the shimmy, jerked both ways without signalling, and the gumballs came on. What fun.

I can see a Darwin Award in someone's future

Are these McRib sanerches really as good as everyone says?

Question for the legal experts. If you imply you have lethal force and reach for it as if you intended to use it, have you not already committed "Menacing"?

I carry and generally try to keep myself out of those situations. There’s just too many dumb asses and not enough of me to educate them so I quit trying. 😁. I was a bit less forgiving in my younger years but since I survived them I intend to see this life through to a happy ending, hopefully a long time from now.

I know how incredibly frustrating and maddening some drivers are but I don’t like getting angry so as I get older I get more docile, as I get more docile I find I’m happier, when I’m happier I tend to not let dipshitz ruin my happiness. That doesn’t mean that I’m anyone’s “doormat”, quite the opposite actually, I just don’t allow anyone to control my attitude with their stupidity. I can handle myself just fine and don’t need some disabled dumb ass to prove it.

I’m glad everything worked out and nobody got hurt but I wonder why if the guy was in such a hurry he had time to pull into a parking lot for an exercise in stupidity? 😁

Apparently worth dying for 😄

Raeford was just out having a nice day and wanted to spend the evening nursing a broken jaw.
