road rage...my first experience tonite.. LOCK YOUR DOORS!!!

[Andrew Lundy]

Chris--

That sucks man!!!  The only way you teach people like that a lessen is by
getting their license number!!!  Calls the cops and let him spend a few
nights in jail.  He would have had at least two charges on him easy!!!  I
had some "troublemakers" pull some crap on me last week....story follows

I was out shoveling my sidewalk a few days ago (with my back to the street).
When I feel something hit my shoulder about 4 inches from my eye.  I turn
around and see this piece of crap mid 80's red Escort scooting down the road
with the passenger side window down (remember I was shoveling, so it's not
window down weather).  I look in the snow at what hit me quick (thinking it
was a snow ball) but I see what looks like a goldish wrapper.  So I'm a
little pissed someone wants to throw something at me while I'm shoveling.

Knowing that my keys where still in the car I hop in my "q" and catch up to
him.  (I don't think he was counting on my quattro)  I catch up to him write
down the plates number, take a look at how many are in the car and what they
are wearing (as best I can)!!  Run up on them again to double check the
license number (all looks good).  When I pull up along side of them to turn
the other direction...they won't even acknowledge that I'm there.....scared
white!!

I get back home thinking that will scare them enough (them knowing that I
have the plate number).  Well I decide to take a better look at what they
threw at me.....it was a AA battery!!  Now I am mad.....to shorten the story
a bit.  Call the cops and charge the little #$$ with assult. (Is this what
they meant by assult and battery????....I know, bad joke)  The cops track
the kid down and he admits to it....as of now he's been referred to
juivinile court (little high school punk).

I bet he doesn't throw a battery at someone again.....let alone pull that
crap that jerk did with you tonight.  I know if that guy pulled that crap on
my wife an I, she would bleed the guy dry and he be in the slammer for a
long time.  Although, it helps when she's a lawyer and she knows almost the
entire police force and the district attorny's :-)   The poor "battery" kid
didn't stand a chance!!

Glad you didn't get hurt......next time keep your wits and get his plates!!!
That's the only way they learn!!

tonight i was at the local mall, went there w/ a female friend for a dinner/
movie..   we were heading out from dinner, over to the movie theatres.
parking lot is filled with big piles of plowed up snow, so visibility around
corners etc, is limited.
Got to an intersection in the mall parking lot, looked both ways, then
proceeded. view to my left was blocked by a big pile of snow, so i didnt see
this guy (i am using the term "guy" to be nice at this point) in a SUV
flying
aroung the corner.. ok, no biggie, i lead foot it, get out of his way.  he
slows, (not locking brakes) and hits the horn as he passes me.   ok, so it
was a minor inconvienience, and i should have been alittle more careful, my
visibility was limited, but no harm done, shrug it off. .  Anyway so i go
onto the movie theatre, a few minutes more, and park.   well, much to my
astonishment - this "guy"  (punk ass kid describes it better)  looked to be
in his early 20's? who was driving the SUV pulls right up to me (aparently
he
did a U turn and followed me!!??!) - fast - hits the brakes - and points his
SUV with Hi-beams on dead on at my drivers door.........he jumps out...   he
runs over yelling "F U", "F", this, "F" that, get the "F" outta the car, you
mother F'er ...he then PULLS OPEN MY DRIVERS DOOR.... at this point my
female
friend is crying..   this guy then reaches in, grabs my jacket, and tries to
PULL ME OUT OF THE CAR, i was pretty shaken up, i was cornered in by his SUV
and had nowhere to go... he continues to try to get me to "fight him" and
holds the door, keeping me from shutting it.. i am almost 31.  i have no
desire to get into a fist fight with anyone. my friend scarted to scream and
cry loudly, and then this guy takes his open hand, smacks the drivers window
(it a wonder he didnt break it) and the door slams closed..i quickly lock
the
doors, didnt know what to expect..  he then belts out a few more
expletitives, then spits on my window (yea, really!) and then gets back in
his SUV and leaves..   funny thing was his girlfriend (what kind of person
is
she??) is sitting in the front SUV pass seat with her head turned away the
whole time..
didnt get a plate number.  i was pretty shaken up.
what kind of person would do that?  seriously F*cked up..  seriously.
loose cannon.. prolly beats his gf.  dunno.
lock your doors folks, there are alot of crazy people out there.

still shaking...
