Witnessed Road Rage - You Know You’re Getting Old When Your Response is WTH, Let’s See What Happens if I....
Waited all damn day to get home from work to relate to my fellow GLPers a curious thing that happened to me today.

At a stoplight intersection, I look over to my left to see a work van (maybe landscapers, one Hispanic dude and a redneck) and behind it was sleek tricked out cheap Japanese car. From the ‘hood car, jumps young black dude. Same time both doors on work van open and the two dudes explode out, onto the pavement (not giving a rat’s ass if there was any cross traffic, which there fortunately wasn’t).

And then the 3 dudes lit into each other like it was a WWE Smackdown show! Other folks around me in there cars are all gawking, slack jawed. Me, I am not intervening since odds are one of those boys is holding/carrying.

So, the best I could do was roll down my window, honk my horn and hollering at the top of lungs, “Wooo baby! I’m gonna’ set up and sell me some fight club tickets! Whose y’all’s agents, dudes?! Hey, you with the big ‘fro....I just bet driver next to me on this fight, so I got $$ riding on you, baby!! Work on your right hook, man, it sucks!”

Of course the other drivers around me thought I was a lunatic. But the road ragers actually got distracted, were confused by my odd behavior, suddenly aware that surely someone had already called the cops. So, they cussed each other, running back to their vehicles and proceeded to tear out hauling ass.

Came home and checked my local news to see if those boys just took it down the road and continued but nothing on news.

Best I could think of off the top of my head given the circumstances. And then in reflection, how I handled this shit might just be an indicator of getting old and just not giving a flying fuck what anyone thinks.

Sorry, no pics, no vids, folks. Just gotta’ take my word for it. Might be the highlight of my whole week.

Some wild story dude.
The stuff you said is funny. I probably give it a 9.5
You probably saved 1 of their lives by sort of breaking it up in that unusual way.

I still think it is sort of risky to say what you did.

Yeah....I would've responded different in my younger yrs but the world was a lot more mellow place way back when. These days, well us old geezers have to be creative. It was actually funny as hell and made me chuckle all through my day.

I wonder what started it. I've often fantasized about adding long spikes to the back of my vehicle for those who want to tailgate. Rudest and most careless drivers tailgate as though they want to push you off the road, regardless of having no where to go or opportunity to go any faster because of the line of traffic in front in all lanes. They pose a danger to both themselves and to everyone else on the road. I say this only half-jokingly, but if I could go as far as fashioning a grenade launcher to my rear bumper to instantly remove the threatening jerks who tailgate like this, I would seriously consider it.

You stopped them.

You used psychological warfare, distraction techniques.

This sort of shit is just ramping up. I do a lot of driving so I see this all the time. And to the poster citing I-85 in VA, yeah, that whole corridor is ridiculous trying to drive.

And to the other poster with ideas to trick out your ride, yeah, we are starting to run head long into the Mad Max scenario.

Sad world we live in now. I come from an era where nearly everyone waved at folks driving/passing by. Not flipping the finger.
