Road Rage... Rar!

Like every other Tuesday, Mikes and I were headed over to Burger Night. On the way, a motocyclist went zooming past us. So Mikes gives a little honk (ok... maybe two honks). Sure enough, we catch up with the guy at the stop sign ahead. Only the guy isn't going anywhere. Instead, he's blocking our way and yelling, "Why'd you honk?!?!"

... Are you serious? Um... you totally just passed us illegally...

which we tell him. Hey guy, you passed us! Clearly he is deaf and keeps yelling "Why'd you honk?!?!" and then decides to get off his bike and hit our window before finally moving on his way.

Awesome. I was racking my brains trying to think of different ways to sue him, but unfortunately the car is completely damage free and it's tricky to get intentional infliction of emotional distress. But I think I've read cases about your car being an extension of your person for assault & batter...I got his license plate number just in case....

Anyone else with good road rage stories?

Dude peeps are crazy!

I don't have one but this guy I worked with Moses he accidentally cut someone off trying to get over to turn at a light. They followed him and at the next light a big group of guys got out of that car & totally beat the crap out of him. Poor guy still has a deviated septum. Wild huh?

People are crazy sauce. The worst I've had is getting flipped off.

Seriously? Yeah, we've pissed some people off, er, Rob has, and then a guy got out of his car and started coming towards us and we zoomed away... ahhhh.... and one time this psycho followed us super closely for like 30 min - we even tried getting away by making crazy turns and stuff and he'd race after us or cut around a different way... we almost called the cops but we finally lost him... eek....
