Sucks even worse when somebody throws it on YouTube and has two million people put you on blast. You're not the first person to think that believe me, but it's real. If you look into it the guy filming filed a police report immedietly afterwards, it was on at least a couple news channels according to what you can see on YouTube. Who the fuck pulls a gun on somebody over a traffic dispute? In broad daylight half a block from a police station, no less.
I love getting shitfaced in perfect weather with lots of meat to cook. Beverybosy deserves at least ten days out of summer ti do this
I mean the dude comes off like a douche but as far as road rage, getting out/off your vehicle to confront someone is pretty fucked to me. Shows a lot of intent to escalate. Depending on the state and what law might apply, stand your ground or if castle doctrine is extended to vehicles like it is in some states, had the tommy tough nuts with a helmet started swinging he'd have ate a lead salad and been in the wrong. Stay in your car or on your bike. If you are going to get that mad on a bike maybe you should rethink riding a donor cycle in the first place.
Both parties involved are dickless twats. I'll never understand why driving a car sends people into such an insane, macho rage. I once watched two cars in a traffic jam refuse to back down in a zipper merge and drove into each other going maybe 10 mph. Of course both were guys who completely lost their shit on each other, but that was so avoidable there was no excuse in th first place. Road rage is like drunk driving: it's not only retarded to begin with, it has no excuse, and you're endangering every innocent person around you. Fuck those people. If somebody cuts you off, use your horn or just eat it and SHUT THE FUCK UP. This isn't a movie, vengeance will NOT be yours. The couple or so times somebody freaked on me in their car I took a cue from Ceuise in Top Gun by cranking the stereo and yelling "WHAT? I can'T HEAR YOU!" Ignoring them is the best weapon.
There's actually been psychological studies done on road rage and what they've found is that folks in their cars perceive everything around them as a much larger "Personal space" then they would normally. I prefer the reasoning "People are assholes." When I had my 300ZX here in Vegas my father rode with me once. That's all it took.It scared the absolute shit out of him. Larger cars and trucks were constantly "Bullying" my little car by cutting it off, refusing to merge, and pretty much treat the road as a demolition derby. At the same time I had my Z, I also had a lifted GMC pick up. All the shit I had to put up with in my Z daily, rarely happened when I was in my truck.
What kind of person drags their kids to watch assholes single-handedly eat 62 hotdogs and cheer them on like they're Mandela? "You see what they're doing up there, honey? Fuck the poor and hungry. That's a REAL hero right there." It is actually necessary, NEEDED for somebody to die right in front of everybody sooner or later. I'm talking a choking, blue-faced suffocation or massive heart attack would be the tits. Then the real shit parade will begin as every news station that happily reports on this idiocy will 180 and talk about all the "horrors" of competitive eating as if they knew it all along. I can't think of a better way to drive yourself into an early grave, these contests could write Hardee's a clinic on how to kill people with food.
The same people that are responsible for the popularity of TV shows that feature people eating food. "Damn. I couldn't possibly eat another bite. Time to relax and watch other people eat."
I've found most people are out having fun on such nights... not at home on the Internet. Just out of curiosity, are you on any kind of no-drink, curfew type parole? You allowed to be out drinking and blowing shit up tonight? Good to have you back, by the way... place wasn't the same without you.
People who pour into restaurants on holidays are the worst. Iif you are going to sit at somebody's table for 3 hours, spend $126.xx, and allow your children to litter tiny pieces of crackers all over the carpet, please, for the love of god, tip your server more than $15. It took me15 minutes to clean up the crackers alone. I need some new career options in my life.
Wow, Nett, I figured you were gonna ban me outright as soon as I came back online... Anyway, yes, I am on an ankle monitor. I can only leave the house for 21 hours a week, 7 hours a day, MWF. Normally, I'd be blowing shit up with Li'l Bandit (who isn't so little anymore; 5'9" and still far from fully grown), but I'm stuck at home listening to old school metal and working out. I'm drinking red wine at the moment. I get tested for drugs and alcohol every two weeks, but the alcohol test only trips a "positive" if you're under the influence when they test. So what are you doing on the internet right now, Nett?
Why the fuck would I ban you outright? Sure, you can be a bit over-the-top every now and then, but at worst you're harmless and annoying... nothing ban-worthy. Hell, you're an entertaining and easy target to make fun of now seeing as you just came out of the joint and all... with your behind-men still intact (or so you claim). So some of us may poke you every now and then (not in that cellmate way you're used to, of course), but it's only because we love you and missed you. Hell, we had a few people tracking your release date and wondering when you were going to show back up around here. Glad you did. And the timing couldn't have been better; gay marriage federally legalized, the death of the Confederate Flag, Dukes of Hazzard being pulled... pure DixieBandit fodder. As for me, I spent the day making a new desk for my office, and am now working on some "proof of concept" software for something I'm thinking about implementing at work in a couple of weeks. And BBQ-ing and drinking. And more drinking. Made some sangria a few days ago, and it's just coming into its own. Nothing fancy... got a new gig at a startup and it's a shit-ton of long hours.
