Had a little situation today, and I wanted to get some opinions on it. If you will indulge me, I am going to tell what happened, but not how I reacted, and get some opinions from you guys first. Cool?
So, my wife and I were out for lunch. I was turning south on 31 from County Line, then going to the right to go to Yats. The guy behind was in a rush, and decided that I wasn't moving over fast enough, and tried to pass me, ON THE RIGHT, as I was trying to get over to turn right.
He almost hit me from behind, but I gassed it, and went past my turn, and had to come back. By the time I made it through the parking lot to find a handicapped spot for my wife, the other motorist was backing out of his space, and almost hit me again. I honked, went past him and pulled into the handicapped space.
He roars up, locks up his brakes, pulls up right behind me, blocking my car, rolls down his window and is screaming at me. I get out and ask him what his problem was.
He replies with a string of profanity, telling me that I need to watch where I am going. I raise my voice back and tell him that HE almost hit ME so HE needed to watch where HE was going since he was BEHIND me.
His response was another string of profanity, calling me a "fat mother f#%@er" and that he was going to "f#%$ing kick your fat a$$". "Why don't you eat another cheeseburger you fat f$%# before I bash your f^%$ing face in" etc.
So, I am armed, of course, and my wife who is temporarily handicapped is in the car, he has threatened me several times, and my car is boxed in so I can't leave.
How would YOU have responded? Thanks in advance...
