In my "would have been charged as a juvenile if it had gone that far" days I was driving my parent's 3/4 ton Chevy and some asshat wanted to go to the end of a "lane ends, merge right" spot and then force his way into the through lane. 30+ years later and that shit is my #1 pet peeve on the road and has been the impetus for multiple accidents I've been in (side note: their faces are always hilarious when the cop writes them the ticket ). In this particular instance as traffic was barely moving dude jumps out of his car and wants to scare a kid and being a dumb kid in rage mode I too jumped out. Except I did so with the knife store katana I had just bought a few hours earlier. Probably would have broke if I hit him with it, but he did jump back in his car and yielded right away to me and the next few people behind me.5chn3ll wrote: ↑Tue Mar 15, 2022 10:27 am When I was a kid - maybe 4 or 5 - and we still lived in PA, I remember one instance where my pop put the car in park, jumped out, ripped the wing mirror off the truck that honked at him, and started bashing his way through the windshield to get at the three steelworkers cowering inside. This was not a singular incident.
I'd like to say I'm not "proud" of that bit of history, but I wouldn't be entirely honest if I did so. I have not, however, carried another weapon into a traffic altercation though. So that's something I suppose...
