Me and my 4 yr old boy are going to get a biscuit in Helena. He is sitting behind my seat. We are driving down the road and I get in the turn lane to turn with my blinker on. There is a woman sitting at a stop sign waiting to turn left as I near her she steps on the gas then slams on her breaks when she sees I am not stopping. She then shoots me the bird. So I stop beside her window and roll my window down. She looks away and will not acknowledge me so I lay on the horn. She finally rolls her window down and I say whathat did you flick me off for. She says I was supposed to let her out. I reply mam you had a stop sign I did not nothing says I have to let you out. I hope you have a nice day and I pull off. I would never shoot someone the bird and dang sure not for something so minor in front of a child.

She flicked you off because you were not thinking about her feelings. Shame on you!

You're just inconsiderate Ben! You know its all about me,me ,me to many people now ! Its a sign of the times.

She needs a time out in a safe place where you can't hurt her.

A guy threw his hands up at me one day this week cause I didn't move over to let him in when he clearly had the yield sign in his lane. Funny part was he wasn't expecting the next red light to stop is side by side. I rolled my passenger window down trying to tell him he had to yield not me. But the puss wouldn't look at me. He stared straight ahead the whole time.

I have found that people are the most rude on the road and at aquariums.

I think it's funny that folks have enough this balls to lay on the horn and flick you off but then when you confront them they won't roll down their window and do everything in their power to get away. If you don't want a confrontation why go out of your way to piss someone off.

When I was in college I was in a long line for the left hand turn lane that was taking 3-4 light cycles to get through. Had a guy cut me off so I laid on the horn, and he proceeded to stop in the middle of the intersection when we finally got a green light and waited there until the light turned red so I couldn't go then sped off. I ended up being able to chase him down and he kept punching his hand like he wanted to fight and was signaling me to pull over. So I followed him into a parking lot and as soon as I stepped outta the car he squealed his tires trying to get out of there.

I just don't understand what folks think is going to happen when they flick you off? Like it's going to hurt my feelings a ruin my day?

My favorite was getting flicked off because I was driving in a school zone....going the school zone speed limit. They laid on the horn and flicked me and floored it. I got down the road and saw them pulled over getting a ticket.

I was actually gonna let her go but a car coming from the other way prevented it from being possible. I just started laughing when she would not look at me with me two feet from her sitting on the horn. Oh well hopefully her day gets better. I don't know how some people stay mad all the dang time. Wake up mad, eat lunch mad, go to bed mad etc smh

She was probly a biggun too wasn't she?

25 ish and bout 100 lbs with glasses could have been a hippy

Bernie supporter.

Sounds about right. Goes back to all the entitlement crap. I know plenty of people my age (25) that think they are empowered and they deserve what they want, and will act like that. She probably went and bragged about it to all her friends how she showed a stupid man who was boss.

Driving an 18 wheeler there is little that I haven't seen. I am slowly learning to just smile at the people and wave. If you get he chance you should thank them for telling you that you're number 1.

Wait till they start to cut in front of you and basically dare you to hit them from behind while doing 70 mph on the interstate, haven't figured that one out yet, won't really matter if the big truck is at fault for rear ending you if you're dead.

No doubt

I believe that's considered brandishing a gun.

Menacing is the charge I do believe

I cut a black guys radio off at the gas station this morning. He had that oogie boogie shucks playing wide open. He looked at me like I was stupid finished pumping his gas and drove off

There is a rule in Helena that you must let the other guy out if he is trying to exit the Post Office or Walmart.
I guess you didn't know.

Well piss, it was a Walmart entrance so I guess I deserved the bird

So you 'threaten' someone with a gun because he gestured at you? Someone is being reckless here and it's not the guy in the mini cooper. That was not a smart thing to do, if you indeed did it.

Ben yer a nicer man than I am, she would of got an earfull....

No sir. There's recent established case law on this. Stan Pate (a big wig in Tuscaloosa) did something similar with a shotgun. After a court case he was exonerated because he wasn't pointing it at them.

Nice may as well admit you hunt over corn and at night on a public forum.

That was also Stan pate

Ben you should of went on down to Jacks and got you a weenie biscuit and avoided that turn.

Heck no bout the only thing I like from McDonald's is a bacon egg and cheese biscuit with extra bacon. It's dang good

You're right. I wouldn't there.

You didn't 'threaten' him...yet came here to post all about it. Makes sense. If you don't like somebody disagreeing with you and your internet tough guy posts, then don't post them here.

Don't take this the wrong way,but you need to seriously think about what you just posted and ask yourself if that was a logical thing to do. If you think "Hell Yeah" then you need to rip up your pistol permit and stop carrying, because you will end up in jail one day acting like that.

You should have rolled the window down while you was pointing the gun at your temple, I bet that would have messed him up. Then mouthed to him "IM CRAZY" That would be pretty funny.

Lol

I had a fella go all road rage on me on the way from Bucksville to Tuscaloosa one evening, stayed on my ass or in front slamming on his brakes the whole way. I would point my finger at him and drop my thumb like I shot him . He would go ballistic and scream and hit the steering wheel every time I'd do it. Pretty damn funny....

Were you in a left turn lane?

Yes

It amazes me how mad folks can get over driving. You guys better watch out dealing with some of these road rage nuts….Here lately, it seems like someone is being arrested every few weeks between Auburn and Montgomery on the interstate for shooting into another vehicle due to road rage. There was another one just a few days ago.

I love it when people shoot me the bird or start yelling at me through their rolled up window. I smile at them and blow them a kiss.

There used to be a red Ford Ranger on 280 that would go all road rage on people for no reason. I've seen him do it many times. He finally did it to me one day for absolutely no reason at all. I can't remember if it was a big stick, like truckers use to check tires, or an actual tire tool that he raised up at a traffic light and motioned at me as to say he would use that on me. When he did, I raised my pistol and invited him to give it a try. I didn't point it at him. Just raised it. He floored it and ran the red light. Haven't seen him since. I don't care what anyone says I could be charged with either. I'd do the same thing again tomorrow if In the same situation.

Was she coming out on your left side?

I had a guy in a truck in front of me sitting in a dedicated entry lane..just sitting...I beeped the horn. He continued to sit so I hit it pretty hard. I saw his hand go up as he put the truck in park, then bailed out coming my way. This is on 280 in LOTS of traffic. He is screaming at me, and hits my truck hood, cussing and threatening me.

I sitting there with my head leaning on the drivers glass listening to this idiot. I roll the window down and ask if he is thru running his mouth...I tell him he needs to get back in his truck before his wife/girlfriend/whatever in the truck sees me spill his brains all over the road when I shoot him in the head. His eyes get big as saucers like he never though that he might get shot threatening folks he didn't know. I never raised my gun or showed it to him as it was in the door compartment the whole time. He sprints back to his truck, peels off, and gives me the finger as he drives off. What a tool. I never even raised my voice to him.....

it was a truck but I don't recall it being red....

I don't understand idiots like that that don't consider that the guy they are threatening may be a psycho AND armed...and they can get killed threatening folks. Ya just never know who that is driving that other vehicle.

Yep. I was on main drag in Helena between public and Walmart headed away from taco bell towards mcdonalds

I was in silver f150

Stan Pate is a piece of trash who needs a good ass whipping.

All these teens out here driving do too; today I was driving through the USPS in Hoover...this 19yo chick in a daddy-bought brand new 4runner backs out without looking and almost took me out when I had the right of way. Stuff like that happens all the time. I drive a lot and people flip me the bird sometimes. It doesn't bother me unless they get real crazy.

Booooom

This stuff goes back to one thing and I have said it before:

Improper upbringing.

She coming out of that road between CVS and McDonalds?

No between mcdonalds and walmart

What you poking around at 3 toe?

Probably his wife

That's would be funny. At least I did not shoot her a bird

may of been 3 toe in drag......

Sbo, your post made me remember my dad saying the same thing! LOL! He pulled tankers back in his day, and like you, he had seen it all and then some. He shared stories that'd make you wonder if some folks really had a brain in their heads or not. Funny thing is how you said they always tell you "that you're number 1." That's exactly how my dad put it too!

Ha! No, wasn't my wife. I was just trying to figure out the stop sign you were talking about. Folks coming out of that street seem to be a little pushy at times for some reason.

Whatever...you non cooking bastage

I had some fella honk and flick me off one day so I slowed down, let him pass, and followed him all creepy like for a few miles.

Yeah Really, I get enough of that BS from my wife lol
