Mercury Gets Road Rage...Fool Spits on my 2000.
 

Okay. I flipped out today, BIG TIME. You can ask the Sandman, I'm not the easiest going driver there is out there. I can be somewhat hot tempered. Anyway.

On my way to Sandmans house today (Yep, Friday, I got a day off work..YEEE HAAA.) I was traveling behind a new Chevy Pick-up truck. He was in the to my right. I watch the dude in his mirror. He looks at me for a minute, rolls down his window, and Lets this BIG HUGE WAD OF SPIT GO. I watch as it fly through the air and lands on my hood. TABBACCO SPIT!

For a Brief moment in disbelief, I watch as he apparently snickers about it. MY BLOOD BOILED. I SNAPPED.

I put her in third gear at 65, floored it and passed the Jerk. I cut him Off, and slammed on the breaks. Tires squeled briefly.

The truck shot over in the left lane to pass me. I matched its speed.

With A fury born from the fires of hell. I grab the closest thing to me. A Bottle of Brisk Ice Tea thats pretty full. I look at the Passenger, who's eyes were wide with either terror, disbelief, shock, or smugness, Yell something unintellagabile at the top of my lungs.

My eyes were crossed I was yelling so loud. I then threw the Bottle out the window and at the passenger side door of his truck. It Hit dead on. I watched as it bounced off. The passenger looked down, then back at me.

With FUry still burning, he looks at me, I look back at him and yell....I think...

"You want some of me MO-FO (I said the whole word though). I'll kick both of your ###'s."

Needless to say, the guy in the truck floored it and sped off. I pondered chasing them, but I let off, and took some sort of twisted satisfaction in knowing I hit his truck, going 60 MPH with a bottle that hopefully put a nice scratch, or dimple on his door with.

I know, I'm going to burn in hell for such. But man, that ticked me off. Someone spitting on my car, adn thinking I wouldnt do a damn thing about it. Bet they'll think twice about doing that again.

I could understand that. Me, not quite sure what I would do.

Did the spit stick? I heard it can ruin a paint job.

Save me a seat. I would have done worse.

Take care,

That would of royaly pissed me off. And I would of probably done worse. But honestly what posses people to be such ignorant people. I would of follwed the **** head tell he got out of his car. Some people just piss me off.

What an ***. He spit on your car for no reason? I probably would have slammed ion the breaks after i got infron tof him until i was at a stand still then beat his head in with the tire iron. Isn't that why its in the car?

:D :D :D


He SPIT on your car, WTF. Why didn't he just slap you in your face or say something about yo' mama. I would have done the same thing, maybe worse.

Road Rage
 

Part of me says; "What if this fool pulled out a gun and started shooting at you?"

Still worth it?

I'm as hot-headed as the next guy when on the road when some jerk screws around with me but I now try to contain my anger as a lot of these jerks carry weapons and I don't want to get killed over being cut off.

That said, this is a tough one. Spitting tobacco juice at - and on - your car is really begging for a fight and frankly, I might have done exactly what you did. Hard to say and doesn't matter anyway, it wasn't me, it was you and I can't condemn you, Merc. You're human with emotions and a nice car. Spitting on it is, well, stupid and you have to wonder what the idiot thought would happen when he decided to do that.

Fair exchange. Tobacco juice on yours, a nice dent or scratch on his. Stupid, of course, but when some fool decides to do what he did, he's got to expect consequences, which is what he got.

Glad it ended without real violence, cops and jail.

Mr 5.0.

While I was telling my friends of the experience, one of them said a similar thing.

"What if he had a gun?"

I didnt even think about it at the time. That could of been a big oversight on my part that could of cost me.

I have done stuff like that, but then after the fact, u think, damn, what if he had a gun, or made me wreck my car and drive off. It seems to be always an after thought.

I would've ran them off on the side of the freeway, pulled over behind them then pull him out the truck by his shirt, beat his face in and then ask questions later. I hate when people spit or throw lit cigarettes out of their cars. Yay, my first post. Not a virgin anymore. LOL!!!!! But I'm not that violent though but I would've been royally pissed myself.

Stuff like that is why I carry a weapon. And yet, if you really break it down, there is no good reason to do anything about an incident like that. If you had run em off the road, you'd be in jail. If you'd shot em, you'd be in jail, or they would've shot back, and you couldve been killed. If you had followed them and pulled em over, you would've gotten hurt at the least. 2 on 1 are not good odds. Basically, I guess deep down, I know I'll never use it, but it's peace of mind to know it's there just in case. Stay safe out there.

I hear ya though. I know what you mean. But in the spur of the moment you most likely gonna react with whatever feeling comes across your mind.:) :)

It's a shame our legal system has been wussified. Used to be a time when if someone did something like that -- and it was rare -- beating their face into hamburger would get you a scolding from the police. ;)


Rudeness is one thing. Accidentially bumping into someone, or coughing in a movie theater...these are all harmless things. Spitting your chaw out on someone's hood? You're just asking to get beat. That's why I carry a collapsible baton. :D

i dont blame you merc let's see -tobbaco juice -chebbie truck=REDNECK,i would have done the same as you but i am hotheaded anyway,i have done the same thing ,in hawaii 5 cars were chasing me in my 69 mercury cougar ,one of the idiots tried to jump from his car -he was the passenger- onto my car he hit my car with a beer bottle ,so i kinda threw a 1 inch wrench at him ,hehe he almost fell out of the car ,to bad the driver pulled hin back in ,we were going over 100 mph ,too bad he didnt fall out,so save me a seat too!,l8ter:D

That sucks that there always has to be a "What if?" thing after stuff like this. But there is. It would have been an absolutely horrible thing if this moron would have had a gun. But I could NEVER let anyone get away with something like that guy pulled. Too bad you weren't driving a really crappy car that you didn't care about and you could have gave him a little love tap in the rear end.:rolleyes: :mad:

Dude that sucks. I can't really say what I would've done, cause I don't think I really know. I just hope I don't have to face something like that cause I don't know what I'd do (and not knowing what I'd do kinda scares me). To tell you the truth though merc, I get satisfaction out of the fact you got revenge....(even though I don't think that's necessarily the "proper" thing you did) , but oh well, the guy didn't just get away with it-- good.

Where I am from(dallas TX) you can't take any chances. The gangs are so rampant down there that you cannot even be polite to let someone know they are driving wioth their lights off..you could be killed for that. If someone does something toyou like that down in Dallas..you'd better let it go and leave as fast as youcan. NO KIDDING

you have such control...I would have probably tried to run him off the road. But the first thing i thought of was what if he has a gun! :eek:

Good job Mercury!
 

Hey Mercury!

That was plain ignorant man. Only thing you shoulda done different is reached for a BRICK instead of the juice bottle :mad:

A guy spit on my car once before I owned it, called us mama's boys, we barracaded him in and dragged him out and spit on HIM! :mad: :mad:
Good for you, and yes, too bad you didn't have a brick!

No way, you did what needed to be done. Ok "What if the guy had a gun?" Chances are probaly 1% that he would've of pulled it out, and then at the instance you would have slammed on your brakes and been done with it. Even if they would have shot at you you have a good chance of not being hit. Just putting it into a different perspective. But you really have to watch yourself, some people are nuts. Be glad you did what you did, if you wouldn't have done anything, it would have eaten at you more and more everyday, that you didn't do anything. What's wrong with people today? Spitting on a person's car for no reason?:rolleyes: Sorry... I've had crap like that happen too. With objects being thrown at my car. :mad: Sorry *** *******. Whether they are jealous or just plain pices of crap, these things happen. At least it was only spit.
