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

[Mr 5 0]

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.
