Be the bigger person. This crap is just irrelevant.

Taking Knuckles to the Doc the other morning in the Exploder. On a side street, the pokey truck in front of me pulls over and slows even MORE. It apppears that he is parking in front of the house. I move to the left and am about to acclerate in order to get past him, when he whips back into the lane in front of me. He is gesturing, yelling and looking in his mirrors at me. I gesture back, tell him to GFhimself.

At the stop sign, he is still loooking at me in his mirrors and saying things to me. He looks like he is about to get out and confront me!!

I just say the word, "PARK!" Knuckles stands and looks out the front windshield. Situation avoided. (he is handy to have around once in a while) If he wouldn't have been in the car, it would have been me and a gardener going at it with whatever weapons we had available. Who needs that?

Bottom Line:
I should have not gestured to him. What's it really matter to me if he yells and gestures. Who really cares. In the scope of life and your day, just throttle back, relax and keep on movin' on.

Yes, you are right. In my recent little incident, I could have engaged the cretins, or not. I chose "not". Of course, flashing my police badge at them might have had some effect, as well.
