I was grocery shopping on my of day, walked out of the grocery store into the parking lot. Just then a jacked up black 4WD truck blasts by at 30+mph cutting thru the parking lot. I yelled at him to slow down as he passed by at six feet.
He slammed on the brakes and spun the tires backing up. Window down he asked what I said. I told him I said "slow down". He said he'd whip my butt. I put my groceries down and said "get out". He said what for. I told him he couldn't whip my butt while still in the truck, now shut yer mouth and get out. Punk about 18 and pretty big. He spun off , giving me the finger.
Two days later I see him near the store, as I look he runs the stop sign right in front of me. I pull him over and walk up to the door asking for license and registration. License is expired and no current registration. I give him those two tickets and running a stop sign...and tell him to have a nice day.
Next day a friends girlfriend come by the house, turns out kid is hers. I tell her no help from me here. Sorry.

A couple of times I have been in unmarked units when that has happened.
It is a Kodak moment when the pretty twinkly lights hit them. I've seen people almost cry and grovel when they realize what was about to happen.
What made me mad was not what they did but who they thought they were doing it to. One time a couple of guys had an entire intersection blocked with two vehicles in a not so nice neighborhood at night and yelled for us to go around the block with a few choice words. Some poor woman would have been terrorized and they didn't care.... until we stepped out in uniform.

On duty one day, I stop at local store for a second. Young guy walks up and starts running his mouth about how I couldn't catch him in a million years. And on and on and on...I just shrug it off. Partner and I head to the other end of the county, near an hour away. I drive back onto posted property and WHO is the first person I catch fishing without a permit on private property????? Ya'll guessed it...ol runsatthemouth.......
He wanted me to let him off but after that mouth running an hour and a half before it wasn't going to happen. LOL
I was coming into Tyler the other day and had a fellow brake check me, passed me then hit his brakes went about another mile and he did it again.
We came to a red light and this little 150 pound 5' 8" fellow jumps out of this little car and runs up to the front of my truck, jumping up and down mad.
I'm not sure what he was saying as my windows were up but the motorcycle cop setting in the lane next to me did and put him back in his car in a hurry.
I had 3 iron workers in the truck with me. Lightest follow in the group was around 230.
Everyone was armed.
That little dude almost dug up a snake.
The OP'so dude that ran the stop sign being angry. He obviously did not get it. The bad part he is distracted being mad he isn't paying attention. That distraction is almost as bad TXTing and it only takes a second or two to seriously injured another person or group.
I retired from a local hospital where I worked as a staff pharmacist. One morning over coffee with one of the ER doctors he grinned and told me that earlier that day when he was on the way to the hospital a man in a pickup raised high and with loud mufflers honked for him to hurry up go on when the light changed. Doc said he eased forward just as he guy showered down on his truck and passed giving him the finger. A few minutes later Doc was in the ER when they brought the guy in on a gurney. He'd been in a wreck. Doc said the look on the guy's face was like that of a deer in headlights when he realized that he'd given Doc the finger earlier.
I drive about 150 miles a day on average for work and have seen some crazy stuff out there. Unbelievable how many people go crazy on the roads for nothing. I'd return the gestures when I was younger, but not now. It's not worth it.
