I'd like to smack both. Discuss.

ETA- Context... now that I have time.

I was driving to work this morning, on the interstate in FL (since the state seems to matter to someone that replied), and I was moving at a pretty good speed passing most everyone in light traffic. I was in the left lane when a  Honda Civic came up behind me pretty quickly. As soon as I had the opportunity, I moved over into the center lane to give the Civic room to pass. He did not. Instead, he just hung out in the left lane, but still behind me. The center lane had a slower moving car up ahead so I moved back over into the left lane so I could go around the slow car in the center lane. Once I was in the left lane, a car that was further ahead of the slower car in front of me moved over into the left lane, trapping me. At this point the Civic is on my bumper. I braked because of the car in front of me when "Mr. Tough Guy" not just flashed, but flipped on his bright lights! I did the courtesy kind of move over so he can see the tail lights in front of me and know there was no where for me to go, but he only got closer and left his brights on. I tapped my brakes a few times just to let him know to back off. Nothing worked. When I had the opportunity to go around the car in the left lane, I did and got back into the left lane since my exit off the interstate was within a 1/2 mile or so and it was a left hand exit. "Mr. Tough Guy" stayed on my bumper with his bright lights on. At this point, I rolled down my back window (I have a 4Runner with a power rear hatch window) and gave him the finger. As soon as I was able to move left into the exit lane, I did and "Mr. Tough Guy" got over to the right and took off.

At no point on my drive did I cut anyone off, ride anyone's bumper or do anything else to piss someone off to justify such behavior. I know I have an SUV with dark tinted windows and it was possible that "Mr. Tough Guy" didn't see the car in front of me in the left lane when I hit the brakes to slow down. I can see where he may have thought I was just trying to be a dick, so I did move over to the right side of the lane so he could see the car in front of me. Which clearly didn't appease him.

Additionally, for those that question my willingness to put my hands on someone. The last time I did that was yesterday, at work. And before that, last week at work. I'm definitely far from the baddest dude ever, but I'm not a chickenshit either. I added in the question of internet vs. interstate to make this a discussion thread, but forgot in early morning haste that this was GD  and I would be labeled both an interstate and internet tough guy for posting such a thread. My bad.

OK tough guy.

 

What is an interstate tough guy? Put up your state or shut up.

Interstate by far because they can get you killed. Interweb tough guys talk shit until you turn off the computer.

op is drunk

What about belligerent mid day drunks trying to be tough to show off for women?  At least you know the internet tough guy isn't going to do any damage.

This.

As long as the internet tough guy isn's doxing people, or hacking into their personal information, he is just another neck beard.

The interstate tough guy drives a Chevrolet and sits on top of a ton of steel and ton of plastic. He hates freedom and loves running school busses into the ditch. Fear all 130 pounds of this guy. He means busniess.

OP must be a left lane camper

I love those Dodge Cummins bro dozers.

When I see those trucks around here, it means one of three things:
1. The driver works construction, or is a farmer.
2. The driver is a midget teen with a flat bill hat, a rich dad, and a bad attitude.
3. The driver is a middle aged pussy wrecker with a 5 speed, and a nice shirt.

I truly respect #1. #3 is cool. #2 is.... sad.

Your avatar seems appropriate for this discussion.

To internet and interstate tough guy:



Are you aware that there are people in this world that have a severe
medical condition which causes them to be that way? My mother for
instance is one of those people. She is a truck driver that has bad
knees and a bad back from driving the truck but you probably do not care
about that case either. Oh well I am not one of those people I am 6'4"
245lbs and I exercise every day. I would love to see you say something
like to my mother in front of me. Probably never happen though you are
probably just an internet tough guy. I doubt very seriously you would
say that to someones face. Just my thought.What do you think. Oh I am
sorry you probably do not have a brain. I on the other hand will be
happy to buy you a plane ticket to come here and see if you have the
nerve to say that to someone I know.

I dont let stupid shit like that bother me.

Exactly what I was going to say.

WINNER, close thread

Get the fuck outa my lane camper!!!

Reminds me of that video where the guy was talking to the cops "Yeah, I'm talking to you tough guy".

How big a boy are you?

The internet tough guy makes me roll my eyes and maybe snicker a bit. Unpredictability from behind a keyboard can be pretty easily ignored.

 

The interstate tough guy scares the shit out of me, unpredictability at highway speed is not a good thing.

Ha. Good one.

A lot of people are very brave behind keyboard but are very meek in person. Some body that gets brave when behind a steering wheel are scary....

reminds me of this guy:

Quit camping in the passing lane, you're not a cop so quit trying to entorce the speed limit upon others or go sign up at your local academy.

This thread is going about like I expected when I clicked.

Had a few over the years threaten to drive to my house and kick my ass.

I pictured them frothing at the mouth and spitting all over the computer screen.

It was funny.

Can you  take a full power shot, from me bro? I mean a full power no holding back Squatdog full power shot?

So long as you use your keyboard, bring it!

What if he uses his vehicle?

If he can see me through all the dust I kick up running, he'll be damn lucky!

Ironic huh? But, technically I did not threaten anyone. Just said I would like to slap them. If I said I would like to bang Kate Upton does that mean I am threatening to rape her?

I-4 my friend. I-4

My dad taught me better.

Theres a lot of internet tough guys in gd.

My thoughts too. Fortunately I have pretty dark tinted windows and an autodimming mirror, but bright lights up your ass at highway speed is no bueno.

Misery loves company................I'm glad to see I'm not the only one dealing with that but I get that situation about once a month if not once a week.

I call BS, no mention of a MoH or even a silver star........fricking poseurs
