Here's an odd one. Three lane road, going to 3+ left turn lane. I am turning left onto this road, and can't see the stalled car around the corner. After making the turn, I'm stuck for a minute behind this guy (he's almost in the turn lane, so he's blocking the turn and 2nd leftmost lane). I see an opening, there's a truck behind stopped at the light behind me now, and the light in front is red. Truck's not moving, so I signal, and start to go. Truck decides I'm somehow going to be impeding his day, so guns it across the intersection to stay about 2" behind my bumper, gunning his engine.
Ok, I think. This guy's a little whacked. We pull forward to the next light. I'm in left turn lane, he's right next to me now. He rolls down his window, and starts yelling and waving in a rather rude manner (don't want to say threatening, but his fist was pounding into his palm). I'm not a small guy, but this guy looks maybe 120 wet. I start laughing (my window's closed...and it's a loooong light). This, of course, enrages the stupid individual, who then opens his door and starts to walk around my car. I open the door a bit, reach in the back seat and grab the aluminum softball bat, and hold it up so he sees what he's walking into. Please note.....I'm not going to attack the stupid guy, I'm just warning him now what will happen if he attacks me.
A bright light of sudden realization goes off in stupid guy's head as he sees A) I'm holding a baseball bat, and he's holding his d!ck, B) He's a scrawny little punk in a button down shirt and I'm about 2x and a few cheeseburgers more than him, and C) He's standing in front of a car that has a green light.
Once the light turned green, I let off the brake and started to roll forward. Stupid guy got the clues his small brain was processing and ran back to his truck, yelling the whole way.
I don't brake check anymore now that I have a stick shift. [:)]
