So I'm going through into a gas station today (Des Moines) and go to pull around to the pump. There was a van with its door open and a sign to the right of that leaving me about 2 inches of clearance. Like a good human I wait 30 seconds or so and realize that the person in the passenger seat sees me but for one reason or another doesn't want to pull in their door to let me pass.

I decide to pull through, knowing I clear. As I pass (slowly) the passenger yells out FUCK YOU and a whole lot of other nonsense. I go and pay and go back to my car and the driver walks up to confront me. I tell him to get back (looking him in the eyes) two times and he stops and says "I'm Back". He then starts talking to me and I tell him not to talk to me but he continues on telling me that there could have been an accident and people are hurt or killed every day in accidents and I need to watch the fuck out. So I leave and the guy follows me, tailgating, for about 3 miles before turning back the way he came.

Now this is only once incident, just a year ago out in Renton I pull up the the Fred Meyer and see a couple guys screaming at an older couple. The were basically getting in their face and telling them that they fucked up by hitting their car door (old couple looked terrified). I go in the store and come out about 20 minutes later and they are still yelling at the older couple with even less space between them. The only thing I have (for now) is bear spray so I got that out and took the plastic safety off and right as I do that I see one of the men motioning with his hands, in a choking posture, saying "if you call the cops I will choke the life out of you", and as he finishes his sentence his hands are just touching the older woman's neck! So I yell out "That's fucked up!", they look over at me, and immediately drive away (probably scared of getting stick time).

Anyway just thought I would share .

I don't carry (yet). Interesting though is how I tried to deescalate it at every turn and still get the two guys following me thinking who knows what, then turning back the way they came... Imagine if I accidentally did hit their car...
