MOPED ARMY

Who cuts off a mopeder. Jeez, I don't know, I've always been a little skeptical about any story ever told to me, since so often have people stretched the truth a bit, but somehow I believe that. Maybe I just want to believe it, if it is made up, because it gives me an opportunity to live out the fantasy of actually having the balls to stand up for what I know is right. But I'm willing to believe that. I know that someone out there would do something like this, how would anyone else have ever thought up stories like that if they had never had an example to lie off of. Well, regardless of the story's creditability, I have to say that you did what you had to do. Sure, someone will always say that you acted out of line and took it a little too far, but how can any one know what is the exact, appropriate action that you should've taken in this scenario? All I know is that there is a basic human instinct, like a lusting, for revenge, and in this case you had your cake and ate it too. You stood up to the bastard but you did not get violent with him, which is unlike so many others with bad cases of road rage. My hats off to you, good man! There are others out there like you, but you still remain a rare breed. Someone capable of doing what is right, proving their point, but doing it in a non-violent, tasteful fashion. Oh, I wish I could at least honk at the SOBs that cut me off or don't acknowledge me at a stop sign. I think that your story has granted me at least an ounce more of courage, with which I can use starting tomorrow. Commuting to work is a hectic time around my town, but I won't let anyone forget that I am on the road and that I too have places to go and people to see, just as they have. I am mopeder, hear me roar.

What can I say...I just live in an area where far too many people have little to no respect for others. As for standing up to them...the first thing you've got to do is get their licence plate. That way, regardless of what transpires, you can always find them and make 'em pay one way or anther. Don't get me wrong though. I did the same things on my mountain bike when I used to ride it everywhere. Even when I'm walking the dog and crossing the road at a green light, if someone doesn't want to wait their turn like they should, I am more than happy to just stand in their way and really piss them off. A word of warning though. DON'T EVER DO THIS IF THERE AREN'T ANY WITTNESSESS AROUND!!!!!! You are looking for trouble and this may be just the trigger some people need to loose their wits and do things they normally would not do. Use simple common sense and have fun with the situation. There is nothing you can do to annoy someone more than to just simply agree with everything they say. If they insult you, agree. If they tell you you're being a jerk, tell them they are right. You have NO idea just how riled up some people can get when you do this. And to rub salt in the wounds, smile all the time.

Wut is it with the black Lexus drivers???? it ALWAYS a black Lex.....

Actually I've been seeing a trend... the more expensive the car the worse the driver. You'd think people would be the opposite, because its a bit of a crime to dent something that cost THAT much money! Might be because of high pressure jobs, cell phone use, or just simply thinking they own the road. Might just be that insecure wee-brained twits who think the car will impress people tend to buy them. (Personally I don't care about having a vehicle that impresses anyone... hence the moped. :)
