Someone just gave me a dirty look
Some big white guy in a truck towing and empty trailer was behind me for about half a mile and when we pull up to the light he is next to me going to turn left, and I stop like 15 feet back from the car ahead me and he creeps next to me so I get the feeling I'm being watched and when I look over he's just staring at me and keep staring at me as we pull away from the light...
I didn't know what to do so I just stuck my tonque out at him and he kept staring. After my last road rage incident at the very same stop light I was ready to whip out the 911 though...I wonder if it was the same guy is why...

I've had a similar situation, but I'd be afraid to stick my tongue out at anyone.
I'm just glad that you were not alone on the road.
I had a couple of punks shine one of those 100,000 candle power spotlights on me.
When I would slow down to let them pass, they pulled in front of me and slowed to a crawl ( all the while shining the spotlight at me.) When I tried to go around them, they swerved to keep me behind them.
I didn't have a cell phone and no form of protection. This was at 3:00 in the morning in the middle of nowhere.
What would you do in a situation like that ?

Man, that's weird...I don't know what I'd do.
I didn't stick my tongue out to piss him off, I just stick my tongue out as a matter of habit to say "huh,"  |

Yeah- are you sure he wasn't making goo goo eyes at ya?
I had some stupid punks do that passing/swerving/slowing down nonsense to me once. I freakin' passed 'em on the shoulder, then they left me alone.

I usually do this and a self nipple rub. Maybe throw in a tongue wiggle too. They don't look anymore.

The best policy is to just ignore the arse. That way, their mission fails, and it doesn't escalate into a felony. I used to smile and wave when getting the finger, but that just makes the offenders even angrier.
After my incident a couple years ago, I don't chance it.

I had a couple punk high school kids in a neon call me "f@g" as I drove by them the other day. I made sure nobody was behind me and hit my brakes about as hard as I could (spilled my dang toolbox) and Im pretty sure that scared em off.
Ironic thing is how can they call me that with my gf in the passenger seat?
