Thread: Just gotta vent a little....

Just had a fun adventure going to the bank. I was just outside my office(about a 30 foot walk from door to door) and a kid rolled through a red light making a right turn. He did so while looking to his left, and I was walking in front of his car. Said car was an old rusted out ****box. As he rolled into me (the bumper was literally 3 inches from me), I smacked the hood of his car to get his attention (really, I don't think I could have stepped away quickly enough to not possibly get hit), but just kept walking. Kid was about 15, looked like he weighed all of 130lbs. He leans out his window, and yells "I'll stab you in the neck and leave you to BLEED, whore!"

Now, I'd already be bleeding if he stabbed me in the neck, so really, I imagine he meant that he'd leave me to "die." Or perhaps, he'd just leave me there to continue to bleed? Unorthodox, perhaps...but not a completely ridiculous threat, I guess...OK, I'll forgive that one....but did he really have to call me "whore?" I mean, what?

I've always had much love for sentences that start "I'll stab you in the neck," so I waxed all nostalgic for my younger, dumber days. Now, I'm relatively confident in my ability to protect myself from attack, but of course would prefer to avoid it altogether. I'm surprised I held my tongue, but I was a bit shocked at his outrage, and didn't say a thing. I kept an eye on him as I kept moving away from the bad situation.

Then he just flicked a cigarette in my direction and drove away, and I went to the bank. The bank security guard on the corner, didn't say "Are you OK," or "Did you get the plate number" or "Do you want me to call the cops."

He said "Did he just call you 'whore'?"

Yeah, thanks champ.

Glad to hear he didn't hit you and you're OK. Good thing you kept your composure too. I'm sure it was for the best.

I got a bit of a chuckle out of your story, thanks for sharing

Now I am only 25...but i am definately not a kid...

that said i dont understand the kids and young people of todays society. In my area teachers and parents are talking about there kids having pill parties where they take pills from there parents and everyone just starts poping them ... and other things that I would never have thought of ten years ago in high school.

It seems to me in todays society kids are growing up less responsible and less respectful of themselves, and others. It really is sad to see. I was lucky enough to grow up with good parents and have good role models and it seems like this just isnt the case any more...

Back on topic i am glad you didnt get hurt and that you didnt approach the car after he said that...I may have exchanged words with the punk...

Have a great rest of your day...

when you get home have a nice long hot towel treatment then a nice long stropping session and a relaxing shave and things will be better...

Seriously, if you got the plate info, I would call the cops on him. Aside from nearly hitting you, he threatened you. If you felt like educating the little darling, you could easily get him arrested for that threat. It might do him some good, or at least give him a reality check.

I hope you dented his hood.

I would have pulled my cell and started dialing.

911 what is your emergency?
I just pulled a 15 year old smart arse from his car, by his neck and beat him senseless after he attempted to run me over in a marked crosswalk.
We'll send a patrol unit immediately.
Thanks I'll be here.

Then after I hung up I would have asked him if he liked bleeding.

Seriously. I am glad that you are ok and I would have handled it the same way as you did.

Could he have meant a Razor whore, A/S whore, hone whore, or brush whore?

Also have the police change his diaper and dry him behind the ears.

It's gonna be okay. Whores do it for money. You do it for free. That makes you a slut, not a whore.

Just think about it this way. One day, he'll be in a similar situation and smart off to the wrong guy and learn a painful lesson on exactly how wrong his attitude is. Or else he'll actually run someone over and kill them and end up in prison with plenty of time to meditate on how he should have been paying attention, and he'll remember all those other times people tried to hint that he should have been paying attention and how he was too stupid to see that people were trying to help him.

Now, I will first say that I have always been a believer that if it's my bad I can't get mad. okay, almost hit you, you smacked my car, I'm sorry. I don't understand though when guys are the ones in the wrong and get ****ed off at you about it. I had a guy driving 20 under on the freeway one time, I sped up and passed and stayed on the left (it split west/east just after that) and as I pulled even he flips me off! what!? One time I almost missed a lane change and cut in tight in front of a guy, I doubt he NEEDED to brake, but it obviously made him mad. Now, I would have been like "hey, sorry man" had he given me the chance. instead he speeds up, darts in front of me and hits his brakes while flipping me off. people's reactions make no sense.

I have many others like that, always it's a jackass who get's ****ed at the wrong person. sometimes I make mistakes and I'm always apologetic.

now onto the other part. "whore" you're a guy right? I think that a good string of expletives is something akin to art and should be put together with proper care and thought. a better sentence would have been "i'll stab you in the neck and leave you bleeding you stupid ass bastard" (I have found over the years that "ass bastard" is an immensely useful pairing, you can add all number of things before it, fat, old, ugly, stupid, slow. alternatively for women it's "ass bitch")

but how many guys do you see that act like the punk who almost hit you and you KNOW that they have that attitude because they've never had their ass handed to them?

the youngsters, as appalling as it is, sometimes do entertain me. couple years back we were out of town for work and a bunch of the staff wanted to go dancing. not knowing the area we ended up at an 18+ club. I remember going through the crowd and somebody bumped me real hard (the intentional kind of shoulder) I look over and some punk kid is trying to give me a stare down. I almost laughed out loud. I just smiled, gave him my best deprecating head shake and walked off.

just think about that, laugh at the fact that he was trying to be tough and actually called you a whore.

What an interesting sentence. I'll stab you in the neck and leave you to bleed, whore. That's the best he could come up with? Kids today really are depraved. Since it was a surprise, that was obviously his default threat. What a sad case.

I agree though, should've taken down his plate and called the police. 'Round these parts, that's assault, possibly with a deadly weapon. With the security guard as witness, he'd be in some huge trouble.
