Since a lot of us are fessing up, I'll tell a dumb story. I "know this guy" who last summer, was being tailgated by a "gentleman" while on his commute for no reason other than the fact that he was going the speed limit on some back roads and the tailgater didn't want to. So when he got to a stop sign at a 4 way intersection, the tailgater cuts through the gas station parking lot to cut him off as they are both going to turn right. He made a fast complete stop and took off, cutting the tailgater off and making him leave a good 15 foot skidmark in the parking lot as he avoided hitting "this guy that I know," as he came around the corner where he was attempting to pull out. It was when he proceeded through the parking lot that he had had it with his yelling and cursing him out from behind him for a few miles and decided he was done taking static from tailgaters. "This guy" slammed the car in park in the middle of the road and got out of what appears to be a gangster ride, as it's a mid 90's full size GM sedan with questionably dark windows. It turned out the tailgater was old enough to be his dad, as they sat there with the traffic blocked off, "this guy I know" started calling him every name in the book and ordering him to get out of his car. The older guy only cracked his window to yell back, refusing to give into the invite to the fight but could have easily produced a weapon and used it at that point. Basically, "this guy" ended up waiting until the tailgater finally went around him and sped on down the road and got back in his car. He knows that he was a complete moron and you should probably never do anything like what he did, not only because someone may very well be someone else who carries a weapon who you're threatening with a butt whippin, but I'm sure that if reported, you would probably lose your CHL. Fortunately for "this guy," he did not have his CHL at the time and and has really thought his behavior over and now pulls over to allow inconsiderate tailgaters to pass him if he can't take it any longer. He also believes that having a CHL prevents him from giving into situations as mentioned above. Not to mention, he doesn't need his daughter having to be told that "Daddy's on vacation."
