> The first weapon to be employed is a Middle Finger. If that proves ineffective, it's followed by a lugnut taken from a coffee can that I keep handy. If and when things get to that level, the person usually wises up quick and finds a new hobby. There are other tools available if the nutcase decides to escalate further.

I, uh, okay but I hope you realize that this is far more extreme than what the other person was suggesting!





Are you kidding? Driving all over Creation trying to shake some crazy off my tail, getting on/off the interstate, calling the cops ("please sir, drive across town to handle my problem for me!"), and so on is what you consider normal, acceptable way of Handling Business, but simply throwing a lug nut at the son of a bitch is too much? Really strange culture you've got there.

Taking a break is less extreme than throwing a lug nut at a moving car.

Exiting and immediately reentering a freeway is also less extreme.

Calling the cops if someone that is raging at you follows you when you do that is not extreme.

Nobody suggested "driving all over creation".


It may surprise you to learn that you have nothing to teach me about how to live or how to solve problems, son. Your advice is worthless.

But please, tell us more about yourself and your broken, hopeless society.

Your problems fester and grow because you refuse to address them.


Because I refuse to... throw stuff at people?

And are we in different societies now?


Yes.
