whens the last time you yelled at someone in public?

that's priceless!
i'd pay money to see some Amazonian get out of her ride to rag on someone like that.

Holy Crap, a topic which i can fill about 6 pages.
This is a Daily occurrence in my line of work, as i Drive a Taxi in southern California. I cover anywhere between 200 to 400 miles a night depending on what day of the week it is. Probably the best one i can put at the moment happened the other night at one of the local Indian Casino Valet lines.
There i was with 3 Drunks in the car, i pull up to one of the Valet lines that's blocked off so that one of the guys can get his drunk buddy over by the casino entrance. another taxi driver (different company) comes up to my door pitching a b!tch about where i was sitting and that i was in the wrong. With the Valet staff, Casino Security, Riverside County Sheriff Deputies, 100+ people all around, i jump out of my cab and rip him up one side and down the other for being a total a$$hole, the guy proceed to try to yell at me more and started to get real aggressive twords me. I told the Douche that he better back off and go back to his car or i was going to cut his rocks off and shove thiem up somewhere, about this time he gets physical, and about 30 seconds later he was on the ground in convulsions via a nice little electric Jolt by Mr. Deputy.
Needless to say, i picked up my fair, and went along my way.
PS, Got a court date in 2 weeks, to testify against the arrogant ***.

ya know...............
reading some of these "rants" of ours.............i think we're getting a little close to having this thread shut down. (IMO)
don't get me wrong, i'm usually into a "heated discussion" once or twice a week (@ least), and they do get quite heated, but i think some of us are getting a little too detailed.
i'm just saying, before we have Kyle or Richard step in to "remind" us about forum rules, maybe we better think over our post before it goes up.
i'd just hate to see a nice "venting off steam" thread get put to bed.

Yeah thats what I was thinking. Describing the situation is fine, leaving out some comments won't effect the story much.
I don't normally yell or anything. I'm 6'1 and 285 pounds. Most people see me and just walk away apoligising. Funny thing is I'm really easy going and not one to fight so my looks and size yells for me. In WV you can carry a pistol in open view in a car if you want as long as the ammo is seperate from the gun. So the clip in my center storage and 40cal. in the locking glovebox. If I'm traveling in state or if camping or anything, I'll bring that but like I said, I show respect and normally get it back. Pray for the best and prepeare for the worst.
Plus with my beliefs. I just shower people that do me like that with kindness, smile and thank them for thinking about me. Nothing makes people madder than them yelling at a friendly grizzly lookin redneck in public. Makes them look like a moron. I know God won't put me in a situation that I can't handle.
Hope I didn't offend anyone with this post.
Oh and that one guy a few pages back, was "Getting alot of food at Sonics at 4 in the morning". What were you doin'? lol just joking

X2 on the traffic. and i've thought about the whole PA thing, but i'm pretty sure it's illegal (@ least here i know it is).
now for the OP............Late Sunday evening.
i'm @ WalMart, and when i come out (it's around 8pm, and a pretty empty parking lot), i see this woman park her car like an inch from the back of my Blazer (i'm not exagerating!). her front tires were just over the line between us.
now, many may not see an issue with this, but when i always park towards the front end of the spot, so i leave a large enough gap behind me to load stuff into the back without having to pull forward, i see this as more of an issue of parking too close-you obviously can't drive.......or see!
so this woman make a point of looking @ the distance, and waited for me to get closer-i was parked about 20 spots from the doors (& didn't think i said my comment that loud, but whatever). she asks me what the problem is, so i bluntly tell her-politely (my kids are now almost @ the truck), and she has the never to tell me to park somewhere else next time!
needless to say, the kids were put into the truck quickly.
i'm actually pretty proud of myself, i don't remember swearing once @ her. (hey, there's a first time for everything!).

see, ya took that all wrong.
i'm the last person to be PC about anything. i'm just sayin'............the Mods/Admins will shut this topic down if the stroies start getting too..........what's the word i'm looking for...........colourful?
like it was said a few posts ago, omitting a few comments won't take away from the story, or your point.
trust me, i could make a sailor blush with some of the stuff that can fly from my lips sometimes.

I damn near yelled at this lady yesterday, I probably would have if I wasn't at work;
So I'm running register at work and all, this lady comes up with her ten year old or so daughter. Her daughter wants some pretzel sticks (I work at Auntie Annes), we don't make them anymore except for special orders. I tell her this, saying it'll be about 10 minutes or so. She doesn't want to wait, so she gets a thing of our nuggets. Then the mother asks for an Almond pretzel, just her luck we started making those special order too a few weeks ago. She of course still doesn't want to wait so she get's an original pretzel, stating that we should ''rethink that because [she] isn't ever going to stand around waiting for ten minutes,'' as if I give a damn what she is or isn't gonna do. So I give her the pretzels and ring her up, it's $5 something, I tell her the amount. We have a huge line, going on to the store next to us, and she's standing there not doing anything to get her money out, talking to her daughter. I wait around 10-15 seconds, seeing if she's gonna do anything, she never does so I figure maybe she didn't hear me. I tell her the amount again and she gets all annoyed like and declares that she's "getting to that." My ***, she's standing there talking to her daughter not even touching her purse or anything. So eventually she gets the money out, give it to me, I give her the change. Before she leaves she tells me how I "have no idea how disappointed [she] is." I honestly wanted to tell her how she has no idea how much I don't give a damn, among other things. It sure didn't help that we were busy as hell, and every single person that came through only had either one's or twenties, and I was outta tens and fives which made giving change for a twenty pretty frustrating.
Oh and if this is too "colourful" just let me know, I'll edit as needed.
