Default Honking Fools....

Hi Guys. I havent started a new thread for a while but something happened to me and my girlfriend last night that was an absolute classic.

We had gone down to see Serenity at the movies, excelent film highly recommended, and after it finished we were making our way out past the pubs and cafes near the cinema as it was busy being friday night and all. Anyway we get too a zebra crossing and a barina stops to let us go. As we cross we just get past it by 1/2 a metre and they honk at us. I spin round to see a 17 year old girl and her boyfriend giggle and speed off.

STUPID MOVE , especially when there is a red light like 5 metres away from our position and she is unlucky enough to line up behind another car. So after 30 odd seconds off my girlfriend and I going WTF stupid little girl I decide to scare the living out of them as we can still see her looking at us.

So i drop what im holding and start running at there car at full speed. When they noticed me coming the girl totally herself and was just about in the passenger seat scrambling to hit the door lock spilling her boyfriends drink all over the place. When i arrived at my destination of her window i started yelling abuse at her and banging on her window. The sheer look of panic and terror was pure gold, after 30 seconds of this i stop and calmly walk back to my girlfriend without a single comment or noise comming from the either of them.

The best bit was a group of 6 or so other people saw the whole thing and started hurling there own abuse at them when I was walking off.

Great Movie, Great after entertainment. :monkes: :

Well done, 8pAc! An old move, but a classic move. Always good to see.

Sometimes you have to just ignore some people. Major fights over petty matters happen if you worry about other morons in life.

As the labour member for information (1949) & only Australin politican to be shot Arthur Augustus Caldwell said two wongs (wrongs) don't make a white (right).

I did something similar to a young bloke and his girlfreind once after they cut me off ! Only to get to a red light anyway! I got out of my car walked up to his drivers side window , and best of all hasnt seen me walking up to his car ! When I got there I started bashing on his window and yelled "HEY MATE " , he was leaning as far from the window as he could and was terrified , and I told him to wind his window down a bit ! After repeated times of me asking , he finally winds his window down a little , and I said " your NO FEAR sticker doesnt work very well does it ? " And then I walked calmly back and got in my car !

And a few years ago ( when i was young and silly ) me and a mate used to cruise alot in melbourne , and used to pull up at lights regularly and get in a yelling match , then get out of our cars and start abusing eachother in front of heaps of cars waiting at the lights as well! Then we would just start talking normaly and agree to meet at the local watering hole for a few drinks like nothing had happened ! hehehehehehe Silly, but we used to get a laugh out of it !

Yeah normally we would and my girlfriend did, however i figured if your dumb enough to do this to someone then eventually you get whats coming to you and as GlennAUII said maybe they will think about there actions in the future.

Tell you what ... you were lucky her boyfriend didn't pull a gun on you. You would have been really screwed then.

If someone does that to me .. I just ignore them and be on my way without making a scene and causing more trouble.

You were very very lucky to walk away from that alive. Especially in this day and age.

I 17 year old with a gun in brisbane would have to be the most unlikely event ever, especially in the area it happened. I had factored him getting out of the car looking for trouble. But turns out they were too scared. e

I dont go start yelling crazy stuff to everyone i see do something spaz as there are some crazy people out there. What the silly little girl and her boyfriend should have realised is that I MAY BE THE CRAZY ONE with a gun who may just loose his temper at something small. The game plays both ways.

geez someone needs to take some chill pills or something...

your lucky the boyfriend didnt take offence and start a fight. Better to let things go i reckon, why make something out of nothing? Though I'm sure your girlfriend thoguht you were a big man for terrorising a teenage girl :ymca:

I was sort of hoping he would get out, but I didnt even get a response not even another playful toot ;). Actually my girlfriend thought it was quite funny as she wasnt impressed at all by the honking we received.

Ended OK this time but maybe next time she may get out and bit*h slap you both :

nice one 8pac, I live on a busy road with no traffic lights and young guys in cars are always screaming past and beeping or yelling things out to any one they see.

I just find it strange I don’t see the humour in it, if I’m out the front mowing the lawn and you hear a car scream past and the passenger blurts something out by the time you look up there gone ,and you can never hear what they say anyway.

I always chuckle to myself imaging them telling each other how cool they are as they drive off.

Jeez some people are sooks around here! Someone pull a gun on him? Get real, it's Brisvegas, not South Central LA.

Haha! I see the humour there.

A good one to yell at cyclists is "Push harder, your mum had to!"

About 2 years ago a mate and i were driving down parramatta rd in auburn. my mate driving his ea. he pulls in front of a commodore, with 3 idiots in it( i think they still had nappies on).we wanted to turn right so changed lanes( a herd of elephants had room to get in) anyway they took exception to us and started yelling,honking the horn and piled out of the car threatening all sorts of mayhem towards us.now between them getting out of their car and us quietly getting out of ours something very strange happened, they all of a sudden went very quiet and slunk back to their car and sat without a sound until about 2 minutes later the lights changed and we all trundled off,(the laughter and derision( directed at the 3 heroes) from the people in the cars around us was in its self very amusing)I dont know if it had anything to do with the fact that my mate is 6'5" and i am 6' 2" and we were both well built,( even though we were both in our 50s at the time) or that we were coming home from karate class, or that we still had on our GIs(karate uniforms with our black belts still wrapped around our waists)( this is a true story) anyway all i can say is the stupidy of youth still astounds me...( we have all been there)................
