Hey man, first off, I’m sorry this happened to you. I’m sorry you had to take the brunt of it. That one and only time that happened to me, It is so startling, and really sticks with you. ![]() I am so sorry you had to go through that. I don’t have any advice other than, I had to just accept that, whatever issue this person had was his problem and not mine. But it was just senseless, and so messed up. He literally almost ran me over because he wasnt watching the road and speeding, and he got pissed because I reacted. I kept replaying it in my head and was so confused and kept trying to understand it. It really shook me up for days, and hurt my feelings. I am not a confrontational person by any means and I just got in my car and cried…. It was his fault, yet he called me a bitch and threw his drink at me from his car and sped off. One time this person almost hit me when I was walking to my car, and I moved my hands like ‘whoa’ but just continued walking on and I didn’t think it was a big issue. I am sorry kid how much it sucks that responsible people have to do 90% of the group project called "society." Find supportive people to vent/commiserate with and stay strong doing the good work so you don't fall into the pit of apathy and anger yourself. Treat strangers like wildlife especially the morons behind the wheel of a thousand pound vehicle feeling momentary anger. We do not tease the bison at the wildlife park because they are dumb animals. They were in the wrong for spitting on you but you also need to go above and beyond to protect yourself, even in the passenger seat. Do not engage in any behavior they can use to escalate their own. "so I get my arm out the window into like an upwards motion"ĭon't do this. It sucks on principle that others should have a basic level of responsibility, but since a few of them do not, you are left to change your behavior to stay safe. The premise of defensive driving is that assholes will be assholes so you need to proactively protect the both of you and mindfully drive. I do have a hard time getting over stuff like this though, so I was wondering if you have any advice… how to deal with jerks like these, how to get over it, you know… anything’s welcome. My boyfriend almost went bonkers but I stopped him because it wasn’t worth it.Īnyway… this is not the first time I’ve been assaulted in public (around a month ago I was hit with an egg from a moving car, which hurt like a mf). ![]() Apparently that was enough to trigger him. This absolute fucking knucklehead almost crashes into our car, stops like 1mm away from us and starts honking super aggressively while swearing at us - so I get my arm out the window into like an upwards motion - such as when you say ‘what the fuck do you want’ (I didn’t say that) - and after we finally take over the car this guy stops next to us and spits on my face. I am NOT confrontational at all, but today my boyfriend was driving and I was in the passenger’s seat with my window rolled down.Īt some point we encounter a stopped car on our lane and it gets hard to overtake it since a lot of other cars are passing by on the other lane.
