Freaks in the big smoke.

[carlschmid2002]

I am in the process of moving from Townsville to Brisbane and it hasn't been without its problems. My D3 had super locked itself so I had borrowed the ex wife's Mazda 3 to drive into the city to see if I could get in. On the corner of Mary and Albert Street as I was looking for the turn into the underground carpark where the D3 had decided to stay I felt a bump from behind. I looked in the mirror and saw that a car had indeed run into me, though very lightly. I pulled to the side of the road. Th car pulled in behind me and I got out. In the front was a 17 year old girl on her Ls and her 50 something mother. She may have been a lot younger but she looked old. In the back was a teenage son with more pearcings and stuff hanging out of his face than I have ever seen. He was probably about 16 and 60kgs wringing wet. Their bumper was slightly pushed in. My car was unscathed as far as I could see. The mother just wanted to go and then sonny boy started abusing me because I was driving too slow and couldn't I see the L plates. He then wanted to go to a nearby alley and sort it out. I am 120kg and very fit for my age. I haven't been in a fight since I was a kid as people generally leave me alone. I have played a bit of Rugby and could always look after myself in the ruck. I was gob smacked. This was the same day they were having a memorial in the city for the young lad that was king hit in the Valley. As much as I would really like to get sonny boy in the back alley and give him good kick up the ass I would be the bad person as a 120kg Defence Force person. I asked him if he was threatening me. If so, maybe I should call the police. Mummy suggested sonny get back in the car and leave. All this whilst I have a 2 year old daughter in the back seat. In my frustration I couldn't even find my phone as it had slipped on the floor. I wouldn't have called the police unless he touched me but I wish I had taken a photo of the car. I just want to live in a small country town with no idiots who start trouble for no reason. I never would have allowed myself to get in a physical altercation with this idiot unless my daughter was in danger, but I wish we could tag these idiots for extra training in commonsense and manners.

You should have walloped him for good measure. Politely explaining that the incident was between you and the Learner and the Supervisor, not a backseat muppet!

Cheers

Thats harsh. As a life long City dweller, I can say that that was probably unusual. I hope they are nicer to me when I'm in Brisbane next week.

[The ho har's]

Carl, that is 1 reason we don't go into the city. Rodger, you back up here for good now, or going back to Vic? Were you there when Carl was there when we were camping in Vic? Billy, you going to call in this time?

Right that's it from me :D

Not nice with the youngster in the car. These types are all over the place , Towns and rural. Unless they are high or ****ed I wouldn't worry about them - the more noise they make, in my experience, the less likely they are to get physical.
cheers,

It's not easy but best walk away like you did rather that let some top shelf idiot to ruin your day or the next couple of years had you belted him.

We'll be staying a while in South Port on the way back, so could be a good chance Mrs HH.

Sorry mate, but you were too soft...

Should have got in his face, had him throw the first punch and then put his head through the car bonnet...

Little ****s like that annoy the heck out of me... And are shown little courtesy nowadays...

[Blknight.aus]

no, you get them in the small towns now too.

[Bearman]

no, you get them in the small towns now too.

Not as much as in the big smoke Dave. In the small towns the tossers get sorted out by the locals. And the tossers are usually blow in from the south!!!!

I would have whipsered something in his ear that would have made him sick and possible embarrass himself in front of his mother and sister by ****ing his pants. If he was that stupid to continue, I'm with Tombie. Maybe make use of door and B pillar and his head.

I once did exactly that with an idiot in Port Douglas when i was 17. Left a serious dint in my Mum's car which I had to fix. He spent some time in hospital. Unfortunately in this day and age I could easily see myself getting painted the bad guy and losing my job and possibly worse. Trust me, I have a very Type A personality, especially in conflict. It was hard not to head but him.

We get them in Orange...
My girlfriend works in the local yoghurt bar, and after asking a child not to go sticking his fingers in the yoghurt machines (safety and hygiene), the mother decided to have a fair go at her and ended up trying to get her into the street for a fight....
Over not letting Timmy jam his little nose picking fingers into other people's food....

Mrs hh:angel:

Arriving 26th from Rainbow Beach. Leaving 30th for home Caroline. Would be great to catch up.
Cheers, Billy.

Athens 1986: I was on foot. A bloke in a Magna, wishing to move me on, nudged me with his bumper. I put a massive dent in his bonnet with my fist. Similar size dent in his Ego too, I imagine. Not that I endorse such behaviour. :angel:

[shanegtr]

I seriously don't get why people get so worked up about some of this sort of trivial stuff that happens on the road. You can bet your bottom dollar that the idiot who went face first into the tackle box from the OP is going to end up on youtube as one of the road rage idiots

The dingle in the car is just a catalyst for a LOT of underlying rage to surface.

I remember one time a silly argument at a club between friends, the known small man with chip on shoulder had to run out to his car and get his Glock. It went downhill after shots were fired. But sorted, banned, no police etc.
