Manhattan September 2019
This guy aggressively pulled in front of my wife’s car as she was trying to merge into the street with a car full of young kids, including a newborn. We were before a red light and there was no reason to introduce such risk. I got out of the car to ask him why this was necessary and he rolled down the window and pointed a can of mace at me. He also told me he was a police officer (last time I checked police don’t escalate a situation with mace). I told him there was no reason to threaten me when I simply wanted to tell him there was no need to cut us off, particularly in front of a red light. I guess it goes to show how insecure and crappy people can be. He then called me a name based on my appearance. Weak and crotchety.
First off, good on you having to brace a can of mace sprayed in your face (well I’ll be, I created a mini-poem there)
Second, calling him weak and crotchety just makes you look weak and crotchety. Not trying to sound like an asshole, but just don’t be like that.
