yeah, almost running someone over with your car is totally non-confrontational. -- nm - znufrii Aug 27, 06:46 7
- Actually, most of the time, I'd wager it's not. I'm sure that every once in a while a driver IS trying to run someone over. - Jim Aug 27, 06:51 6
  - i do it because i honestly think they wouldn't even know they *almost hit a human* unless i did. - Andie Aug 27, 06:53
  - point is.. if you're within arm's reach, you're way too close. it's not like i'm charging cars and attacking them. -- nm - colin Aug 27, 06:53 4

      - jeez, give me a little credit.. i don't just go around slapping cars. if i decide to run in to traffic, that's on me. - colin Aug 27, 07:13 2

        Or get callused. :-) -- nm - Krusty Aug 27, 07:32
I think confronting dangerous behavior is appropriate. Why wouldn't you? -- nm - colin Aug 27, 06:45 3
- Not saying there's anything wrong with that. Just saying that if you reach out and hit someone's car... - Jim Aug 27, 06:51 2
  - yeah. -- nm - Reagen Aug 27, 06:55
  - ah ok. i used to really fear confrontation, but that's gone away in recent years. i'm much more prepared for it now,so i feel ok knowing the outcome -- nm - colin Aug 27, 06:54
Yeah...I get why you would slap the car. But I also wouldn't be surprised if the driver gets pissed about it. -- nm - Jim Aug 27, 06:44 2
- I'm aware.. and people yell all the time. That was just the most extreme reaction. -- nm - colin Aug 27, 06:46
- Yep. -- nm - Kim Pine Aug 27, 06:44
