Heart warming tale of people fighting back
Discussion
Hi all,
Had to share this with you as it makes me smile everytime i think about it. Yes it could have turned out very differently, but it didn't and i rejoice in that.
Old chap of 71 years takes his usual short drive on a Saturday morning to the bakers in the next town. Whilst sat in a que at the traffic lights, several vehicles in front of him move off at the green light. However he doesn't, distracted by a roadside advert he misses the light and has to stop at a red.
At this point the vehicle behind starts flashing and sounding it's horn in rage the driver making gestures through the windscreen. Before our old chap can put his hand up in appology, the young driver of the vehicle behind is already out of the car and striding towards the open drivers window of the old gents car.
Then without saying anything punches the old guy hard in the side of the head, taking him completely by surprise, he then screams abuse at him and turns to walk back the his car.
Shocked but quite calm the old chap gets out of his car, grabs the youth by his neck and starts to smash his face into his car as hard as he could. After he had decided the young man had about enough, he released his grip and the youth fell to the floor, face blackened and running with blood.
The old gent wipes the blood off his car with a clean hanky, slowly gets back into his car and continues his journey to the bakers.
The thing is this quiet, well spoken old gent (who I've met a couple of times, and found very pleasant) used to be a 'business man' in the East end of London. His business associates included the Crays and their contemporaries, which while common knowledge in the family is seldom mentioned.

t!
Something similar to that story happened to me a few weeks back, I was driving sensibly in traffic when a taxi decided he should be in front of me so generally drove like a cock, eventually undertaking in a bus lane. A little way up the road I stopped behind him at some lights and he made hand gestures so I waved.
At the point the moron got out and stormed towards my car with a bulging red face that looked like a heart attack was immient and then he punched my car and immediately backed away. So I got out and he turned slowly white and got back into his car not willing to try punching a human being.
I remained calm and polite (well sarcastic) and asked the guy behind to be a witness. Taxi driver lost his job and had a warning from the police for his trouble.

Same here.Some idiot cut me up in traffic. I stopped behind him at the lights a bit further on, so I got out, walked up to his car and tapped on his window.
When he wound it down, I shot him in the face. He won't be doing that again.
