Know when to shout Know when to shut up!

As I was backing into a parking space last week a guy tried to cut into the same space behind me. I hit the brakes, too late we collided! He was in a rant and accused me of backing into him. He was very verbal and began to get physical with me. I took a step backward and he advanced on me! I told him to back off and he persisted. A cop was driving by and saw the argument escalating and stopped to intervene! The guy was all in a rage and was warned several times to keep quiet! With in a couple of minutes the other guy was in cuffs headed to the back of the cruiser. A report was taken, I was told to find another parking place or wait for the wrecker to move the other car. The damage to my car was non existent with a 2' scrape down the side of the other car. After the wrecker left and I took the parking place, I could see the other guy in the back of the cruiser prepared for his ride downtown. A bit of verbal abuse directed at the cop along with his verbal rants toward me had landed him a disorderly conduct, interfering with an investigation or resisting arrest, who knows? The rest of my afternoon was incident free and I like it that way. Being a jerk can be detrimental to not only your health but to your finances.

It's good to be able to remain calm and collected in dire situations but a lot of times, it's easier said than done.


I'm normally calm except when I'm being driven around by my daughter who just got her driving licence uh oh
I was not calm at all until the cop came then I knew I needed to control my myself verbally. It was difficult, very difficult!
But hey, you did well. You managed to suppressed whatever you were feeling when the cops turned up.

I think all of us must go for anger management class once every few years, including moi! grin
Hi CGotW wave
That's what I told my Biker friend. Even though you are a very careful and full of control person, others might not be. Even though you usually are calm, other people's abusive words might provoke you.
Glad you're ok. wine
