Ever had a non alcohol-related skirmish with a random in public?

Reminds me of a time I "saw red". Going around a big roundabout, and as I went to indicate left to move across and exit, a lady in a little smart car was rather stupidly undertaking me. Infact, if I hadn't looked I would have simply gone into her. So I beeped to make her realise she was driving stupidly (undertaking), and let her go by and pulled in behind her as we both took the exit.

Next thing her 'finger' came out of the window. I took a deep breath, purposely dropped back and let the matter slide...

About 500yrds later we came to another junction, with roundabouts again. She was heading left and me straight on, so as I made my way past I happened to go by (overtake) her...

What do I see? She slams her middle finger up against her drivers window!!

I'd let it slide before, but this time 'red mist' hit and I swerved infront of her and hit my breaks making her slide and skid to a halt. My index finger exited the window waving a big 'no... no... no...' and off I drove...

:eek: fair play for remaining calm, i would have felt like reacting a bit maybe do something to wind her up aswell. I would have dragged her out the car, give her up the behind and kept slapping her ass with a piece of lettuce while shouting and swearing at her.
 
I've seen some funny drunk ones.
You've never laughed as hard as you will when you see a woman try and beat down a bouncer with a footlong sub :D

I have had one or two random things which escalated to fighting fast but not for a while. I sat on a bench in town once some bloke came up "I was walking toward the bench before you, you saw me" and a load of other crap, it's a public bench for gods sake, ended up him cracking me round the face and me preceding to punch him straight in the gut and push him away, "pleasantrys" were exchanged as his mate held him back, I just couldn't be bothered with it and walked off.
 
My road rage story pre-dates the coining of the term road rage.

I was trundling round a roundabout minding my own business when I was badly cut up by a guy who decided he preferred my bit of road to his. Thinking perhaps that he'd not seen me I beeped him to warn him I was there. He turned around and gave me the finger, to which I casually, but somewhat foolishly, replied in kind.

At this point he went crazy, leaning right round between the two front seats to gesticulate at me and mouth what were no doubt obscenities. In doing so he was, of course, no longer looking where he was going, so he was swerving all over the road and at one point mounted the curb onto the grassy central reservation. As he did this I passed him and assumed that would be it.

I was wrong. Further down the road he pulled alongside me and started trying to force me off the road several times by cutting me up even more badly than he had in the original incident. Finally he gave up on that and contented himself with continuing to gesticulate from behind me. Again, I thought that was the end of it.

I was wrong again. When I turned off the main road he followed me, and when I turned off that road he followed me again. When I finally parked, he got out of his car and came over to mine. My passenger and I quickly rolled up our windows and locked the doors, which was a good thing as he started banging on the windows with his fists and threatening me with all sorts of unpleasant things.

Finally he gave up and stomped back to his car where, to my horror, I saw that this whole incident had taken place with a toddler in a car-seat in the back of his car.
 
Loads of times in Darlo when I lived in the NE. I've had a few randoms try and start a fight with me for no reason.
 
Last one i saw - not part of.
Romford railway station, guy said "excuse me please" to a chav and his 2 mates, "can i get to that ticket machine."

This was met with "who the **** do you think you are?!" and then he proceeded to offer him out for a fight to the death in the street, while asking him constantly "do you know who i am?? do you know who my dad is?" (i was biting my lip trying not to blurt out any suicidal homosexually themed witty quips)

This was a 17-18 year old scrote x3 vs a 30ish year old city guy! We made eye contact after and sorta raised our eyebrows in a ??? kinda way, it was all well odd!
There are some seriously mentally deficiant people round here.

I had my finger on my keyboard trigger at all times, it would have been a slaugter had it kicked off.

LOL! Another food one...

A neighbour of a mate of mine was coming out of High Wycombe one night, walking into one of the more dodgy areas, eating it late night kebab...

Some bushes russelled next to him and someone jumped out and tried to mug him for a kebab!!

The two were actually rolling around on the ground fighting over it! If you think about it, the mugger was actually doing him a favour probably :)
 
When my daughter was about 4 these three chavs were walking through the local park with a dog. Dog did a big turd right near where I was standing, so as they walk by I was looking at them, saying nothing, but clearly implying 'gonna clear that up?' They just walk on like these sub-human scum tend to do (no interest in taking responsibility for anything but the first to complain and go for compo when anyone infringes their tiny little lives).

Would have ended there (not the fighting type) when of course my daughter runs up to me to tell me something and goes straight through it and lands on it. Red mist. The three had taken up position on a park bench by then so I get a big stick, take her shoe off and proceed to start flicking what I can off the shoe and onto their backs. One of them goes ape, but the other two don't look interested. Would have been an interesting one - they were all about 18 so it was three on one with a 35 yr old guy but I think they saw how angry I was. There's something about feeling your kids have been violated/threayened. The brave one said I was only being hard cos I had a stick. I calmly bent down, gave it to the offending canine, gave the dog a big bit of love and attention and strode towards the chav.

He backed down and left the scene.

So... some bloke jumped out of the bushes trying to get some kebab? Sounds like a rapist to me.

Speaking of Basildon though, the last time I had a go at someone I was working in Eastgate funnily enough. I've not really had any non-alcohol fuelled scuffles - touch wood - since I was in school. I had a fair few alcohol-fuelled ones around five years ago, but it's definitely all quiet on the Western Front presently.

some guy pinned me to a wall and threatened to kill me. pretty scary since it came from nowhere. all id done was say hi to his GF who was an old school mate in the street.
 
Once while fishing on the avon near bath weir (opposite the park by the rec) I heard shouting coming towards me. This middle aged drunkard was stumbling his way down the path getting into every persons face that he possibly could, mumbling and shouting stuff at them.

He didn't hurt anyone but he was just threatening everyone that he passed. Eventually he also seemed to get annoyed with his shirt so he ripped that off, threw it on the floor, shouted "**** OFF!" at it and went on his way topless.

He didn't threaten me but he scared an old couple and a group of tourists.

To say I was confused was an understatement but I was worried he might end up getting in the face of the wrong person so I called the police anyway just in case.


Odd day that was!
