Reducing road rage

Same thing, he hit my side mirror. I honked for the long time, half of forever as you described it.

I opened my window and flipped his mirror, hard! He opened his window and said to me that I should have given way to him. Without speaking, I hit the side mirror again and again in an attempt to destroy it.

He made the gesture of going out. Since I have no way of going out of my car, I instinctively reached out to get whatever I can to defend myself. I did this without taking my eyes away from him, with a sharp looking eyes!

He suddenly stopped, and I don't know why but he was motionless for a few moments. I was still looking at him, intently and ready for anything. Then I looked for what I was holding, taking my time what it was. Then I looked at him again, feeling my gnashing teeth. He decided to drove away, on the other side of the road.

I usually give way, regardless if he is coming from my right or left. But I have very little patience with those who counterflow.

So I really admire you, together with *EQAddict, who while being blamed by the motorcycle driver still kept his composure and let the guy go. I couldn't imagine myself letting go of that guy, who is solely responsible for ripping the tire. And a pair of tires is expensive!

Now that it is in the past, good thing the other driver stopped and went away. The guy is much bigger than me. Considering my small, tiny, thin, body, I have no way of defending myself.

And to think that what I got in my hand back then is a small plastic bottle!

I have a lot to give thanks, one is I'm still alive even to a bad guy like me. I hope I am forgiven, by the driver and those who will be reading this, for my shameful actions.

My guess....He froze, more in awe than in fear, upon recognizing who he hit, Brother Bossing.[emoji4][emoji120]

I do hope you understand my tagalog, since you converse in english language only

I can fully understand you as I'm a Filipino. I just use English as I don't want to see a lot of underlined letters as I type, besides that I have a "finger memory".

You know, the finger placement for "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog".

I'm actually ashamed of my post, but I'm just being honest with my experience without sugarcoating it.

I was having second thoughts about the post but I decided that it might help in a way, that we should always keep our emotions in check. In full rein, as described by *dr.d, so as to avoid unnecessary regrets.

If we obey traffic laws and etiquettes, and we don't receive it in return, then let this be a reminder that it is not worth our life, to tell the offending party to follow what we follow. In other words, let us extend that courtesy even if others are not doing it.

I know, this is easier said than done.

Yes Sir, i know the placement of fingers in the keyboard. What i knew is "The quick brown fox jumps over the sleeping lazy dog."

Sir, correct me if i am wrong, which is correct?

"sentence." or "sentence".

butting in.

i put the period after the ", if the quotation is part of a sentence.
i put the period before the " , if the quotation IS the sentence.

i didn't study or research this. it just seems... correct to me.

"sentence." or "sentence".

I think it depends, if is a sentence, and not a phrase, then the period should be inside the quotation marks. If it is a word or phrase that happens to end in the sentence, then the period should be outside of the quotation marks.

It seems *dr.d agrees with me on this post,

I am not a language teacher so I cannot claim that what I said is correct but, "It just seems correct for me." And that is perhaps a good example of a "sentence".

This is the first time, for the longest time, that I literally laughed for something by simply reading!!!

You are always hilarious and you never lose your touch.
