Idiots I don't know honked and cursed at me?

Post Reply New Topic

It's extremely common, if extremely moronic, behaviour. As for the situation where groups of guys pass you in a car, it's very rare they will do so with me without shouting something stupid that I can't decipher. I'd be astonished if this didn't happen less often to the normal red blooded or alpha male, something I certainly don't present as. I have difficulties with this type of irreverence and it does upset me, but it causes you meltdowns, I like OJani's suggestion of trying your best to hold in said meltdown until you are in private. I become upset at any sort of trolling that happens in public. Having moved to a new neighbourhood not long ago someone there seems to have noticed me and when seeing me in the street has been trying to strike up conversations as if I'm some sort of long time best buddy he recognises, when in fact I don't know who the hell he is or what he's talking about. This is also trolling and this particular situation is the type that people may or may not recognise.

Sorry for the silly question, but do this kind of people troll random passers-by or is their attention caught by some particular behavior? Because I have got trolled so many times that every time I see a group of suspicious guys walking towards me I just turn the corner... I must admit that I tend look at the road while walking but apart from that I have no idea whatsoever o_O

I have had people honk at me as they drive by or young men shouting something out the window at me. I never took it personally. I was just "what?" and thought nothing of it. It's just too strange for me to get upset over it and I have been told it's random. I never understood that behavior. I have never done it myself. Maybe people are just honking to hear the sounds of their horn or they accidentally hit it and I just happened to be there. I have done that before so I give them a benefit of a doubt.

I remember in 7th grade, my class goes outside and a car drives by and the young man shouts out the window "get back to school" and some kids yelled back "shut up."


I also remember when I was in 6th grade, we were on the bus going home and after we pulled out of the school parking lot to go home, one of the boys from my class shouts out the windows to the workers who were working on the subdivision for the new neighborhood "ha ha you have to work, ha ha you have to work" and he kept shouting it and neither of them looked up nor said anything. They all acted like they were deaf.

The only solution I've found for this is to just make become very strong, so you can appear strong. I keep facial hair, partially for this reason, if you have a beard, people psychologically analyze you as being stronger and more masculine. So, I keep a good amount of facial hair for that reason, and I just sorta learned to keep up having a somewhat "tough" sorta Clint Eastwood demeanor.

If they caught me on a good day, I'd probably be able to not care. On a bad day, I don't know anymore. I'd probably be much less rational than I usually am. I have PTSD issues from being incarcerated, so... Yeah... Also, I've practiced more on a punching bag and have started lifting and generally getting stronger. So, on a bad day, yeah, I'm kind of afraid of what might happen if some idiotic kids tried some s**t with me like they used to.

So far, I've not had it really happen lately last serious incident I've had was when I was riding my bike, admittedly on the sidewalk, these kids wouldn't move, I asked kindly for them to move, they refused, and then threw a wooden stake through my bike wheels. After that, when I rode by, they'd make noises and mock me.

Now, after being in jail, I know how to be "tough" a bit better. So one thing I do, I have trouble with eye contact, but what I learned to do was "eye contact checks." Basically, every male you see, challenge them with eye contact, and see who looks away first. Go in the mirror and practice a bit, too, at making a menacing face, and sorta remember it. I've found eye contact checks to be quite helpful, though. I basically only make eye contact with males, as females it's pretty impolite to stare them down. But males, stare them down all you wish. If it's someone that looks shy, etc, be respectful and don't do it to them, but for people who look like potential threats, look them in the eyes until they look away.

The other thing, too, posture. Having good posture makes you look stronger and tougher. If you got bad posture, again, people will assume you're weak. After that, try to get stronger and gain some muscle. I learned a lot more assertiveness in jail, though. Basically, the only like, social filters I got are really simple. I basically only have the capability to go "Does he disrespect me." I can only see things in people respecting me or disrespecting me, due to being in jail. I basically can only analyze people's actions and go "he respects me/disrespects me for ____ reasons."

But, as for those kids, you have to obviously pick your battles. It probably wouldn't have been worth it for you to go to battle with those kids. I have a theory that autistic "bluntness" makes the world really scared of us. Bluntness is basically a cousin of "assertiveness" so once you get toughness plus bluntness, you're unstoppable. I think the world sees that and wants to cut us down, as they sorta know how much potential we have. I remember once, my neighbor's friend called me a fag or something when I wasn't looking, and I just was like "What did you say?" And he was just like "Oh, nothing." I then was like "No really, what did you say?" and he seemed to sorta get scared at that point, and I don't remember much from him after that.

But really, though, don't like, stab them or anything like that. God still loves you. At best, if they come at you, just have a regular fight. Trust me, having been to jail, it's pretty not fun, and any experience like this on the outside is complete cake to what you WILL encounter in jail. But usually, people are cowards if they're confronted directly about their actions. If you were just to walk up to them after finding them, and just calmly go "So you're the ones who shouted at me while I was walking, huh?" they'll likely apologize. Besides, even if you do absolutely nothing, if there's a weapon involved, you're automatically at fault.

But really, don't worry about it. They're teenagers. You really should move to a more civilized country again, though, like, I don't know, Zimbabwe, haha.

The funniest one I saw was when I was in high school. Near the high school I went to was a bridge you had to walk across but the bridge was near an intersection. Some guys from school called a girl a whore as she was walking home but when they got to the bridge they got stopped in the middle of the bridge when the red light went off trapping them in a traffic que the girl ran up to the car and wrote in big pink letters p*****s with her lipstick across the side of their car then ran off. There was about thirty kids walking home from school everyone was laughing their asses off. I would have tore off their antenna or kicked off a side mirror.

They just sat there in their car with dumb looks on there halfwit faces as she was writing it.

I've dealt with this kind of behavior too. It's always I'm walking and minding my own business and then someone decides to honk at me and/or curse me out and/or say something that comes off as incoherent for no reason. It does piss me off every time it happens to. The most I do about it have a meltdown. This thread does make me feel better because I've dealt with the same thing and reading about how some posters got even. I should mention I've had a bottle thrown at me once (I'm figuring it was some guy who hated me decided to fling a bottle at me for no reason -- thankfully, I didn't get hurt), and then I remember some stupid kids on their bikes passing me and thought it was funny to scare me by randomly yell at me. Also, a few times I'd had people shouting "RUN RUN RUN!" when I'm running across a street because I didn't want to wait at the center of the street to finish crossing and the don't walk sign is flashing.

I wouldn't sweat it too much, this exact thing has happened to me a bunch of times. Some people are just jerks and it's pretty pointless to get upset about it. I've actuallly have gotten drive by compliments too. People just like yelling stuff out of cars.

Well I was outside in the park waiting in my car with my 2 huge knives and I am wearing all black and a beanie. I didn't see those idiots after a good hour or so, but I did see another car full of idiots drive by and the girl driving said "Hi" and that was it and she still seemed annoying to me so I responded with: "You are fa***ts!" I think most of the houses on the street could hear through their windows. I said it so loud. I am a singer so I can yell really effing loud. Even one of my friends told me your voice is louder than anyone else I know when you are yelling. As I was walking home from my car the same car turned around and I was standing on the corner and as they turned the corner I flipped them off and I know at least 2 of them or more saw me, but they didn't do jack s**t, they just kept driving away. If they got out of their car and tried to do something, I would have stabbed them where they stood.
