First rule of Soap lake...This one time in Soap Lake....
Pink Nighty
Legend
I was recently the perpetrator of some ass-hattery on the skagit where unknowingly left my truck parked in the middle of a launch all day. I was informed by a coveralled gentleman in a jet sled that "some asshole parked in the middle of the baker launch" and immediately feared the worst. I imagined slashed tires, a good ol boy towjob to parts unknown, ambush.... I was let off the hook with a bed full of trash and a hard time from the guys at the launch.
There was a 5 minute stretch there after moving my truck where I couldnt find my keys or my shoes and was becoming increasingly convinced that the guys at the launch had decided to give one more lesson. I had just about resigned to begging for mercy when I found them in my backseat. It would have been cold blooded of them but in the moment I felt I deserved it.
Anyways, sounds like those guys were jerks but sometimes people are just stupid!

Life of the Party
I know I ranch owner in California that got fed up with Mt Bikers parking their vehicles on his private road. He eventually took too deflating one tire (with a small pebble underneath the valve cap). He referred to this as a "parking ticket". Word got out petty quickly, and the problem went away. He was even mentioned (not favorably) in a Mt Biking guide book. He liked that.

Everyone's heard by now about the Fun Girls from Soap Lake.This one time in Soap Lake....
Carry same unit in our vehicles. (Should get a valve stem kit as well) Sorta worry it's an enticement for a vehicle break-in because it's hard to hide a large bright yellow object in my pickup....but then I remember the day some methhead busted my driver's side window to steal a plain black cordura garbage sack full of garbage. Broad daylight and the door wasn't locked...fucking regular dirtbag Einstein.
I've also had a fair number of folks leave their vehicles parked in the middle of the boat launch access on the small remote lakes I fish...but the lakes are so small that the offending party can see the problem and paddle back at warp speed to apologize and move their vehicle.
I am pretty good at keeping my anger under control, and would never consider letting the air out of someone's tires out in the sticks...tampering with someone's vehicle could easily trigger a deadly confrontation.
One remote lake I fish had a double homicide a few years back over a simple parking dispute. The idiots killed each other.
Hell...last night in Spokane someone was shot in a Nom Nom over a stupid argument at a gas pump. There are plenty of nuts carrying firearms out there.

What is a Nom Nom?

Dave
Outfit that is buying up all the 7-11s. Big convenience stores...competing with Maverik in our area.
I think the name mimics the sound that fat-ass Americans make when ingesting roller dogs, jerky mystery meat, Doritos, shitty high gravity beer, and sugary soft drinks.

1/4 pound big bite 7-11..........best hot dog around...!!
Yeah...I can't resist the 'lips, assholes, and miscellaneous slaughter house floor sweepings tube steaks' either.
eight billion people on a shrinking rock, percentage of them with "brains squirming like a toad"...in the 90's I honked and flipped off another commuter who cut suddenly in front of me, causing me to lock up the brakes. At the next stoplight on what was a two lane one-way blvd, when I pulled up next to him with rolled down window ready to give him an earful, he jumped out of his car and leveled a semi-auto at me on the top of his roof, screaming 'you wanna fuck with me?"
I punched it through the red light, narrowly missed getting T-Boned, and from that point forward have done my best to keep all perceived grievances in check, cause it's just too damn easy for shit to go from zero to red-lined these days.

Road rage can be a problem. A while ago, I saw a bumper sticker on a car “The closer you get, the slower I go.” Where it is safe to do so and they have a chance to pass safely, I slowly reduce my speed and they eventually go around me. A lot less stressful and more likely to avoid conflicts like you describe.
I cured any temptation I have of getting mad enough to flip off other drivers. I have a hard to forget personalized license plate that says, go figure, Bobduck. I won't even flip off little old ladies. I'm not the slowest guy in the world but I'm working on it.
Yup, I learned my lesson when I was 18-19 years old. Flipped off a car that was driving like crazy. Dude pulled up behind me at the next red light, got out and approached my rolled down window. He looked just like Danny Trejo. Long black ponytail, tattoos all over and definitely not someone to mess with. He told me that he didn’t want to go back to prison as he leaned into my window. He let me go on my way, thankfully. I can’t say that I fully learned my lesson that day but it gave me something to think about. Road rage = not worth it.
