it used to bug me when other drivers have to be @$$hole behind the wheel, so i tend to flip the bird more often then i wish too. now i just let them be and just drive the way you're suppose to drive. birdie get flipped once in a while. at this point in life, i dont let things bother me, especailly stupid petty $h*t, because you never know if your're going to staring down a barrel of a gun.

my commute and where i'm working, i'm dealing with a very diverse multi cultured and a strong religious group that is taking over ( and destroying ) the town create a whole different driving environment. its is so bad and utterly crazy how people drive in town. these people are just driving recklessly and dont care about other people but themselves. yeah its that bad and even worse then the city. its not just cars. its the cabbies, school buses, religious emergence personals, etc. thats just to name a few.

I’ve had way too much violence in my life to be triggered, and I’m “old” and carry a gun, with 30 years Army, 15 years high risk security and executive protection (including overseas), hundreds of fights, including deadly weapons, and over forty years martial arts training and teaching.. Anybody can say anything to me, and I just smile. I have no need to go there anymore, unless forced to..

It's definitely NOT a Jeep thing. haha

I have found that people seem to leave Jeeps alone. It's like the only vehicle that you don't even have to worry about locking the doors... as a lot of us go door-less. I feel like cops even just leaves us alone.

That was just an one-off incident...although, there are way too many crazy people out there.

The Jeep community is great!

I've noticed a lot of hostility so far 6 months into being a Jeeper. Never had anything like it driving my Camaro. Today she (tiny hatchback) actively tried running me off the road, break checking and even driving on the wrong side of the road to do so. All because she was asleep at the green light and I lightly honked. Even worse it was near/in my neighborhood so I had to park around the back of my house.

Is this just a thing?

I had a van tru dashcam in my Camaro that now I'm trying to figure out the easiest way to install it in my Jeep. Tips and tricks?
Sorry you had to experience a Karen in your JL or anywhere else for that matter. They are everywhere...there isn’t a day that goes by that I don’t experience a new Karens gone wild video on social media. But I assure you, it’s not a Jeep thing. It’s a rude, inconsiderate, asshole thing in general. Glad you have a dashcam, though. I started that trend when I bought my Toyota Tacoma a few year back and continued it when I bought the Rubicon last year.

Ha, now that’s a humble brag, ok maybe not so humble.

He didn’t tell you that after he would put them face down in a fight, he would keep his palms facing upward and use his middle fingers only to jiggle the fatty portion of their lower butt cheeks.

For @Wabujitsu, doing so would not only ensure their defeat butt (pun intended) complete humiliation.

In some forms of dirty street fighting, this humiliation technique is called corRECTUM. :CWL:

George, it’s not about humility or lack of humility. I hate fighting. I’m just very good at it, and made lots of money doing it. I resolved hundreds more violent confrontations WITHOUT violence, because I have no ego in play. That’s far preferable to fighting.

My intent was to impart some wisdom based on experience. The reason why folks are triggered is EGO, which isn’t very humble. I am not triggered, because I have no ego in play. I KNOW there are a billion untrained people who can beat my ass.

Kevin, I know you’re just teasing me in good fun. But I have to say, humiliating your opponent is not a good thing,

Ueshiba, the founder of Aikido, stated that to resort to physical technique is a FAILURE on your part. But, if you fail, “lovingly” teach your opponent the error of his ways. I only studied Aikido for four years. I’m predominantly a jujutsu/judo/BJJ guy. “Love” is not part of those philosophies, but what Ueshiba said does have a wholesome ring to it.

The best fight is the one that doesn’t happen. Mouths get people into trouble and can also get people out of trouble.

And yes, too have been in more fights than I care for.

You’re completely right! I say these things in jest.

Emotions in a fight blind and distract the thinking mind. Humiliation is an emotion and emotions should never enter a fight. Calm, clear and cooler heads always prevail.

The move that I described is complete bullshit, is funny to imagine but in reality is sexual assault and a horrible violation of an individual’s rights. The long and short of it is, it’s a very bad thing and should never be implemented.

If someone has an opportunity to walk away from a fight, that is the better course of action.

Just want you to know brother, I did get a chuckle out of your post. I know you were writing in jest. Peace.
