You've gotta be kidding me!

Wow! i dont even know where to start. I driving jsut around the corner to pick up something from 7-11, when a raised truck almost ran the mini and me over. Guy sped around me and I caught up to him at the light. I told him off (Had to open my sunroof too see him) He then called me some names, threw his cell phone at me (which I deflected into the backseat) Then he ran the redlight and sped away. I seriously dont believe that this just happend. I should have called the cops on him. Anyways he threw a motorola V3c razr phone at me. Too bad its Verizon or I could have used it. haha Anyone wanna phone?

Maybe you should start calling random numbers on the phone for the next few hours ?

You could have some serious fun

Call the National Institute of Standards and Technology shortwave current time simulcast at (303) 499-7111 and leave it on until he disconnects the phone from Verizon.

That'll learn him!

I tried to use the phone it was already shut off. Im not sure how verison phones work. The phone could be stolen, because when I opened the back plate it was missing the serial numbers. Unless it had come off ? Idk

telling him off was your mistake. You cannot teach an idiot anything, and you'll only endanger yourself trying. These days, when it is obvious that someone is going to cut me off, I just make room for them since they are going to take the space whether I give it to them or not. Anyone whose life sucks so bad that they get angry with strangers ifor nothing is not worth my time.

But nice score on the phone. But since it is probably stolen, you should just throw it away rather than try to do anything with it.

Can you just take a SIM card out? Dang, you should have called some 900 numbers immediately! LOL I can't believe he threw a phone at you.

yup, I agree with stolen. No way the serial numbers would come off by themselves.

HAHAHAHA!!! No she would have thrown her assistant at me. As for the phone I just placed it in my desk drawer. Who knows where the idiot got it from. His truck was really nice, maybe he didnt steal it. But then again rich people steal too!

Actually I'm not quite sure what they say about guys in raised trucks... ^But that may be it, they probably like to sit on bar stools.

Agreed. If there is one thing that is always worse than an idiot behind the wheel, it is an idiot that is mad at you in particular.

Wanted to weigh in on Yucca Patrol's advice. I've seen too many instances where a road rage incident gets out of control when all someone needed to do is walk/drive away. It's tough to do - especially when you're on the receiving end of someone's tirade - but try to remember it's not worth getting yourself or your car banged up (or worse) by letting some jerk yank your chain.

If I knew for certain it was his cell phone, I'd be a total **** and call in a bomb threat or some other heinous activity on his number. The authorities would be all over him in no time. Just dont call from your own residence, since the phone can be 'located'. After doing your dirty work, shut the phone off and wait for the news reports.
