Punched a window
Was at the head of traffic at a red light. I normally keep an eye on the mirrors so I saw the cab getting uncomfortably close. He wasn't coming at speed, just creeping along. So I turned fully around to stare at the cabbie for about 8 seconds. I turn my head back to check the traffic light / flow...
And suddenly have the front of the cab at my hip. He pulls completely even with me at the head of traffic, splitting my lane. I know he's going to do something really stupid when it goes green, aka try to beat me off the line. So I punch the **** out of his window with my throttle hand. He rolls down the window and asks "WTH?". And I lay into him yelling "WTF?", "WTH are you doing in my lane?" and "Do you want me to pull you outta that ****ing cage by your teeth?".
When the light turned green, he decided to let me go ahead. Then nobody in either lane would let him merge into traffic. The pedestrians (a lot since I was in the middle of campus) had a great laugh too

Scaring the **** outta him was better than me getting a claim on my insurance and charges for assault / destruction of private property.
Of all the cagers I loathe, cabbies here in Philadelphia are the worst. They are far, far more dangerous that the ditziest teenager trying to facebook on an iPad while driving. Because at least the teenager has the iPad as a distraction for an excuse for their wreckless driving.
The cabbies here will stop dead, pull across 3 lanes of traffic and even go the wrong way down a 1 way street for a fare.

I'm going with you punch like a girl.
That being said it was a pretty stupid thing to do. Its quit easy for someone in a car to just run your *** over for punching their window... Just saying

The Eagles just suck.
But if you're a Texans fan Rojer - I hate you. I was at the Skins game last weekend. Horrible. Absolutely horrible.
And if you're a Dallas fan - well I hate you even more.

When I grew up the Oilers left us and with the Cowboys winning it was hard not to like them if you lived in Texas but it sure feels great to talk junk to real cowgirl fans about the BEATDOWN we are going to give them this weekend at home.
Don't the cabbies road rage there? Here they are bad drivers too. Its the rig workers in their jacked up and chipped deisel 4x4 trucks that try to drive them as if they were in the chase. I might fly over a cab, but these things are tall. And they are everywhere.
