Was riding home from work today, and comming across a two-lane bridge into my neighborhood (bridge is an old type, think rail-road with pedestrians on one side fenced off from traffic) and theres these two teen walking opposite of me. I'm behind a slower car, doing about 15-20 or so, and as I am passing these kids, one of emhocks a loogie up and at me, and I hear his buddy giggle like its cool. The loogie missed me by about a foot in front of me but I can't believe some punk would just spit at a dude for nothing? So, I'm super pissed. I get to the end of the bridge and there is a parking lot I can turn around in, he was on a one-way sidewalk, was thinking about jamming to the end of the bridge I just came from, parking the bike and walking his way to see whats so cool about spitting on people and see if I can get his buddy to laugh while I kick the **** out of them, but...........a cool head prevailed, I thought, what the hell, I am gonna go down there, stomp those guys a new ***-hole, have some tree-hugger call the cops on me, get arrested, and for what? Was hard not to do just that. I mean, what can you do within reason, call the cops, hey this dude spit at me???? C'mon. My luck they would have been 15 or something and I'd get some crazy assault charge about how I chased them down on my bike. But really, what the hell are folks thinking nowadays, I hate to sound old, but if I did that as a teen, the dude wouldn't have to come around to get me, someone watching would beat my ***. I'm a pretty cool headed guy, you can talk all the smack you want yadda yadda yadda, I don't care, whatever, but spitting on someone is about as low as it gets and is in full deserving of an ***-whoopin. I dunno, the whole thing just pissed me off, probably some kid that didn't have a dad to beat his *** and teach him some manners and a mom that doesn't care.......what would you do? If it were a quite part of town with no-one around, I think it would have been different, glad it wasn't kinda.

 

You should have at least yelled at him. But its good you kept your cool.

 

Its been estiablished on this forum multiple times that the cops wouldnt have done anything. You shoulda beat his ***.

 

^^^ Such a well founded argument.

You showed extreme cool, Troop. I am not certain I could have withstood the temptation.

 

simply turning around would prolly had the m crapping their drawers n running for the hills. lol

 

I was thinking that if it hit me, I could have turned around, waited for them at the end of the walk-way and "politely" asked them to clean it off.

 

*****!!! I don't know which way that sarcasm was intended but it was funny as hell.

That's effd Shock. I probably would have looked a fool because I would have stopped, yelled at them like a Vietnam vet and then left when I realized they were 15. They would have laughed harder.

Here's an interesting question though,

What would you have done if it hit your visor...

Nevermind, I don't need an answer

 

Well I guess only tough guys spit

Right on for keeping your cool like you said it could of got real ugly with the legal system.

 

Glad you kept your cool. Sometimes no reaction is better then a reaction. A lot of people do things like this to encourage reactions and get pissed when no one reacts.
Although stopping for a quick *** kicking would have felt better lol.

 

I don't think they'd have stuck around long enough to find out what you wanted to say to them had you gone towards them....If I was some punk *** kid and a dude dressed like me in a leather jacket, big *** boots, mirrored visor helmet and carbon fiber knuckle re-inforced gloves came walking towards me after I spit at him, I wouldn't assume he had kind words to say.
