Thank God this happens to someone else. Not that I'm happy that it HAPPENED to you or your son, but I swear it, I always get these f*ckin' idiots, and according to people in OPINIONS, I'm the only one. At least you have just shown other people, that this happens OUT OF THE BLUE. I'm serious about this. Every asshole with an attitude seems to play road rage and other half-wit asshole games with me, and with my huge 135lbs of bulk, about the only thing I'm good for, is running. I literally do nothing to prompt it, but people PERCIEVE things as being offensive. Usually they are the rough-and-tumble, (*ugh*) "hard-drinkin', hard livin'" types, who feel that they somehow have been dished the short end of life's stick at every turn. You can just tell.

I think, it is just Volvo in general. I never had this problem driving anything else but Audis (another magnet). Step into a Taurus or an Impala for a few months, and you'll notice the conspicuous absence of assholes and idiots. Unfortunately there isn't anything I can do about it, as a private citizen, and the cops here don't take that kind of bullshit seriously at ALL. At least you COULD do something about it.

Good thing you didn't chuck your badge a few months ago!

I think it's something about the northern Midwest, personally. Milwaukee is the same collection of belligerant, stupid idiots. Chicago seems to be a lot better in that respect, but once you hit northern Lake and McHenry counties... it all goes down the toilet. Funny thing, if the Saab is new, it's usually driven by professionals and other people who are too busy to be pricks to society. However, if it's old, somehow it becomes the bane of traffic's existence. Usually piloted by someone stuck in the self-indulgent 80s, and packing a ton of attitude to illustrate it.

Honestly, I don't know what the problem is. And the scary thing is, these people have jobs, and some of them have good jobs. Amazing, that they are even tolerated in society with attitudes like that... but they are. Kind of like my drunk employee who just doesn't show up when he feels like it.

Also, thank your son on the part of DECENT society for kicking the guy's ass. I hope he knocked the guy's ass around for that one. You ought to sue.
