hey what if the driver was a real bad guy

It's possible the driver is a bad guy. But, at the same time you can't back down from a bully. Can never let a bully win.

Previous poster who said they mocked someone yelling at them is hilarious. I did that a few years ago - it's great, because it doesn't even address the issue. Just basically tells them to fuck off.

I used to walk my little junk yard dog on a leash. Often someones dog would be off leash and bound up to my dog. The owner would always say; "Don't worry MY dog doesn't bite". I'd always assure them, to not worry but my dog DOES bite. That little dog sure liked tearing up bigger dogs. Sneaky little dog he wouldn't make any fuss until he was in biting range. Oh well, sorry about that.
Sounds like the Porsche guy had the same attitude.

Thanx, Russ

My 110# shephard lab mix was a pussy. Got attacked twice by little dogs off leash. There is a dynamic between leashed and unleashed dogs. I split a lip fighting an unleashed dog off mine.

who chuckled at this?


anyway, i was yelled at in a similar manner today involving dogs... but all the person could muster up was (say it in the super high picthed/constipated mexican accent) "fuck you, you, you, fawking, you and yoouurrr mum." all because my dog was off her leash just like every other well mannered dog was at garin park and her dog was going crazy trying to attack mine... of course my very sweet well cultured dog tried saying hi to the dog but she realized it was an asshole so just stayed out of range and stared at the dog like one would if a hippo have a seizure.

of course the family keep curising at me "you, you fucking you" was all the could say, so i laughed and said your an idiot, and idgaf if my dog is off a leash it is less of a threat than your pos is on a leash. and if your dog cannot be controled on a leash than you shouldnt bring it out in public till it can. than of course the got more mad and the fucks and yous got louder so i did my best to imitate them which made them more upset :rofl

i know i know cool story bro, but it was really funny.

So, you are beaking the law and they are they fuckheads huh? You are just as special as the Porsche Owner, who thinks they are above the rules. I bet your kids are better than everyone else's as well. Shit probably doesn't stink either, huh?

Keep in mind, it is easy to kill a dog. It your dog comes up to someone and you can't get it away from them immediately, they are within their right to kill it. If your dog was sweet and well mannered you would have asked the owner before you allowed your dog to go over. :wow

BTW Russ, it took me a little while to figure it out, but the only thing that would work to get unleashed dogs under control was to answer the "My dogs are friendly" with "Mine isn't" with a panicked voice.
 
I think it's awesome that you rode your bike to the ballet!
I also think it's awesome that you handled the absolute douchebag in the Porsche the way you did... you kept your head, you didn't escalate, and you took an action that got rid of him while keeping you safe. Awesome! I don't think I would have handled it nearly as well!
 
I think it is funny how the dynamics of the story changed when I realized the OP was a Lady and not a Man.

I remember when KKTucker first began posting. She mentioned suffering a tweaked knee (I think) after a nighttime accident on 101.

KKTucker, I'd like to see that asshole's Porsche too. If both your phone and computer are bluetooth capable, try sending the pictures to your computer. You will not incur any cell time use by doing so. Just open the pic, choose send under options, let the bluetooth on your phone find your computer, and click send.

And good on you for standing your ground and getting the better of that asshole! :thumbup

The pix are in my new phone, and I don't happen to have a way to download them just yet. USB cable is in the mail as I write.

E-mail the pics to yourself then DL to desktop & upload to BARF......


ps, I would have heal stomped his door.
 
This tale has put a big fat smile on my face. Good job, OP!


Cameras are awesome. The other day I was a few yards from a collision on New Montgomery street-- one driver hauled out of her car by helpful bystanders, in a lot of pain and having trouble breathing, airbag smoke everywhere, etc. I didn't see the impact, but from the position of the vehicles it was pretty clear the other car had tried to make a turn into an alley from the wrong lane and pulled right in front of her.

I got out my cellphone to take some pics and was wondering if the damage was severe enough to keep the bad turner car from potentially escaping, when another student came up with a nice digital camera and started taking pictures of the scenario from all angles. Boy, did the bad turn driver not like THAT. She got really irate, but when she started in on him he just said "I'm doing this for that lady over there on the ground, because she can't speak up for herself right now. This is a public street, and you can't stop me."
 
You sound like a classy lady the way you handled the situation... I'm willing to bet this d-bag would of taken a different course of action if the person on bike looked a bit more intimidating. I'm looking forward to seeing some pics as well =]
 
Oh my goodness. Pictures. Yes. Coming soon to a BARF page near you!

A check of the shipping tracking shows that the needed usb cable is in my town, and may very well be delivered to my mailbox today! As soon as I get it I'll download the pics and post them up. Patience, young padwan. ;)

I don't want to email them to myself because I don't have a data plan, so I have to pay for each KB sent, and I'm cheap. Sadly, my computer is not equipped with bluetooth, so that's not an option, either.

Last night at dinner with friends we went over some of the "what if's," most notably, what if he'd pulled a gun? That's easy. I'd have run away so fast, right towards the guards at the Opera House stage door, screaming the whole way. I'm not sticking around for that sh*t, that's for sure.

If he had actually gone ahead and run into the bike (instead of stopping just shy of contact), the phone and camera would have come out a lot sooner, and I'd be telling my story to the SFPD, not on BARF.

I'm not really a "kick the door" kind of person; I wasn't out looking for a fight. I was making a very mild point about motorcycle only parking. My friend last night said that if I did actually have to defend myself physically against this guy, I probably would have been apologizing for hurting him while pinning him mercilessly to the pavement. :laughing

I wouldn't have pulled in as close if the Porsche hadn't had more than enough room to back out. Mr. Porsche I-Don't-Back-Up-For-Anyone created the rest of the drama all by himself. Any normal person would have apologized for blocking the spots, backed up, and left.

I guess that when you stop being the world's doormat, stuff like this can happen.

Methinks you handled it just fine. :thumbup
 
To the OP, I gotta say that you sure handled the situation well. If I were in the same situation, the idea of getting a camera out totally wouldn't have crossed my mind at all.
