I just got done cruising around in the cobra and I turn into my neighborhood . I'm driving through and a man had his sprinkler spraying the whole street. I try to time it up and make it through. I do and I see the dude outside taking his kids from the car. I pull over, turn the car off and step out. I stay at the street and ask him (kindly) sir..sir, he turns around and says what.
Me..Sir can you please turn your sprinkler down its spraying the whole street.
Him...who cares
Me..I do sir, as you can see i try to keep my car clean and would appreciate it if you could just turn it down.
him..I don't give a **** now get the**** out of my neighborhood anyone who is that obsessed with cleaning there car is full of shit. Now get that piece of shit out of here (this guy drives a rusted out dodge Dakota...)
Me..ok asshole I do care about my car so if you could turn it down and stop being a dumbass.
Him..Get the **** out of here
Me(i realize this is going nowhere) OK buddy real mature...
I get back In my car start it and the man comes running towards my car..
Him..Get the **** out of here or I will beat your ****ing face in.
Me..sir was that a threat?
Him..yea it was asshole
Me..OK I wrote it down
I call the sheriff and just want to make sure this dude isn't ganna hurt my car and or try to throw down. I wasn't looking to get the dude in trouble or anything just to get it on file for the future.
Well the sheriff comes back and said he felt threatened by me because (I was a big guy, he didn't know who I was, and he had his kids(i understood this) but who in there right mind curses and says there ganna beat my ****in face in front of there kids?? Over turning their sprinkler down mind you. The sheriff asked the guy if I was rude or had an aggressive tone and the guys says no he didn't...
I can see where he was being protective of his kids but I didn't enter his property and I was courteous.
I shit you not this guy flipped out over me asking to turn his sprinkler down. If someone asked me in a cobra or any car for that matter to turn my sprinkler down or blow the street off after I mow (which I do) I would have no problem.
The sheriff said the guys said it is water under the bridge and he will leave me alone.
Thought I would share my Friday night...
