    I probably would have tailed her for as long as I possibly could. Road rage.

    I would have probably given them a good spanking if they were my kids.

    You should have pushed her our into oncoming traffic so neither her nor her little satanic progeny could bother you or anyone else ever again. Graaah!! :mad::mad::confused:

    Or, you know, do nothing and move on with your life.

    I think you have the problem, not the driver of the car or kids. It upset you enough to start a thread about it on a basketball message board from your cell phone while at work, think about that.

    You should have laughed about it, got on with your day and started actually working when you showed up at work.

    This is, assuming there was actual work to be done, which there wasn't. Also, I stated that I did nothing, and I started the thread because it was a funny story and I wanted to start a discussion on what others would have done. That's kind of the point of the hangout portion of this forum.

    I figured I'd get some funny answers. I did.

    I live in Pennsylvania. It's not a primary offense, but if you want to be technical, the fact the her kids were unrestrained would probably had led her to be ticketed for both.

    In reality there isn't much you could have done, the mom is
    still going to continue being a bad parent and the kids are still
    going to grow up being in trouble with the law.

    What I would of done is tried to teach those brats a lesson, which
    is easily done with the use of a little fear tactic! At all times you
    must keep a scary mask readily available in your car and quickly
    put it on when they are not looking!
    This usually leads to the kids
    pooping in their pants and the parent having to take care of the mess!!


    Here's my mask..........:eek:

    If they were my kids? I would've beat them.

    If I was in your position? I would've beat them.

    I don't know. Sometimes I don't care how ****ty people are and live and let live, but if this was around your neighborhood, you might want to take photos and the license plate while you're properly stopped.

    Could get you in trouble if driving and texting is illegal, but anonymous tips are cool too.

    Pretty selfish way of looking at it. You don't know if she's a single mom working two or three jobs just trying to hold it together. She's probably trying her hardest but the father who should be disciplining those kids is a deadbeat. And you want to punish *her*? Not cool, man.

    Honestly, I probably would have snapped a quick picture of the kids flipping me off, come up with a hilarious remark, then posted it on Facebook for some cheap laughs.

    Should've waved a pistol outside the window ala Vernon Maxwell.
