As they were backing out, another car came from the other direction. I rolled on up and took the spot. As I got out, the other car pulled up next to me and yelled something about the spot. I gave them a look that said, "Whatever" and he yelled something about me being a chump. I just about lost my shizzle. I stopped, looked at them, and gave them my "Excuse me?" look.
I experienced a strong impulse to walk over to his door and actually say, "Excuse me?" in a tone laden with "take that back or eat your teeth." I felt like there was a gallon of adrenaline coursing through my veins. This guy was obviously a try-hard gangsta trying to prove something to his passenger.
I started walking again, when the car I had been waiting for and one two stalls down started backing out. So I gestured to those cars like a magician. Ta-da, asswipe.
This is really unusual for me. Historically, I'd have just bowed my head and gone into the store like prey. Instead, I held my head high, and came out of the store with my hand on my EDC in case he wanted to make something of it. Stage 3 has something powerful going on, because I felt like HULK SMASH! for about 45 minutes.
I was very aggressive with people in Stage 2 and 3. Had more than one experience where people were getting in my way and I put the fear of death in them. Sometimes just with a look and sometimes the look was seen by people who had nothing to do with it and they looked like they were ready to run for cover LOL. Oh the good ole days.
It took me about 000000.2 seconds for me to react to BS.
