good question

as a messanger, i deal with a lot of stupidity and basic negligence on the road every day. the sheer volume of it makes which situations you actually let the driver know theyre being a fuck rather sparse.

ive slapped.tapped the back of cars on my way past them if theyve done something really dumb. havent spit on anything yet. the finger is always good... and though i havent ever used my little kryptonite to smash something, it really is burning a hole in my pocket. some days more than others.

I keep a huge nut (as in nut and bolt) that I found on the street pushed onto the end of my handle bar. This makes for quick and easy access. It's reserved only for those incidents in which my life is threatened and death is averted by my ingenuity only. I have no problem with property damage and I figure I can make my point best if I hit them where it really hurts - their sacred little bank accounts.

Paintball guns. Spark plugs to shatter glass. Memories!

I was having this conversation, and I think it is more important to swallow my pride and stay focused on not crashing into another bike or the bus, so I just take a breath, and continue on. If I so happen to come up to someone, I will scream out BIKE LANE or otherwise try to make sure they do see that a BIKE is an ant to their tanks.

In all, I focus on me, as it doesn't matter if they do or don't ride right, its my own way. Also, I do curse them to death. None has worked so far, I think I need to start using chicken hearts in my curses. Dammit.
