Made the idiot look bad

I sometimes find a safe place to park and sip a soda in my car and listen to the radio. Usually it’s a fast food joint parking lot but sometimes I go to the community center near my house. It had a lake and an old house with a museum and it’s where the senior center is.

I found out awhile ago that when you park in a parking lot, even if I’m not causing any trouble and just sipping a Diet Coke that there’s a certain faction of people who look for people like me and they will slowly drive by circling the parking lot maybe 10 or 20 times. They’re just looking for trouble and they try their best to scare me.

I notice a lot of times it’s a teenage girl with some guy in the passenger seat. They either pretend they’re innocent and not doing anything or they want attention. I hate these people and I’ll stare at them the 20th time around or try to scare them.

Sometimes they just go away, sometime I will go away. It happened today. I was minding my own business and they started. And once again it was a teenage girl with a guy in the passenger seat. I hate them because they wreck my serenity. I try to ignore them but it’s hard to ignore two potentially dangerous people circling all around you when you know you’re their target. So this van starts circling slowly.

It obviously makes me mad and I got fed up and flipped them both off. They circled to the far end of the parking lot and I knew they were going to make another run at me. So I got tired of it and gunned my car and drove 30 feet straight at them and pulled up next to the driver. I just sat there staring. I obviously don’t go around starting fights ever but I was sick of this and the girl looked totally surprised. I think I shocked her. We locked eyes and then she drove off.

It was a small incident but it was very satisfying. I don’t normally do stuff like that but I was tired of being the victim of two idiots. I hope I scared them and I hope they felt like the idiots they were.

I don’t think people do that to bother you @77nick77

Not a great idea to confront someone in an empty parking lot. You don’t want someone to pull a gun on you or ram into your car or something.

Also, these people have no specific interest in you. Who knows why they were driving around in circles in the parking lot. Maybe the driver was practicing for drivers ed? There could be any number of reasons that have nothing to do with you.

I could have been wrong. I could have been right. It’s happened too often for me to be wrong all the time.

dude you’re reacting to your paranoia…if you don’t like what they do, don’t park in a parking lot…what’s wrong with having your drink on a bench in a park??

Your mad because someone is driving around in a parking lot?

Whether you think someones going out of there way to spend money on gas and time slowly driving around a parking lot 20 times or not, Your kinda asking for trouble doing stuff like that man.

I say take it easy and just drink your pop at the park or something

Keep your cool. They could get your license # or something and report you or something. I think you were working on anger issues before. Stay safe.

This just sounds like symptoms from schizophrenia tbh.

Sorry that you’re dealing with this.

Drivers ed would make sense since he always sees teenage girls with a guy who might be an instructor. Maybe they practice there.

Honestly Nick you could have gotten hurt or even killed.
That was not a wise thing you did by flipping them off and charging your car towards them.
I would contact your pdoc and have your meds adjusted.
No one is out to get you.
It’s your illness talking
