TL:DR Automatic car wash. The man in the suv behind me never got out of his car and there was no incident besides me saying "the screen's not working" and him responding with honking and belligerence. A friendly reminder that we may need find ourselves in unexpected and frankly completely unnecessary scenarios anyday, anytime, anywhere with aggressors that just want their $10 car wash :30 seconds faster. I was not ccw at the time, but realized that the moment the honking started. I usually carry ccw or oc spray at a minimum, and this example makes me reconsider changing "usually" to "always, " where legally allowed.Simple & highly unnceccesary scenario occurred on one of my latest quick trips. Go to a car wash. Car wash screen doesn't work. Middle-aged man in a SUV zooms in behind me, realizes I am not moving forward, and starts honking and yelling out his window. Throughout the total of maybe 20-30 seconds of waiting before the attendant arrives to help with the screen, he refuses to back up to move to the next lane over, effectively preventing me from moving out of his way without driving through the gate. The attendant then comes over and pushes the button to force the gate open to let me pull through and to the side out of the way. I'm assuming the irate man is one of the unlimited wash members that just drives through all the time without having to stop at the screen, because he then proceeds to zoom through yelling expletives out his window and flipping the bird. The attendant manually takes my order for a wash and walks back to the working lane to punch it in, then returns with a receipt. via /r/CCW https://ift.tt/3qxILda
