I am sure that many have been so pissed off they wished someone dead, or threatened someone, or wished bad on them. However, what keeps most from acting on them is not good or evil. It is an appreciation, or fear, of the consequences.
However, if there were no consequences, you would have a different ballgame.

Now I am back home. During short trip, I 've got in small verbal conflict with cab driver that was shouting something to me probably because I've came in front of him,even if it was my street and he had to wait because he was getting in main street.(sorry, my english is not good enough so I can use proper expressions) So ,he was evil, regarding my opinion, wanted something that don't belong to him. Ok, I've told him to suck cock because he is fat as pig, but, only few hundred meter later, 4 lanes, green light for me, no place for pedestrians to walk,and some guy started running in front of me. I had to push break, and I 've started pushing horn when I saw him coming and running....and what happened next? Guy started shouting at me. ...I am driving convertible so I've heard him very well. I've slowed down and gave him few bad words, but he started runnning for me to fight. As I was already nervous enough , this just came as I 've expected in my previous post (when I was sitting in car and typing), so instinctively, I've found nearest spot to leave car (15 meters from scene)and I've parked there and leaved engine running (I was sober enough to have escape plan in case of serious mess, so I even parked in that way that I can resume driving without making any manouvers). So..guys is still running toward me, and taking his shirt off (yeah, just like in those youtube street fight videos). In these short moments he threw his t-shirt on my trunk when I've pushed him back from car. So, I've runned out of car toward him but suddenly he started moving back. I guess he wasn't expecting my reaction and thought that I was leaving in moment when I was looking to place to stop car....I saw that he was hesitating to attack when I saw fear or something strange in his eyes, so while I was going toward him .I've asked. Are you drunk idiot? He said: Yeah....so I've just slapped him on hands to pull them off and told him that he will run into someone that won't give a shit is he drunk or is he lying that he was drinking. ...total confusion, guy started telling: thank you, you are fair !? Wtf....I guess that people on bus station that were near were disapointed at the end....but , when I came to my home and parked, guess what I've found on my trunk? His t-shirt...actually, I've drove away with his tshirt that he throw when was preparing to fight
So embarassing, he had to go home half naked
Only he know will he be able to explain to his wife or GF why he came home without shirt
...anyway, my conclusion...yes, just 30 minutes outside and you will get into shit because people are stupid, bad,or whatever and I am seeing this every single day ,all the time.
