Driving in LA

I was just on my way driving somewhere when some guy pulled out in front of me at a stop sign, cutting me off with clearly no regard for any rules of the road.

Probably related to the issues I've had with poor drivers lately, I looked in my rearview, saw him sitting at the light, and made the regrettable decision to put my car in reverse and go yell at him.

Then someone rounded the corner behind me and hit me as I was backing up.

Not a big deal, small tap. Everything was fine. But I stilled pulled over to sort it out. The car pulled up in front of me and stopped.

Then this big Mexican guy with about 1000 tattoos and a black guy with about 1001 tattoos get out of the car and come over to my window. At this point, I'm prettttty positive I'm going to get murdered.

They start yelling at me about what I did. I said, "Listen, I'm really sorry. This guy cut me off, I was trying to back up and yell at him, and I didn't see you. I apologize."

The Mexican says, "Give me $15-20."

"What?"

He repeated his demand. I just looked at him and said, "I'm not giving you $20. If you want my insurance, we can exchange information. But I'm not giving you $20. I don't even have $20 on me. That's not how things work in this country."

Then the two of them began a bunch of thug talk. "Nigga, we'll fuck you up! You betta pay attention on the street! Fuck you!" Blah blah blah.

I said, "Look, I've already apologized. What else do you you want? You want me to get out of the car and fight you here in the street? What do you want?"

They went back to their car and drove away.

Interesting town.
