Fight back, if you know you're in the right;
Ignore the incident and show zero reaction (blank face)

    Sharona, I am not a grammarian, I was born in the United States just like you were. 
    No, seriously, I'm not going to let you wiggle out if this one, my pretty. You have disparaged the male of the species, and THIS MEANS WAR!  (Just kidding.)
    You fitfully redeemed yourself with your 100% truthful comment about those guys who run out and buy monster trucks with all the accessories as soon as they get their hands on the money for them. 
    You and I will always find reasons to fight with each other, won't we?  I wouldn't have it any other way. 

    Reported. Tag, you're it!

    Grrrrrrrrr, ProbChild, I'll see your reported report of my report, and I'll raise you an informant and a whistle-blower, both wrapped in a tattletale and smothered with a generous helping of finger-pointing!  So there!

  • No Sharonna, over the last 10 years ago most management books are she-oriented. Gender equality thing.

    I haven't encountered it in years.  I do recall one time when I could see a car weaving in and out of traffic in the rearview mirror approaching quite fast.  The driver a bit ahead of me and in the other lane saw him, too, and almost as if we had orchestrated our responses, I sped up a bit and the car in the center lane slowed a bit...just enough that speedy could not pass.  I never looked at the driver who was riding just to my left looking for an opening we never gave him.  My husband asked what I was doing, playing "road-rage ranger"...lol

    I think if you're going to "play his game", the safest way is the subtle way.  You didn't join in with his rage but had fun with it, while still making a point.   That had to make you chuckle when it played out that way.  It would have made me.

    I hate road ragers but I just react by imagining a deer running in front of the road rager and crashing through his windshield crushing him to death.

    You're right.  Now I feel bad about imagining innocent deer getting killed.

    From now on I'm going to imagine being a powerful witch who can just snap her fingers at the road rage driver and then his car's engine dies, then all of his dash lights come on at the same time, then his car catches on fire and he can't get his seat belt off and he can't open the doors.

    Yeah, that's a much more humane daydream then killing poor innocent deer.

    I'm not a witch but I can still imagine being one in the tradition of Harry Potter, bad tv and the Vatican but I've been told the same thing by people who really do practice witchcraft about stuff coming back three times on people so I'll just have to imagine.
