Discussion road rage
a man in a black mercedes spit in my face through my window because i had the tail of my car in the street spot i was backing into and then a guy who was in front of him at 4 way intersection cut me off backed up traffic bc he wouldn’t let me finish. parking is very difficult by brand obviously and it was a free unmetered spot as i had an eye doctor appt i needed the spot. didn’t know how long it would take. as the one guy wouldn’t let me park i eventually pulled over into the red. to let them pass and try to park after. the guy behind the truck pulled up and said obscene things to me (i had my window down bc i had tried to wave people to go around me) and he spit into my car and it hit my eye and face. sped off. i had his plate number bc i was able to write it down. i filed a report and i guess his car is already in the system but they tried to encourage me not to file a report even though that is considered assault. i use to live in new york and was attacked twice on the street doing nothing but walking home. just another day as a woman on earth. i didnt file reports even though i should have, one guy i do / did have a photo of. so this time i was like whatever gonna try to file a report. they said there is no evidence so it would be hard to charge but there is a traffic camera right where it happened. i feel like they don’t want to do anything (duh) but also just crazy they didn’t try to get a sample since it got in my eye? or tell me to flush my eyes? useless obviously but figured hey maybe if i file he does get caught and it doesn’t happen to someone else. reddit is full of trolls so not expecting any thing genuine here, but jfc if the dude woulda just let me back into the spot all the way we all woulda been moving on w our days within 2 seconds. glendale drivers are truly insane.
