I rounded the corner, and the offending vehicle was stopped at the corner.
I tried to find a rock to throw, but there was none, so i shook my fist.

This evening, I went over and turned over my neighbor's picnic table. He will know that it was me who did that.
He is a very mean man. Last morning, he snapped at me and my dog for walking across the alley from him while he was sitting at that table. We normally try to stay well away from him.
But sometimes, a little revenge feels good. I didn't hurt anything, but it won't be all that easy for him to put things right again.
It took a little effort to turn it over. Both hands.
Very Zen. I dig your message, man.
I didn't really sneak around behind his back.
I considered various options, including waiting a week or two. I knew if I did it tonight that he he would know it was me. I wanted him to know that.
Why didn't you stand up to him face to face and tell him to F-off?
I've done that.
He really is very disagreable. I have never met anyone so nasty. The other people around here agree. Most people are very nice. Not him.
LOL! WTF?

I thought about looking at someone funny today.
Luckily I caught myself before I acted like a wild animal.
That was close.
Jack Handy--right?
How old are you Harry?
Most people never know who their neighbors really are. Count youself fortunate that your disagreeable neighbor makes himself known.
So the picnic table wasn't injured in this brutal attack?
What? No flaming doo-doo bag on his porch?
Jack Handy on revenge:
I like to draw a face on my pumpkin, stick a big knife in its head, and put it on my neighbors door-step with a note that says "you".
A good way to threaten somebody is to light a stick of dynamite. Then you call the guy and hold the burning fuse up to the phone. "Hear that?" you say. "That's dynamite, baby."
Turn the other cheek.
If this man is so miserable, the best thing you can do is allow him to wallow in his own unhappiness. By providing him something to focus on (ie you) you are allowing him to project his anger, rather than retaining the burning sensation within himself.
If you really want to piss him off, best project a happy disposition. Persons like this often are most angered by those who are happy with themselves.
Consider our friends the dems...they are most angered by those who bother to get a job, work hard, and generally succeed and are happy in their lives.
Oooooo! I hope I never do anything to piss you off.
So how'd the guy react to you this morning?
> How old are you Harry?
57, going on 16.
I can understand about neighbors. We live in a townhouse. The management here let the townhouse next door to us to two 19 year olds one of which was still in high school. Of course they let their friends crash here all the time. Lots of noise.
My sister and I could not take it and we though lots of mean things about them and we were always calling the management company on the teens. One night while settling into bed we hear a loud crash. Someone visiting another apartment ran their car through the teens townhouse.
Downside: The apartment management was getting ready to kick them out.
Brightside: they moved well enough away from us.
My sister though felt bad. She kept wishing something would happen and she thought that she had wished it upon them.
