A Word Of Caution

Guy cranked down his window and turned down his music. Big guy politely asks if HIS radio was bothering the noisy fellow. Noisy fellow says "Nah, I can't even hear it." Big guy with very straight face says "Neither can I." Gets back in his car. Noisy guy turns red. Light turns green. Big guy doesn't move. Neither do the rest of us, thus keeping noisy guy boxed in. Light turns red. Noisy guy stays quiet. Green light, and we all move forward... VER-R-R-RY SLOWLY!
No problem! 
I would be very careful about doing something like that in places like So. Cal. My wife and I witnessed someone in a similar situation spit all over someone's windshield and then attempt to drag them out of the driver's window. The driver quickly rolled up the window and the guy tried to bust the window. This was during commute traffic with tons of people around

Of course. The big guy was intimidating enough though, and people here tend not to be quite so violent. Anyway, it worked.
