How many calories do you burn telling someone off? :)

My dog and I were just out for our daily walk. There are no sidewalks on either side directly in front of my house, and there were cars coming in both directions so I stopped because I needed to cross the street to get to my house.

Normally since it is a completely residential neighborhood people will stop for pedestrians, especially since there is no sidewalk and no shoulder. Well, the lady who was driving on the side of the street I was standing on slows down and starts honking her horn at me like a maniac! I just couldn't believe it! She wanted me to get out of her way, I guess jump in the ditch or maybe in front of the oncoming car or something. Then she came to a complete stop and KEPT HONKING!

So I gave her the bird and screamed at her to KISS MY A**. She rolled her window down and boy did I let her have it! Ripped her a new one!

I'm thinking of logging 100 calories burned for "Telling Off Some Jerk". :devil:

    Haha, I love it!
    Some people have no class. People who can't control their horn use should have it rigged so they get shocked every time they press it; that way, they'll think about whether or not it's REALLY necessary.

    Way to be assertive :D

    You're awesome!

    But you probably did burn some calories from getting your HR up :explode:

    Hopefully she'll learn from it and not be a d*ck to pedestrians in a residential neighborhood!

    Some people can be such jerks. My husband and I were at our cable provider and there was one guy working. So some customer way behind me yells at him to get help that he was not getting paid to stand in line. I felt like saying there is more thing in life to worry about other then standing in line. I can't stand when people get upset for having to wait. Ever heard of patience. :smile:

    100 calories for you, and 10 for me for the good laugh from reading everyone's comments. I feel your pain and I'm glad you gave it to them with both barrels.

    And yes, another couple for flinging the pool would have been good!

    LMAO!! I'd say you burned at least 100 calories!! People can be such *kitten*!! :mad: I ran out of gas once and as I was coasting into a parking lot some woman in a minivan blew her horn at me!! :noway: I got out of my car and screamed across 2 lanes of oncoming traffic "Are you freaking kidding me? How about you get in MY car & try to start it & I'll get in yours & lay on the horn?!!"

    Thankfully most people aren't douche bags!! Friend me if you need a buddy!! :happy:

    I hate people like that! This happens to me all the time. Luckily, I have a very mean evil eye (makes grown men look at the ground). ^_^ Today someone was trying to sneak past me when I was on my bike...but in a, "Sure I might hit you buuuut" kind of way. I slowed way down and stared at him for a good few seconds. I could see the the fear in his eyes XD Then I rode off :D

    I don't have the guts to actually cuss someone out though, but I think that is awesome how you went about :D
