Help me.White guy came to me and said bad things...?

Question

Hi... i'm an international student from Japan.

I have lived in America for almost 2 years now and am currently in college.

I was going to a shopping mall this afternoon. and I was looking for a parking spot to park.. I found an empty parking spot and make a right turn, but I couldn't see the other car coming so I almost crashed him(but actually did not). so after that I found another parking spot right next to it. and I parked there. and I just hopped out of my car and was heading to the mall.. but someone behind me was calling me, so I looked back. he said.......

(walking fast toward me.)

the guy : Hey!(with anger)

me : ?

the guy : what the f### did you just do? my baby is in my f##ing car. I would have f###ing killed you if you have rammed into me. blah blah more bad things with lots of anger.. (couldn't hear the rest.. my english is bad).

me : did I hit you? I didn't even hit you or I didn't do anything bad to you.

the guy : (he was going back after he said something

Answer 1

Who knows if he was white or not. That guy was just rude and arrogant, which comes in every race. Fortunately, not everyone is like that, some of us have manners. Don't let it get to you, I get cussed out all the time but it doesn't matter to me. If you guys did happen to crash, accidents are simply put, accidents. An unforeseen and unplanned event or circumstance. Be proud that you were the bigger person, and don't let negative people like that ruin your day, or life. Have a great week!

Answer 2

I experienced something very similar in the past.  It can happen to anyone.  It doesn't seem to me that his, or your, race had anything to do with his behavior, as far as I can tell from your description of the event.  Why are you so concerned with what race he is?  Will labeling him as a racist white guy make you feel better?  People of all races get angry from time to time.

Answer 3

stop being a p***y. just kick him in the balls.

Answer 4

Why do you need to know what part of europe he's from?  That's completely irrelevant.  Anyway, people often overreact, especially when they have a little kid with them who could have been in danger.  Drive CAREFULLY next time, look both ways.  He shouldn't have swore at you, that was unnecessary.  Try to forget about the incident, it's over, just be happy that you didn't actually crash into him.

Answer 5

Some people are just really angry and they need to let go of that. Things like this happen all the time. You did nothing wrong

Answer 6

sorry that happened to you. sounds like someone who was just itching for a reason to punch someone. I doubt it's really all about his baby...

I don't think there was anything you could have done. it probably had nothing to do with you as a person. so don't internalize it.

Answer 7

i'm going to share a story with you. it will help solve your problems.

I hopped in a taxi, and we took off for Grand Central Station.  We were driving in the right lane when all of a sudden, a black car jumped out of a parking space right in front of us.  My taxi driver slammed on his brakes, the car skidded, the tires squealed, and at the very last moment our car stopped just one inch from the other car’s back-end.



I couldn’t believe it.  But then I couldn’t believe what happened next.  The driver of the other car, the guy who almost caused a big accident, whipped his head around and he started yelling bad words at us.  How do I know?  Ask any New Yorker, some words in New York come with a special face.  And for emphasis, he threw in a one finger salute, as if his words were not enough.



But then here’s what really blew me away.  My taxi driver just smiled and waved at the guy.  And I mean, he was friendly.  So, I said, “Why did you just do that!?  This guy could have killed us!”  And this is when my taxi driver told me what I now call, “The Law of the Garbage Truck™.”  He said:



Many people are like garbage trucks.  They run around full of garbage, full of frustration, full of anger, and full of disappointment.  As their garbage piles up, they look for a place to dump it.  And if you let them, they’ll dump it on you.

So when someone wants to dump on you, don’t take it personally.  Just smile, wave, wish them well, and move on.  Believe me.  You’ll be happier.



So I started thinking, how often do I let Garbage Trucks run right over me?  And how often do I take their garbage and spread it to other people at work, at home, or on the street?  It was then that I said, “I don’t want their garbage and I’m not going to spread it anymore.”



I began to see Garbage Trucks.  Like in the movie “The Sixth Sense,” the little boy said, “I see Dead People.”  Well now “I see Garbage Trucks.”  I see the load they’re carrying.  I see them coming to dump it.  And like my taxi driver, I don’t take it personally; I just smile, wave, wish them well, and I move on.



^i would refer to this other white guy as a gabage truck

i hoped this helped

you did nothing wrong

Answer 8

well no offense but ur dumb you should of called 911 . he was threatening you !! . and you need to learn english and start defedning your self because only cuz your an imagrant doesn't mean they have to dis respect . start stepping up yo !

Answer 9

From the sounds of it your driving was not safe and it offended him because he had his child in the car. Anyone with a child in the car is going to get deffensive over sometimes stupid driving. So best next time you drive, drive a bit more carefully and watch where your going. But being the fact that guy had a kid with him he should not have reacted in that manner. But I do think he should have given you a piece of his mind about your driving, just not that harsh.

Answer 10

You did the right thing by not provoking him, you were the bigger person. Its unfortunate he reacted this way,  don't lose any sleep over it and remember he was wrong to bully you however if you dwell on it then your allowing him to still affect you.

Answer 11

its really no big deal ur never gonna see him again that was pointless posting this on yahooanswers no offense

Answer 12

.. i think you're hitting on him ( like in love with him )

talk in about his eyes and everything

you know if you guys had a kid together it would be cute if it had his eyes and like the rest of the features a Japanese person is supposed to have?

allot of ppl darker hair are usually are from the Mediterranean regions ; italy?

i feel like an immigrant too ..

and and and like .. he can be hispanic , bc you kno traits skip and shiiiit like that .. you have to examine the features CLOSELY but if you did that you would look retarded

AND IM SORRY I JUST LOOKED AT YOUR FULL NAME AND ITS TIMOTHY .. I DIDNT MEAN TO CALL YOU GUYS g*y OR ANYTHING I THOUGHT YOU WERE A GIRL.

Answer 13

You did the exact perfect thing. You did not react angrily at him, or it would have just escalated the whole situation (made it worse). He was upset at himself for putting his baby in a dangerous situation (he probably does not have the baby by himself very often), and took it out on you. Just apologize for getting in his way and then just walk away from the whole ordeal.

Answer 14

Don't sweat it. He probably has anger issues. I don't see why you would have been in the wrong, because accidents happen. I mean, at least no one got hurt.

Answer 15

There's no reason to rethink back to this at all. No accident occurred and the guy was probably just ticked off. The color of his eyes and hair and color skin is irrelevant. Just because (lets use ummm...trashville) doesn't mean everyone else from trashville are the exact same way. He's just his one own person...if he's a d**k then he's a d**k but thats all you should learn from this.....he'd never hit you unless he really is a complete idiot (especially with all the witnesses) so just make sure no mysterious scratches magically appeared on your car when you got back and if not then leave it like that. People are ***** behind the wheel..just take it easy and only worry about yourself and let reckless drivers pass you but don't let them push your around. BTW not everyone is like this at all....just not your day i suppose.

Answer 16

maybe little japanese people shouldn't drive big AMERICAN vehicles.  you should have kung foo'd him

Answer 17

Sounds like you were in a parking lot near his mobile home park.  Don't sweat it.  He was probably high on crack.

Answer 18

H'es just a b****.

Japanese guys rock!

Answer 19

Tell him to FUQ off...

TO h**l with him, he was on drugs!

lol

Answer 20

That's just average american rage. Don't worry, some people are just retarded. Like one time this girl had her 40 year old mom try to beat up me and my friend (we're 16 rofl). So yeahh people are always gonna be stupid, in a few months all of this will only be a memory though so don't worry about it. =]

Answer 21

First of all, why does it matter what color he is?  People of all colors can be rude.  How would you feel if he turned it around and asked us if all Japanese people are bad drivers?  My answer to your question is, no, everyone is not like that, some people like to use their kids to make things more dramatic because they think their little precious baboo is more valuable than anyone else.  They don't even think about the bad influence their temper tantrum is on junior.  Don't worry about it.

Answer 22

iz okay boo boo he is a jerk
