I'm not at all saying that you're completely wrong or unjustified in this scenario. I wasn't even going to respond at all to the thread but I just wanted to point out that IF someone had decided not to 'defend their honour' by backing out, like many of the posters here have suggested, it would have no bearing on whether or not they were less of man or that they were ok with nut rape, or something.

And for the record, if it was a tight alley, I still think Bill Gates would have backed out and went another route. :p

It's not just the racial slanders and other verbal abuse, but it's also a matter of technicality and principle.


The OP was first in on the narrow spot (narrowed by 2 parked cars on the curb). Anybody who's local to Vancouver residential zones should understand the practice when a street is narrowed to a single lane: The vehicle first or closer to the opening gets first pass, the further one yields.

Just because other's are a jackass doesn't mean they're entitled to a free pass on stepping on other people's toes. Would you guys allow me to cut in front of you in a bank, the que for a cashier, or in a walk-in medical clinic waiting room? You guys are the better man the me no? I'll keep that in mind if ever I do come across some of you.

Thank you OP for a good read on this Wednesday morning.
