Neil, I read your original comment and some following and skipped to the end. I understand your anger. I also find it healthier to look for ways to let it go and move on without carrying anger, because it'll likely slip out on somebody when you don't want it to. I do like the sympathy card to his wife idea though.

You know the one thing that people sorta missed here is that whem I did that Little "Prank" if you want to call it that, I really was calm, I was even laughing to myself because it really was a harmless prank.. but a little message was sent. No one lost an eye, or any damage to the vehicle...I really should have just placed a sympathy card on the windsheild. But you know something, just this morning, about 20 minutes ago actually I was walking to Tim's for my "Tea".. and when I just about reached the door, this idiot almost ran me over, he came around the corner fast into the parking spot, 'Both" Parking spots actually, I had to jump out of the way, he left his car across both spots, in a very busy lot and just proceeded to walk in line to get his coffee. Another A-hole with no consideration of anyone... I looked back at him and just shook my head as the others were doing, and not a word was spoken to him.. not a word, and when he got out of sight, that's when they all started to comment on him... You know it's sad in a way, that no one wants to get involved anymore.. he'lL do it again tommorrow, and the day after that..I just figured it's not worth it.

What do you think a psychologist would do with this? Someone acting as though they are the most important person on the globe and wanting everyone to know it because it's not obvious. This person should get our sympathy not the attention of anger. Perhaps you might buy his tea and gain opportunity to have words with him. Would he mistreat others if he knew them? Easy to say since he's in your hood not mine.

Sounds like a builder Neil. I hate to stereotype people because it's not 100% accurate. But we all know that realtors are *the* cheapest people on earth, hair stylists are next in line and builders are arrogant know-it-alls that track mud into your office every time they come in. They don't even pretend to wipe their feet. They drive around to their job sites in their big duelies, squawking on their cell phones to their loyal sub that's barely making a living, giving him the guilt trip for charging him so much. All the while he lives on the golf course and hasn't seen a callous on his own hands in years. Rick, you're a great guy and I admire your pacifism but Cali isn't the real world - especially Mendocino, LOL.
