I didn't throw anything at your car, sir.

A carload of teenagers was riding through town on its way from their high school to their respective homes. Unbeknownst to the driver and front passenger, the right rear passenger was throwing M&Ms out of his window and deliberately towards the trailing vehicle.

Shortly after the car stopped at a traffic light, behind several other cars, a fairly large man suddenly appeared at the right rear window. Because the window was open enough to allow M&M's to be thrown out, it was also open enough for this man to reach both arms into the vehicle and grab the right rear passenger.

There was nothing anyone could do. The man was yelling about the right rear passenger throwing M&M's at his car. The right rear passenger was lying and saying, "I didn't throw anything at your car, sir." The other rear passengers were frozen in fear. And the driver was stuck behind other vehicles and with oncoming traffic in the other lane.

The only passenger who potentially had options was the front passenger, who was examining door lock and window options. Unfortunately, the man was very observant and watching the front passenger while gripping the right rear passenger.

Within moments, fortunately, the light turned green, the blocking vehicles moved forward, and the driver seized the opportunity to accelerate. The man had no choice but to disengage. And, fortunately, he either could not pursue or he chose not to. Either way, the right rear passenger continued to receive a verbal beating for the remainder of the journey, especially from the driver.
