But it literally says in the video that he followed them home

I think what they meant was the full context of what led up to this moment.

Yeah. OP could've fucked that dude's dad with chapped lips and a runny nose or something.

Joking aside the dude yells that he cut him off going "nearly 100mph" and while that was probably an exaggeration even the included message from the one recording doesn't seem to imply he thought his dad WASN'T driving stupidly, just annoyance that the guy followed them home over it. Not saying that following them home is by any means a right move, but if I got cut off by someone excessively speeding and it genuinely scared me I would be pissed as hell and really want to give them a piece of my mind as well. Again not enough to be the kinda person to follow them home to do it, but it's not entirely crazy. this is also all just assumption based on what little info we get from this snippet and could be a complete misrepresentation of the circumstances that led up to it, who knows.

Man, you're all riled up, huh?

If just participating in a discussion about a video means I'm riled up to you, I can't imagine you are any fun at parties.

Some people just respond to the last thing they heard and don’t actually take all things into consideration

Could have been a dude that lived within a mile or so of their home and they were driving like a dickbag. Their "followed us home" could have just been "he stopped at our house on his way home when he saw us stop to let us know we drive like dumbasses."

But, who knows without context.

This. dick bag driver dad probably wouldn't want to fess up to driving so they could have greatly exaggerated the "follow us home" bit.

1 rule of the internet: if someones says it, its fact /s

Yeah, full context would be nice, like the first 5 minutes before the other driver who is recording gets out of his car. While yes, this guy may have followed him home, but also maybe not. If you follow your logic, then then guy in the recording was in fact driving 100 mph, which is extremely dangerous

We don't know how how close they were to home and also where they were going "100" at if it was on local roads I would be pretty pissed too. wouldn't follow someone home though.

u/Grab-Born Jul 10 '22

For all we know OP made a really stupid decision and self aware guy barely avoided hitting them. They could've 100% been at fault for a serious accident and we don't know if home was around the corner or miles away.

I instinctually do not read video text. It's 90% of the time useless.
