Not a driver, never had to defend myself.....but Ive had several occasions when Ive been out with a UPS cap or jacket and people get confrontational about their damaged/late package or what not |

Hopped out of the truck on a dirt road on an RD route one day, left the package on the porch, and on the way back I noticed a copperhead all coiled up next to the door. | |

I ran back to the house screaming like a little girl. I called animal control and waited 30 minutes before they arrived and It was safe to go outside. I was crying most of the time, but the old lady who lived there was very kind and let me have milk and cookies. |

Only from the ladies, something about a man in uniform that drives some of them crazy. | |

Actually, I walked around the truck, got in the driver's side, backed up about 10 feet (without tapping the horn) and ran the bastage over. Copperheads are the only snake I will gladly kill. | |
