Ah, the 1970s: disco, bell-bottoms, and apparently knife fights over bad driving. This bizarre road rage tale unfolds over CB radio, as two men went from trading insults to trading slashes—turning a roadside into a makeshift coliseum.

According to a Reddit user, their family witnessed the whole thing on I-10 when they were just a kid. First, the user recalls listening to a heated argument between two drivers on their parents’ CB radio. Then, what began as minor bickering quickly escalated into threats and plans to settle things face-to-face at the next exit.

It didn’t take long for the drama to spill out onto the asphalt. About ten miles down the road, the Redditor’s family passed the two vehicles pulled over on the shoulder. And in a scene straight out of a bad action flick, the two men were circling each other in the grass, brandishing knives. Their wives stood nearby, yelling at the knife fight, while several children watched the showdown unfold.

Here’s the full recount from the Redditor:

It’s a story that makes you laugh—until you think about how dangerous it really was. Two grown men risking their lives in a knife fight over what was probably a minor traffic squabble? It’s the kind of behavior that should stay in the ‘70s, right next to platform shoes.

They say you can tell the size of a man by what makes him angry. Let’s be honest—no one looks tough pacing around with a knife because someone cut them off. Next time you’re tempted to lose your cool, channel your inner Zen master and get home safely instead. The grass between highways isn’t meant for duels.
