Was driving through Mattapan a few years ago. Went around a woman who was stopped in front of a street doing nothing, and she got pissed! I mean PISSED! She caught up to me at a red light, and started yelling racial stuff at me, while holding something in her hand, and kept telling me to roll down my window. I refused, and she started calling me a coward and telling me to go back to my own country. NUTS! I was born here!...crazy drivers...

from the WBZ TV website:

She did manage to get the last two letters of the angry driver’s license plate…”AG”. She says it was a white SUV with Florida plates, and the driver was a blonde woman in her 30′s.

Are Mace and pepper spray the same thing? Are they even in the same food group?

... although people tend to use the terms interchangeably. mace is a form of tear gas, and it makes the skin feel like it's burning while causing your eyes to tear up. it is a chemical compound, and is usually dispersed in a fine mist. pepper spray can cause temporary blindness and breathing difficulties. pepper spray is made from the concentrated oils and resins of pepper plants. it is more of an oily liquid when it deploys.

... is that mace, pepper spray, or something else altogether? Is it effective against humans?

i believe the USPS currently uses either something called "Back-Off Dog Repellant" or something called "HALT!" and they're both a capsicum & mineral oil spray. so it's exactly the same thing you would shoot at a person. it can cause burning in the eyes, temporary blindness, and severe skin irritation.
