I never flip people off or cuss at them, but I get very ANGRY when someone "bright lights" me, or "honks repeatedly", or "honks AFTER I have already made some minor mistake!" It makes me want to stab them to death. LOL! Sometimes, I will honk back just to be a bitch. *giggle*
One time, I followed this guy who put his bright lights on simply because I merged onto a road and he had to simply slow down or move over to the left lane. I was beyond pissed off! Funnily enough, he drove into MY apartment complex. I stopped and sat there. When I started driving off to go around to my apartment, he chased me on foot until I stopped. He then cussed me out and acted very aggressively. My young son was in the car with me. It was stupid of me now that I think about it. And dangerous! When I get angry, I'm not scared of anything or anyone. That can be VERY dangerous. Anyway, he and his gf were going into an apartment. I called the police when I got home. A police officer actually came and I reported that he was in that particular apartment. She went and talked with the guy. He was pissed when she was questioning him, she said. The guy turned out to be a college kid, probably trying to impress his gf but scaring her instead. I decided not to press charges as I didn't want to "ruin" his life. I guess I'm pretty rational when I've had time to calm down. :o
Another time, a young guy leaned out of a car at a stop sign and yelled, "Fuckin' back up, Bitch!" I followed him, too. A girl was driving and again, I had my son with me. :o She got scared and pulled over. I kept driving...
That was about 13 or 14 years ago.
Nowadays, I just cuss at people without actually speaking out loud or I slow down or speed up just to "get revenge." Not proud of my behavior. I am the most patient person when someone accidentally pulls out in front of me, and I don't even honk when someone sits at a red light too long.
I have never actually instigated an incident as I do not like confrontation. I am the same way when I am not in the car...Friendly and kind until some "fool" starts something. ;)
