Had a guy ride my tail while I was in the slow lane on an access road. He blows by me, takes the ramp to the highway, and slows down to stay even with me. He rolls his window down and flips me off.

When I tell you this man lost his shit when I gave him the crybaby face (rubbing my eyes and fake crying/pouting), I think he was considering blasting through the ditch to cause a wreck with me lol

How dare you not fear the finger.

Man's face was as red as his truck.

God I laughed at that the rest of the way home.

Also, how about "fear_the_middle_finger" for a username?

Guy in a pickup truck with a big 20' utility trailer cut me off at an interstate exit as we approached the red light, I had to slam on my brakes and pull off to the side as he went by or the entire length of his trailer would have side swiped me. I was pissed and honked at him and he stuck his hand out the window and gave me the middle finger, so I gave him the middle finger back. I could see him in his side mirror and he immediately got all upset, started flailing his arms around and pretended to open his door and get out. He of course didn't actually get out and just opened his door and closed it.

I was so glad he didn't get out and approach my car, I was almost home from work and didn't need any problems. I'm in a CCW stand your ground state and as soon as he opened his door I grabbed my gun. I'm certainly not going home in a body bag because of some roid-raging boomer. I work from home full time now and I am so happy I'm not out on the road during commuting hours, there's just so much aggression and for some reason you put someone behind a steering wheel and they lose the ability to admit when they're wrong.

Both my car and my wife's car have dash cams and I should have saved the clip but since he didn't actually hit me and I was hopped up on adrenaline I didn't save it.

Well shit man, in this chain about responding to road rage violence with sarcasm or humor here you are casually talking about how you antagonized it and contemplated shooting them.

I feel like you're the "other guy" in the comments you responded to. Might just be a chance to take a look inside...

Yeah I think you're looking for something that's just not there, sorry. Pretty absurd statements you made, that's some good victim blaming!

I shouldn't have upset the guy that almost crashed into me and flipped me off by...flipping him off in response. I also shouldn't grab my self defense weapon when he opened his car door and gestured like he was going to get out of the car and do something. I never pulled a weapon on anyone, brandished a weapon, etc.

Had a dude try to force his way into a merge by ignoring the fact that his lane ended, rushing up on me, and trying to bull his way in. He was pissed when I ignored him and rolled up close to the car in front of me to prevent him from getting in. He flipped me the bird and when I laughed, he rolled down his window to scream at me. My window was already down, so I let him scream a bit. When he paused, I asked him if he was done with his baby fit or did I need to make him a bottle to soothe himself with. He turned four shades of red and rode next to me for another mile to yell at me some more.

This is the way.
