Don't Honk after 2

Ok so I learned a lesson on the weekend, even though I don't want to admit it... wait I guess I just did. ANYWAYS

I was coming home from a gig Saturday night at the usual 2:30ish am and I made a left at an intersection with 2 left turn lanes. The Fit is tonnes of fun so I whipped it around there pretty quick, and the guy beside me tried to do the same in his Jeep Grand Cherokee. Well he lost, and swirved into my lane in front of me.

Wait now for a second. What was your first instinct there, did you think "honk", "finger", "swear", or "shrug it off"? Truthfully, most people I know would do what I did. Honk. Not a long honk, but a honk nonetheless.

Turns out that wasn't the best thing to do. I drove up to the next intersection (an overpass light), it was red for a bit more and then quickly green, so I took off. The guy in the black Jeep GC pulls up beside me (obviously to glare at me or such things), I didn't even look at him, looked down and noticed that I was speediing a bit, stepped on the brake a little harder than usual and then pulled in behind him. RIght there the guy should have thought "He has a full view of my license plate, perhaps I should watch what I do." Well he didn't.

We both come up to the next intersection and of course Karma catches up to me or something because it just fucking HAS to change red. I'm in the left hand turn lane and the black GC is in the lane to the right of me. I made the mistake of looking over and this big black guy gives me a menacing look and gives me the finger. He obviously thought this was enough to freak me out, well it didn't. I shrugged and made a motion of swirving with an imaginary steering wheel, well that just made him snap. He starts yelling at me, saying stuff like "You think that's funny motherfucker? You bleepity bleep bleep bleepin' bleep etc. etc.". I just turned and looked at the light, luckily it switched to green because I think the guy was getting out of his car. As I was starting to go I heard a bonk on the window, I think the jackass threw something at it like a cigarette butt or something. Maybe it was part of his brain that he burnt out on cocaine that night.

It never ceases to amaze me how fucking moronic people can be. What went from a jerk reaction honking of the horn could have turned out into some half brain fuckhead kicking/beating on my car or smashing the window. The real lesson here is don't honk your horn at people after 2... possibly even earlier, and if you do don't make eye contact or react ... pretend you're a scared little girl.
