But this lady really pissed me off.
She’s the brown car (it was actually grey, but that would blend in with the road) waiting to turn left. I’m the white one. I didn’t actually move over as abruptly or as close to her as I drew, by the way - it was probably between the two lines behind us in the picture there. But anyway, here’s the thing: she honked and threw her hands up at me. Now, it doesn’t take a genius to see that there are two lanes in this direction, and the right lane doesn’t become a turn lane until ~50 feet beyond the intersection. So I did absolutely nothing wrong, nothing dangerous, and nothing that could have possibly had any effect on her in any way. So I flipped her off. If she’s gonna be angry at me, I’ll make sure she actually has a reason.
Also, interesting, slightly related note: it’s perfectly legal in Georgia to pass on the right, but it’s illegal to BE passed on the right. You are required to move over for a faster vehicle, even if it is speeding. Otherwise, you can get a ticket for “failure to yield.” Obviously that’s not applicable in this situation, but I think the whole passing on the right thing is what got her mad.

Yesterday I got flipped off by a woman who was texting and veering in to my lane. Evidently I was not supposed to disturb her mid-text by honking my horn. People suck.

I get angry all the time at the fucking idiots on the road. Although I don’t let it affect my driving (I don’t tailgate them or cut them off or anything), I just start shouting and screaming in my car in what I must imagine is quite a hilarious display to those in other cars.

I’m not entirely sure what she thought you did wrong. I do basically that all the time...she’s waiting to turn, so what does she care? What a twit.

I throw my hands up a lot, usually out the window. Sometimes other drivers will notice and laugh and nod in agreement. It feels nice to have that reassurance that, yeah, it’s the other guy’s fault.

That’s happened to me a couple of times. It’s a good feeling.

Lately I’ve been getting really annoyed at other drivers because they suck in my hometown. Usually I’ll just honk the horn and throw a gesture of disapproval. I try to hold back after that.
For reference I live on Long Island, one of the worst areas to drive.

I like this idea.

As far as road rage goes, I tend to go in cycles. People piss me off and piss me off, over the course of 1-2 weeks, until I’m acting like a total douche. Then I realize how close I’ve been coming to killing myself and calm down. Then someone pisses me off, and the cycle begins anew...

Me too. I just wish it was better enforced and more people actually knew about it. We still get tons of people going exactly the limit in the left lane, up on their high horses, thinking that they’re saving lives or some shit.
