So I ran out to get some double-sided tape to keep our cats off our couch, and as I’m leaving the parking lot, I come to an “intersection,” which is a four-way stop in the parking lot. I get there shortly after a guy who wants to turn left from the oncoming lane, so like a good citizen driver, I stop and let him go. Then, it’s my turn to go.
I start to drive and then some moron in a black Patriot flies up to the stop sign on my right without any sign of slowing or any indication that he knows there’s a stop sign there at all. So, I hit the brakes and the horn. Jackass starts yelling and gesticulating inside his car, so I point out the stop sign. He’s stopped now, so I proceed on my way, but right after the intersection is a light to turn onto the street, and I have to stop again.
Mr. Patriot pulls up next to me and starts yelling about how I’m such a jackass for honking and “just ‘cause I didn’t look like I was gonna stop doesn’t mean I wasn’t gonna stop.” (Yeah, this is basically what he said.). I’m kind of flabbergasted by the situation - he’s the one who almost hit me, and he’s mad? Anyway, he yelled at me for ten seconds or so, trying to taunt me into a fight or something (I’m 6’3” and 230lb, he looked like he was maybe 5’3” and 230lb).
I just told him to shut up and drove off, but I’m still pissed off about the situation. I just can’t understand the mindset of these drivers who aren’t paying the slightest attention and yet still somehow get offended when someone honks at them for not paying attention. I would fully support legislation to make it much more difficult to obtain a driver’s license.

We need better driver’s education and maybe mandatory yearly tests or simply something stricter than what we’ve already got.
You also have to remember this is Michigan and we have many shitty drivers here.

Sounds like he may have been trying to save face. You were probably correct that he intended to blow the stop sign, and when you called him out on it, he backpedaled and tried to convince you “of course I was going to stop; I’m not a bad driver!”

That’s basically my assessment too. I just don’t get why he wanted to fight me over it.
