The moment you calmly express your disapproval, you've shown yourself to be the mature adult in the situation. Trust me, it pisses people off at times, but it's also the better way to produce positive change in people. I do it online all the time! ๐
You speak the truth. There was some ass clown driving and cutting people off. We were approaching a merging area. It went from 2 lanes to 3 then the right lane ended when the left gained another lane for turning at the light. It's a shitty area but this guy was trying to shift around like a maniac. I had to go from the right lane to the left new turning lane. He ended up in the right about to end lane but trying to cut more people off.
The going straight lanes were stopped from the light so from a couple lanes away, I was able to slowly drive, roll down my window, stare at him and shake my head in disappointment. ๐ He rolled down his window and shouted, "Yo, Fuck you!" ๐ I felt that worked better than any yelling I could have done.
Any 'bigger' reaction and perhaps the maniac might have shot you, lol. Definitely a good way to handle it. ๐
I agree completely. Getting mad just vindicates them, especially online
