Reminds me a bit of when I did the flipping off, a year or so back...I pulled around some guy who was going slow in the fast lane. He honked at me for doing it. I flipped him off for being a dumbass twice over at this point.

He went psycho. Frotthing at the mouth, swerving all over the place, trying to push me off the road. Kept following me. At least until I pulled in to the police station.

I'm not sure about this, but I don't think being flipped off is something to get worked up over. Let alone that worked up. I usually just return the salute with a grin and keep on puttering away.
