I'm irate about some of the morons on the road. My daily favourite is...
I live on the A32, and it's quite busy getting out of the drive. I pull out really slowly so I can see the road (fences either side). Although it's a 40, it's normally quite busy so traffic crawls past. I've sat there before for around 5 minutes as people go past - just staring at you trying to get out.
They approach slowly, and when they see you edging out slowly they speed up!! The amount of times I've sat there while someone floors it, then slams their brakes on right in front of me to stop from going into the car in front. Of course, they're blocking me from going anywhere, but hey - they haven't lost THEIR space.
A lot of them turn their head sideways to look like they've achieved something, or they're totally oblivious to the fact their f*ck*ng pr*cks
This happens every day.
BTW - I know what you mean about merging (ie one car from each lane merging 1,2,1,2 etc, keeping it smooth) the amount of times I've done it right, indicating, leaving plenty of time and space & some pleb has floored it almost into the back of the car in front just to not let you in.
When someone does something like this DON'T give them the finger, it's just an expression of anger - clap your hands together as if to say "well done - you are indeed a twat & can't drive for shit" it's much more patronising & even makes me laugh when you see them sitting there knowing what a fool they've been.
Rant over
