#he was road raging. if it was *a* wave it was aggressive & sarcastic af

[sage-nebula]

When I was driving home tonight there was this car tailgating me (we were going into the construction part of the highway where there are only two lanes and I was already going 10mph over so I wasn't going to do anything about it), and it turns out they were tailgating me because they were trying to get away from this other car tailgating them.

The other car was a some kind of old, beatup red car, and I know this because it pulled a dangerous manuever in the only-two-lanes zone to weave through traffic, catch up to, and cut me off without using his turn signal at all for any of it. And then he did this aggressive wave in his rearview that I'm 97% sure was him flipping me off given the context of the other behavior.

So I flipped him off back.

And then he flipped me off again, so I flipped him off a second time.

At that point he sped off and changed to the other lane so you'd think that would be the end of it. But his exit came before mine, so he got caught behind slower traffic and I guess realized I'd end up passing him. So he stuck his arm out his window to flip me off a third time, and also leaned his face partway out his window to yell something. I had my windows up, though, and music playing (I was listening to this), so I couldn't hear him; I just kept my head forward and flipped him off again as I passed him.

Anyway, from my brief glimpse he looked kind of like this:
