Default Ever get yelled at?

So the weather is nice and I've got the top down. Just cruising along, and I hear a vehicle pass with this guy shouting something I think at me.

He pulls into a turning lane and has to stop, and as I drive by I look and sure enough, he is yelling at me! Apparently I am a STUPID MF.

I try to think, "was I doing something wrong? Did I cut that guy off?". The answer was NO. I did not do anything. Like I said, I was just cruising, minding my own business.

I thought a more likely scenario was I pissed him off another day when I was in Fast and Furious mode. I don't think I've cut anyone off, but I cerntainly have blown by a few. The are so many ricers to beat and so little time

Anyway, since our cars are failry unique, I guess they are noteable. Anyone have a similar experience by tearing it up in their part of town and it comes back to haunt them later?

Maybe that guy was just insane, or he was driving one of those Civics I smoked!

I've had it happen, and I was 99% sure I hadn't done anything to offend the person either. They were probably just jabbering on their phone or jerking off, ****ed up themselves, and yell at us. Oh and of course, it's always when the top is down. At least they don't throw things at us (easy target)

Some high school girl yelled at me and flipped me off for no reason at all. I was riding BEHIND her from a left turn where I pulled up BEHIND her. She made it a point to get up next to me and stop (she almost got rear ended) before making her right turn. She flipped me off and yelled something obscene at me. I just raised my hands like WTF.


Crazy people. These are the same people that will vandalize our cars.

^^ She probably couldn't handle the HID's and thought you were flashing her with your highs . I've had people who stick there hand out the window and flip the bird while flashing me. I just flash them back and you can see them swerve ever so slightly

maybe it is the wheels...

A couple of days I was driving, top down...enjoying 65 degree weather...I stop at a light...some old hag in a mini van rolls her window down...I turn my stereo down...I thought she was going to ask for directions... she yells top of her lungs with fist up in the air "f&ckin& hooligans".... I had to say something I was almost in tears...."yeah f&ck them!!"...then I shook my head 'cause I had no idea what this dinosour was mad about...oh well.

But I have to say, for every finger I get flipped, 10 other thumbs up or girls yelling "WAAAAH"....make up for it.

I was driving in the afternoon a few months ago, completely civil (bit of a change for me) behind an MDX on a 2 lane road. When the road finally expanded so I could pass her (keep in mind I'm by no means tailgating her to begin with) I change into the right/new lane and accelerate. As I go by the MDX driver (middle 40's female) lets me know that I'm an asshole. Now the strange thing is she's got her name and phone number on the side of her car, as she's a realtor. My first reaction was to get the number and call her just to let her know I'm truly not an asshole. Then common sense kicked in.

"You give c*** a bad name." and sped off.

Sure it wasn't the most diplomatic thing to do, but she had it coming.

this same thing happend to me once, a while ago in college. except i didnt throw my WTF hands up. I actutally made it a point to follower her for the next 5 miles, pulling next to her and staring her down with a blank expression every chance i could get. After about 3 or 4 miles, she started freaking out, blowing stop signs, red lights, swerving everywhere... trying to lose me. I stopped following and staring at her when she pulled into the police station, running out of the car. Im sure she wont be flipping anyone off any time soon
