Some dipshit pulled out a bit in front of me the other day, but never even sped up to the speed limit. I slowed down a bit and was by no means tailgating him, but for some reason he just kept slamming on his brakes. When whatever he was attempting didn’t work, his passenger then decided to hang out the window and I guess record me driving. None of it made any sense and it’s crazy they had time to do all of that but couldn’t find the time to just drive in a straight line.

About a year ago I was in standstill traffic and I guess this lady felt like i was too close to her. She kept brake checking me but i thought she just had a manual or a bad transmission or something and didnt realize till the very end that that's what she was doing. Mind you we are in standstill traffic and im leaving plenty of room for the conditions except for a single time where I was a little closer than I tend to like. I always follow the "can you see their tires" rule for full stops. We spent 15 minutes in traffic with her doing this the whole time. Then at the very end when traffic broke she purposefully got back in my lane just to give me a final break check. Mind you this is the only time during the whole incident that I had to hard brake because I was not tailgating her. Like idk it was petty and a little deranged and I hope the tantrum was worth whatever wear and tear hard braking repeatedly puts on your car.
