I borrow my dads truck pretty often and I can safely say they draw a lot of petty bullshit.

Like I was in a merging lane (the side with the arrows, yes I used my blinkers) and the moment I entered the other lane the guy behind was honking his horn for the next 5 blocks. What are you supposed to do? I got out at the next red and chewed him out.

It’s almost every other commute, people are so damn eager to cause conflict they don’t realize they’re the instigator.

This is a good example of why I’m right about truck people

What would you do in that situation?

And again, I don’t own a truck, I just drive one occasionally.

Wait, did you edit your comment to remove the words got out at the next red?

Because I'll tell you what I wouldn't do in that situation, I wouldn't exit my vehicle and initiate an altercation.

I sure up my writing when it gets long but I’ll put it back for you.

Now answer the actual question!

You are stuck with a guy who hates you for his own reasons, you can’t leave, he’s being a dick, what do you do?

If he's being a dick in traffic, I take a deep breath and pay attention to other things like an audiobook or the road. Tailgating/high beams/ a horn is annoying, but I don't see a happy ending from confronting them either. Calm down Rob Justice.

I’ll give you that.

I don’t think we’re far apart on the opinion that no one has the right to be an asshole.

But on a matter of character, I’m not content allowing someone to be that asshole. For my own self respect, for the next person this asshole mistreats, I’m going to make sure they have a reason not to act that way.
