Okay so today I was driving on the interstate with my dad and I was really bored. Me being me, I found an empty paper soda cup in the car and started to play with it. I turn it horizontally and squeeze the end so the mouth of the cup closes and looks like a mouth talking. Turning to my dad I go "blah blah blah blah blah" with the cup and we burst out laughing. Of course, shortly after this, I decide to stick the cup out the window of our car that is going over 60 mph and go "blah blah blah blah blah" to cars that we are passing.
We get many mixed reactions from drivers, most of them ending in a "wow, how stupid is this kid" look, but the last guy I did it to had his window open. I decide to be an idiot and yell "blah blah blah blah blah" in a high pitched voice as loud as I can out the window to him while making the cup "talk." His initial response was surprise but as we pass him he starts honking his horn and waving. I look back and he starts to flip me off and make all these rage faces and rude gestures at me (yeah, he was pretty old so he must not have cared that he was a 50 year old guy flipping off a 15 year old boy). Now as if that wasn't enough, he drives up in the passing lane- directly beside us- honks at us, and continues to flip me off. He then speeds up as fast as he can and gets in front of us. All over a cup. (luckily the exit we were getting off on was less than 100 yards away but his reaction was hilarious).
This got me to thinking. That wasn't even considered road rage, as I have seen much worse, but what is the worst road rage you have ever experienced?
