I got road raged on
I was driving along this afternoon on a pretty main street here, during what could be considered rush hour. I was in the left lane, which was clogged up even though the light was green. This minivan pulled up behind me and then honked its horn for a really long time. I had the top down so I motioned my arms like, "what do you want me to do?" because traffic in front of me wasn't going anywhere.
Then the guy stuck his head out his window and screamed at me, "do you do that in your living room?!" I realized he had honked his horn at me because I dropped a cigarette butt on the road while waiting in traffic (totally stopped so it had no chance of flying back onto his minivan) and not because he was mad at traffic.
I ignored him, but I saw in the rearview that he started to open his door to get out. Luckily traffic started moving just then, and I scooted away through a yellow light, leaving him at the red. What the hell? Why get so pissed off about someone dropping a butt on the ground? It's not like I threw it while my car was moving and it hit his car. Maybe he was upset because he was driving a Pontiac Montana.

do you see all the cigarette buts laying around all over the place? yeh, you guys are the problem.
just keep it in your ashtray where it's supposed to be kept and clean it out when you get home or twice a wekk or whenever.

I hate it when people drop their cigarette butts all over the place, but it's certainly not something that gets me mad enough to honk/yell/get out of the car. That's just stupid.

Drivin down the highway one night, this girl in my lane in front of me flicks her still lit butt out her window and hits my hood. Proceeded to speed up and cut her off.
