As if I couldn't hear your gas guzzling, fume spitting, growling, death machine approaching without a honk. Furthermore, if it was a passing honk, wtf are you doing trying to pass me ON MY LEFT when I'm about to make a left turn, *******!?!?!?"

I responded with a middle finger. I'm trying the smile and wave approach, but the hand reacts faster than the brain. It's hard to intercept.
