Don't get me wrong, it's not that I am not capable of reacting negatively, I've simply learned that it has no upside and always brings me down. I refuse to harsh my own mellow.
Positivity is its own reward.
I don't know if I would say I react negatively but there have been several instances when drivers have been, what I can only assume, is intentionally discourteous, i.e. they "buzz" me when there's plenty of room not to. I will throw my arms up in a giant WTF? kind of gesture. Nobody has ever stopped (yet) but I feel better that they know I think that was a d**k move.
