I took the lane in a spot where I used to get right hooked all the time. A woman in a black Honda Accord honked at me (which means she saw me), so I turned around and gave her the Look with my hand back. In the next block there's a nice wide spot and no street parking so I pulled over towards the curb and waved her through.
Now, that wasn't so hard was it, lady? Just a few seconds to ensure my safety and to prevent some nasty scratches on her car.
And when I caught her at the red light (which I knew she'd hit), I didn't even think any nasty thoughts about her. Have a nice drive!
