I think I got an arguably agressive honk once between August and December 21st. Since that time I got at least 40-50 honks, dozens aggressive passes and a handful of heckling/screaming from passing cars. X-mas fever! Probably because I live near and have to pass through a huge ritzy local shopping area that now even includes a Walmart. Way too much traffic, barely wide enough for car sideroads and x-mas stress probably add up to short fused drivers.

Last night I was riding up a thin 2 lane 30mph road going about 25. The guy behind me was waiting patiently but 2 cars back someone swung out and passed both of us honking all the way before they cut me off closely and slowed down to about 20mph until I reached my turn. Wheeeeeeee! I guess they didn't get the presents they wanted for X-mas
