So true. I had a guy honk at me in a harrassing manner everyday on my commute until he did it just around the corner from where he worked. I caught up w/him as he was exiting his car. Needless to say the confrontation was profanity laced, loud and uniquely 'southern' in it's mano y mano manifestation. For some reason southern men respect a good, even 'knuckle-up' and wont interfere. We developed a crowd of onlookers in a hurry. In the middle of the requisite preliminary 'wolfin' he took a good solid look at the resolution in my eyes and decided on negotiation as an honorable resolution. He NEVER has blown his horn at me again. Sometimes, ya just gotta 'take up fer yerself'.
