I was driving on Military Road near 38th Street in Arlington today around 245 and the guy in front of me in a silver/light blue Porsche Cayenne was going 10mph below the speed limit so I gave a friendly honk - there was a line of cars behind us.
The man stopped - close enough to my car that I couldn’t escape - got out, walked towards me, and asked me what the problem was. I am a woman in my early 40s. He was probably 55. I just said the speed limit is 30 and he said he’s going below the speed limit because it’s for safety not for my entitlement. Which doesn’t make sense and was also quite rich coming from a guy in a Porsche. I was so scared and didn’t know what to do - I think he realized that there were lots of people around us so got back in his car and drove off. All I was thinking was thank god my kids aren’t in the car and also this is someone’s husband and probably someone’s dad. So if your husband drives this car around Arlington - it has some big beads hanging from the mirror - and has a ruddy complexion with a lot of silver hair, he is psychotic and scary but I suspect you already know that. |
| Well keep your horn to yourself next time. That road is known for accidents, dogs getting hit, etc. Y ATA here! |
| Yeah, he should not have done that but also it’s weird to honk for that reason. |
| You honked at a guy on a neighborhood road because he wsas not speeding and he is the psycho? |
| I'm not seeing the psychotic and scary behavior on his part. And there is no such thing as a "friendly honk" when you're trying to tell someone to go faster. Just chill out and deal with going slower. It's not a big deal. |
| This is not a reason to honk. |
| You *are* entitled. You thought your little honk would make him go faster to get your way. You thought your idea of how fast to go on that road made more sense than his. Where did you need to go to so fast? |
| Stop honking at people. I bet now you will since you found out your car isn’t an impenetrable shield. |
OP is the type of obnoxious women I can't stand and that discredits us. It's the "I'm a little female and he's a big scary man!" Complaint. It's ridiculous and this type of attitude is exactly why people don't take women seriously with their complaints. |

Right? Wants to be a big bad B until confronted then a damsel in distress. |
| OP, Go blast Eldest Daughter and have a glass of wine. |
First of all, you FAFO. Second of all. Nothing you described was scary or made the man psychotic. Behaving the way you did was incredibly aggressive. Someone talking to you about your behavior is not. |

He’s a douche, probably playing with his phone like a moron boomer who doesn’t know how to use his hands free.
And yes, it’s psychotic to get out of your car if someone honks at you. Grow up, fragile feelings. |

I had a similar experience recently with a pick-up truck that stopped at an intersection where he had the right of way but didnt go, holding up traffic.
My take-away is that these pathetic people cant stand being wrong and corrected by a woman. In my instance, I waited for the other driver to go (bc he had right of way) and then waived him on, didnt even honk. He goes then pulled into a left turn lane momentarily before getting directly behind me and following me at a close distance for miles. At one point he approached my car at a traffic light (I locked the doors and ignored him bc I was a woman driving alone and hes a psycho). |
