OP here - he wasn’t elderly - he was like 50/55. I am honestly in shock that people are arguing that it’s ok for someone to get out of their car - for any reason. Flick me off fine. Start going 10 mph - very dickish but ok. But block me in and get out? Insanity.

That seems to read as though you were tailgating him and he stopped (otherwise you could have picked the distance between the two of you). Did he reverse? Maybe follow at a reasonable distance behind someone next time and you won't feel so "trapped." He probably was driving slower because you were tailgating so closely.

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).
