Sometimes it's other way around.

I was on my way to work the other day, running late, and I had to drop off my kid at school first. I get out from my alley onto the main street. One lane is jam packed with cars and barely moving, but the other one is fine. I change the lane and drive minding my own business. Suddenly this Hyundai changes the lane in front of me and goes barely over 10mph. (Speed limit is 45). I follow that car for about 2-3 minutes, but realize that it is not going to go any faster, while holding me up and about 10 cars behind me. So i manage to get around and end up in front of her (it was a lady in her 50's or so) and speed up to about 40. I definitely did not cut her off, because she was going way too fucking slow to be cut off to begin with. Suddenly she flips her shit, starts tailgating me and laying on the horn. Me and my kid are like "WTF is wrong with her?"

She is riding my ass for about a mile on that street and i get onto highway on-ramp hoping she would fuck off. Fat chance! Morning traffic. 2 cars per light and about 20 cars in front of me. That bitch is right behing me, STILL honking. I get on the highway, hoping to get rid of her, but the traffic is dense and there is nowhere for me to go, but in the lane i am in, with that bitch on my ass. Still fucking honking at me!!!

That went for 8 MORE MILES until i was able to finally lose her behind.

What a fucking douche. I hope she gets 4 flat tires at the same damn time.

Some people are just plain dumb. From your story, I didn't see anything that you did wrong. I don't know what her problem was. I love how everyone thinks that they are always right when they're behind the wheel. Lol

yea i rarely use the horn either. there was this one time on my way home from school, i was moving in the left lane and there was a huge backup of cars going so slow. one by one all the cars in the left lane start passing on the right (both from in front of me and behind me). im just stuck there, i didnt want to cut anyone off, no one would let me pass. finally i get behind some lady in an suv moving at like 40 mph. i honk in a way that lets them know "hey wtf, speed up or move"...she doesnt even make an attempt to signal to switch over or anything

i honk again because by now i figure someone else in front of her is causing this so i want them to hear it as well. finally she switches over and i find the real culprit just chilling there like nothings wrong. cars are still flying by in the middle lane. at this time, my patience is out the window. i start blaring my horn at this person over and over and over until they finally switched over and i floored the hell outta the car past him. the asshole went on like nothing was wrong. im usually not the person to be so aggressive like that but holy shit dude wtf are you doing 40 in the left lane on a major state highway!

My only thought is that her horn pulled a "Prius accelerator pedal" on her. hahah

Don't try to be tough guys =/ you never know who you're dealing with. True story, I was rolling with my friend and his friend who Ive never met before. He was about 23-25. He honks because this guy in a ford pick up doesn't move on a left green. The guy eventually moves, the friend driver glares, the pick up rolls down his windows and gives him the finger. The friend rolls down his window and calls him a fker and gives him the finger. The ford cuts us off, gets out and approaches the window. The friend driver reaches into the glove department and grabs his glock and taps his head with it. I was scared shitless in the backseat the entire time but the guy got back into his car and drove off like nothing happened.

The ones that get me are the people that want to ride my rear end light to light in stop and go traffic. I had a guy doing it last week in a Ford when I had my M out and really pissed me off, he almost hit me 5 TIMES. At the next light after about 8 miles of this, I got out fuming mad and he would even look at me, while I went off. Then on my way into work the next morning guess who was behind me. Needless to say if I chewed in my car he would've had a big dip spit at him.

I have to admit that today I was guilty of not seeing the light turn green. But to my credit it was only about 2 seconds before I caught it, but apparently that was too long as the Prius behind me beeped his horn. At least give people five or so seconds to see it! My God! Needless to say I watched him disappear in my rear view mirror afterwards...

And in case anyone is wondering, I was looking at another E92 going the other way.
