I used to have a bad habit of flipping people off, and I have tried to covert it into a habit of giving people a sarcastic thumbs up :/. It works out about 75% of the time lol.

If I were to guess you were in your late 20s to early 30s, would that be accurate? I've had the same progression, I'm just a step ahead of you (and maybe a bit older). Teens, early and mid 20s I'd flip people off, beep, ready to fucking GO if people pissed me off. Then it softens a bit. Sarcastic thumbs up, shaking of the head maybe. Exasperated hand gestures. Realize you're starting to get too old for that shit. Then you finally do get too old for that shit. Don't risk even interacting with idiots because who wants to risk a fight on something like a daily drive home from work. Just stay in my lane and away from everybody else. Takes 2 seconds to just let people get away from me, let idiots do their idiot driving moves well ahead of me, and I'll hang back.

The next step is gradually slowing down the older you get. The years pass by until I'm doing 30 in the L lane on the highway, making everybody deal with my incompetence
