    I was once cussing at a stop and go driver, only for the driver to get out and point at her throat. She was choking on her toast. We got it cleared and she was okay.

    Assholes seem to be more common than medical emergencies though.

      Yeah I was that asshole a couple months ago. This van driver parked diagonally across my street, blocking traffic in both directions (note there was plenty of room since most people park in driveways, he was just lazy). He just got out and walked away, so I was pissed, leaning on my horn…… but he was a driver for the disabled and I had to watch him help an elderly person across the lawn to the van while I was honking.

      I feel bad if the elderly person thought I was honking at her, but the asshole driver has never blocked the entire street again so maybe my behavior is vindicated

        That must have been horrible, watching him slowly and deliberately move the old person across the yard, honking the whole time

        How is saving someone’s life being an “asshole”?

            Swearing at someone in your car isn’t being an asshole, it’s just venting. It’s not like they could hear it. If they were leaning out the window, then maybe. I’d say them doing the whole “saving their life” bit would make up for it either way.
