She’s not that old. Love the “darling.”
We need to bring that word back into use more
And “chicks”
Road rage isn't very smart- you never really know who is in the other car.
I would have preferred a Thandie Newton voice saying that.
Ya' know......I knew how her voice would sound before she opened the window.
Having road rage and sticking your tongue out is important in life? I thought it was to crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentations of their women.
Road rage isn't very smart-
She definitely got a good look at them before proceeding: "when I saw it was two [white] chicks" [I knew it'd be pretty safe to stick out my tongue, which I wouldn't have done if it were gang-bangers in the next car].
I’m digging the rosary dangling from the rear view mirror.
I found that completely unfunny. Not offensive, of course. Just nothing.
And I am guessing that it’s a gender thing. That most women would watch that and think it so funny, endearing, cute, clever, whatever.
And that most men would watch it and ask, “Can you tell me again why you wasted 90 seconds of my life on that?”
What I wanted to see was the bad driving that precipitated it. And with three women involved, who knows what it might have been?

I love how much the two girls loved it. I bet they have fun with so much in life!
For Anthony
I am kind of a patient and defensive driver. Mainly because I expect others are as aggressive and as reckless as I was as a teenager.
My wife is less tolerant. Some years ago, her route to work involved a poorly designed merging onto the freeway situation. She was not hesitant to use her horn to express displeasure with other drivers.
One Saturday, unknown to her, I installed an aftermarket air-horn on her car. Not as loud as a train, but maybe 75% as loud as your typical 18 wheeler.
Yeah, she called me as soon as she got to work and was a bit miffed. Said she almost got in an accident because the horn scared her.
Pretty dang funny.
And with three women involved, who knows what it might have been?
Bet you would have grabbed 'em by the elbow to "show them how it feels".
HaHa!, Just kidding !
Maybe the rosary on her rear view mirror restrained her a little. Or maybe she's a Biden Catholic and views it as a weapon.
Can someone clue me in- why is Chuck numbering comments? Did someone bet him him he couldn't write a certain number of comments without mentioning Trump?

Exactly. Bay Area Guy pulled a Scott Adams on Chuck and persuaded him to go fifty without mentioning Trump, or insulting AA.
Winning!
"when I saw it was two [white] chicks" [I knew it'd be pretty safe to stick out my tongue, which I wouldn't have done if it were gang-bangers in the next car].
That's true. A smile, a wave, perhaps a tongue if that is your way, will ensure an afternoon that you will never forget.
Bay Area Guy is my hero for the week, but he needs to think bigger. Why not a 1000? 10,000?
And there are always sock-puppets.
First of all, the woman is really interesting looking.
Reminded me a little of Keith Richards.
Then, her reaction... the whole narrative arc of it... is so amusing.
Sorry, darling.
It's just so wonderful. Would be wonderful in a movie. And it really happened.
You sourpusses who don't like it. Show me something better... in that genre.
"She’s not that old."
How old do you think she is?
I say "old" for over 50. It's simpler that way.
Sorry, darling.
That was a cute video. Restores faith in human kindness.
Women don't have to act like men. What a relief. No need to dig in on a trifle. Our protagonist evolves before our eyes. I liked it too.
That expression on her face at the very beginning? that is my resting bitch face.
She did remind me of someone. Frances McDormand maybe?
Road rage, where a good time was had by all.
She's close to 70 if she's not already. Reminds of someone too.
I do believe I dated her.
"Women don't have to act like men. What a relief. No need to dig in on a trifle."
We don't need women to act like men, women are complementary.
"I do believe I dated her."
I don't want to brag but I'm pretty sure if I ask her out, she wouldn't stick her her tongue out at me.
Can someone post a better link to this? I tried clicking on everything, and nothing worked. Thanks.
If an old lady driver gives the finger, I just stick my tongue between my upright two fingers and waggle it in and out.
It really, really gets them.
Maybe Iggy Pop?

Now if only we can convince Chuck the number was 50 ... thousand.
@Bilwick -- it's a reddit forum https://www.reddit.com/r/PublicFreakout/comments/cc9g7a/nicest_roadrage_ever_it_helps_to_be_older_and/
One of the comments there says, "Female Jeff Goldblum vibe"
I like that video. Seems like a nice way to defuse a testy situation. Can't work for men, because there is always the implicit situation of one guy caving another guy's skull in. I think she had a rosary hanging from her mirror as well.
Love it! That was hilarious and sweet. And the girls got a kick out of it too. Everyone left happy!
I drive a boat-load and have a CCW permit. I am like Full Moon, drive on the right at slightly over the speed limit, and let the nuts speed past, no need for discussion or contact. I am old enough to not be bothered by morons anymore, just go your way and let me be. Other drivers are different, I particularly like the crotch rocket cyclists who drive on the white lane lines and pass through rush hour traffic. I've almost killed two, and might lose a night or two of sleep.

Yup. At some point in my life (later than I would like to admit) I began to notice all those cars I was weaving past were rolling up next to me at the next stop light. I was spending loads of energy to may shave 5 mins off every hour. That's when I realized it would be smarter to just coast along in the right hand lane and smirk at the red corvette when I pulled up beside him just as the light changed green again.

I would totally drink her bathwater.
But not from a bottle.
Only if I were in it, too.
With champagne.
Doesn't the older woman look a lot like Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall? Which makes it funnier as she would probably do something similar in her pre-HRH days...however this is what the older vs younger driver/road rage meme immediately brought to mind.
