    I tend to keep to myself a lot and avoid confrontation unless its something I can't just walk past. I had one guy try and fight me in a parking lot after I told him to quit picking on this young lady. I think he expected me to walk away but I stepped up to him and he cowered away like a beaten puppy lol.

    I would have probably made it worse on purpose just for fun if he started getting like that. "HEY ####### WHY DONT YOU LEARN HOW TO DRIVE!!!" In my loudest fake angry voice and watch him have a nuclear meltdown.

    I'm sure that or something like that would've made things exponentially more hazardous with him telling "come here stupid, look at this #######"

    The easiest way to avoid confrontation is to avoid other drivers. Most drivers are a certain type of guy, that type of guy isn't really a very adept socialite. I'm not saying they are jerks or anything, just saying that a lot of drivers don't understand the basics of human interaction and it just isn't worth exposing myself to them.

    I freely admit I am extremely antisocial, the minimal human interaction is what attracted me to this profession

    Sure is. Most of the drivers I meet are normal, everyday folks.
