Out in the real world I sometimes am clued in to what someone like Zoltan might act like. Today I was at a four-way-stop sign. I waited my turn as the people on the left and right went through. Then I slowly began to take my turn. The person in a truck from the other side of the street was, I thought, also taking her turn at the same time. Since she had no turn blinker on I naturally assumed that she was going to come straight across, as was I, so in that case neither of us would have impeded the other. Turned out that she was making a left turn in front of me. That was fine. I stopped short and waited. But as she was turning the guy in the passenger seat of her truck made a big display of flipping me off. My initial reaction was a disbelief that the coward had revealed himself in the safe land of a moving vehicle. After it sunk in what he had done I'll have to admit that I honest to gawd wanted to beat the shit out of him just for general purposes.
