Is OTHER wrong in the post ? POST : Today, while driving home from work, I was approaching an intersection on a side road with a blinking yellow light.  I know this means “yield” not “stop” but I’ve been through the intersection before &amp; it’s never been a blinking yellow so my initial thought is that the stoplight isn’t working properly. Since this particular intersection has a blind left turn, I slowed down significantly (almost stopping to peek around the corner) to make sure no one was coming from the other direction even though the stoplight gave me the right of way. I just didn’t want to wind up t-boned because an overzealous left-hand turn. 

As I came to the rolling stop, the gentlemen in the car behind me decides to lean on his horn, excessively so. Not just the quick tap of the horn to remind you the light has changed but the “how dare you drive so horribly, asshole” beeping.  I get through the intersection &amp; he continues to beep so now I’m a little peeved. When he finally passes my car, my road rage gets the best of me &amp; I flip him off. 

Unfortunately, we’ve now approached another intersection &amp; the light is red. So he then proceeds to stop about 15 yards short of the car in front of him so he can line up with my car &amp; share a few choice words. 

He yells that I’m “not supposed to stop at a fucking blinking yellow light” to which I responded “It’s not usually like that...there could have been a car coming, asshole.” So he said “go back to driver’s ed dumb bitch!” and drove off. 

The whole interaction really pissed me off because I felt like I had done the right thing by slowing down  (not necessarily the textbook  choice but given my familiarity with the road n’ such, a logical choice) &amp; I thought the other guy was being a TOTAL asshole. 

I talked about it with a cousin and he said the guy wasn’t really an asshole because I *hadn’t* been following the traffic laws and I had just decided I knew what was best despite being familiar with the road rules. He said I also could have caused an accident by improperly slowing down at the intersection. 

TL/DR: Guy excessively beeped at me for stopping at a blinking yellow (with good reason) . I got pissed and flipped him off. We exchanged words where he gets called an asshole and I get called a dumb bitch. 

So, AITA?
