I usually try to have witnesses to the altercation. Sometimes it's best to let them blow steam and go away. At other times, I have a "talk" with the person.

"Dude, own a house? and is your dually fully paid?" "good, keep it up and I'll own your house and your pkup" Usually a dim light comes on inside their amoebic brain, with "F you" and other explatives and they drive away. Being an avg height woman (bit on the short side), the angry knuckle dragging visigath don't dare lay their hands on moi.

Now on the other hand, if the rabid, foaming in the mouth, visigath looks homocidal, I usually try to find witnesses and then say, "sorry I was in your way. Next time I'll be more careful. " It's not worth getting killed or be hospital bound over who is right. I ain't proud. just not worth it.

Sometimes, letting angry person "walk over you" is the best recourse. I usually go for a potful of turkish coffee afterwards to calm my nerve and be angry over for being violated. Still better than be crippled.
