Unfortunately, our roads are regularly occupied by wild individuals who insist on staging full-on temper tantrums. If you drive a car, you've almost definitely seen road rage in action — perhaps you've even engaged in it yourself on a bad day. People get angry while driving; it is, after all, a fairly high-risk endeavor. Redditor u/ProSmartA1 took to r/PettyRevenge to detail one particular road rage incident they were part of and how they reacted to it. When a Karen in the car behind them started laying on the horn and calling for the original poster to move their car up in the middle of a traffic jam, the OP and their mom decided to have a little fun with the car behind them's rage. They made a point of letting a significant number of cars pull ahead of them, slowing down the angry driver even more. We know it happens, but when you get irrationally mad on the road, sometimes people are going to spite you just to give themselves some entertainment in traffic.

    Font - r/pettyrevenge u/ProSmartA1 • 12h + Join Road rage Karen So, this happened a few years ago but will always remain one of my favorite memories. My older brother had joined the Marines and was stationed 2 hours away in a popular beach town for training. Being that my mom and I love the beach, we traveled every so often to visit him on his weekends off. After a great visit with my brother, we decided to head home. This particular weekend, there was some huge classic car event in the town tha

    Font - My mom and I had left early but still not early enough to avoid the traffic. My mom likes to leave a bit of room between her and the car in front as a extra bit of stopping cushion. Not enough that a whole car could fit between but enough. So, we're sitting in traffic just talking about life when the car behind us lays on their horn. We look at each other wondering what that's about and turn to look at why the driver was honking. I stare straight into the eyes of ye ole Karen. Graying hai

    Font - Mom and I look at each other in shock asking, "Where does she want us to go?!" She mouths "B ch" at us and we decide to get petty AF! Since the slow lane is also the lane cars merge onto, and this lady literally couldn't move around us, we began waving cars in front of us. Purposefully slowing down to leave PLENTY of room for a car or two (or 10) to merge onto the freeway ahead of us. Every time a car thanks us and pull ahead of us, we high five each other in full view of Karen.

    Font - We've got the music blasting, the windows down and we are laughing and high fiving each other left and right. Waving much more grandly than needed and smiling at each driver that's smiling back at us. We even made sure to look back at Karen and smile. She sat, stewing in her car and calling us every name under the sun. Eventually the lanes merged into one lane and my mom and I took an exit towards home that had very few cars. Meanwhile, Karen's route took her on the same road that most of

    Font - jairatraci • 342d My sister does stuff like this. We will be stopped so we aren't blocking a driveway and someone will honk at her from behind because they want her to move up that little bit of room. My 11 year old once said, "great now we're never going to move." 327 ...

    Font - EasilyLuredWithCandy · 341d I do this! It is so satisfying. Some Karen behind me once started honking and waving angrily because I wouldn't run a red light, allowing her to run it also. I had my son (about 9 at the time) with me and he turned around and she flipped him off. I told him to smile and wave back, the whole time watching in the mirror. She was slapping her steering wheel and shaking with rage. Traffic was slow, as it always was on that road, and there was a merge point ahead. I
