I actually do this when I'm walking, too: If some dumb fuck tries to force a right turn, pinching me off in the crosswalk, then I will take my open hand and slap the side of their car. Hard, if necessary. Most people just slow down a little and look in their rear view mirror to see what crazy fucker attacked their 2000-pound car/SUV. I've had other drivers stop (in traffic), get out, and then try to quickly calculate what their options are for retribution. Zero. They're in a car, holding up a lane of traffic; I'm on foot, in a dense urban environment that I know intimately.

Don't get me wrong, my external existence is mostly peaceable... except for the times when it's not.
