I am an asshole magnet in public and on this forum too.
I had an employee that was an asshole magnet. I didn't believe him and figured he would have to do something to piss people off. Nope everyone wanted to kick his ass for some reason. Seen it happen twice myself.
I use to get many drivers who tries to challenge me etc. So many camera footages. They did more of a "my car is faster and better than yours" type of maneuvers.
I use to get many assholes who tries start crap on the st or parking lot. That shit ended when I got a dash cam and action cam.
Camera is one of the best deterrents of crazies.
Can you guys see this if you click on it?

Not as many assholes over here because the traffic isn't as stressful. I did have one that barely registers a few years back, I was going to the post office and turned into a nose-in street parking spot on the opposite side. He whipped around and came back, by then I was out of my vehicle on the sidewalk, and tried to yell at me for "not signaling" because he was about to pass me on the double yellow....eerrr... All I did was turn towards him and say something like "And what's your resolution big guy?" and he took off fast.
I'm not an asshole magnet and have a fairly cool temper (I was mostly just getting the point, I thought my expression was incredulous), but I do have some variation of resting pissed face. My incredulous might be misinterpreted as stabby.
Over there on the east slope though, never know when someone will pull a gun if you sneeze disrespectfully.
ETA: There was one that definitely was bizarre but not high speed. Noticed a car making the same turns behind me, and we're not talking "turning right at an intersection a few times". Close in, A few stoplights, residential streets, zigzagging through a parking lot, then around a broad commercial center a couple times, and a several turns after that, but trying to be discreet behind me. Suddenly bailed when I took out the phone and started dialing non-emergency. (nighttime, so you can see when someone has a phone to their face). If you do have someone following you, not always best to run, call and drive towards LEO service (e.g. a station with a public lobby). I still wonder wth they were doing.
I'm generally pretty mellow, but had he said those things about my wife, I might have been tempted to accept his invitation to dance out in the parking lot, just to see what his reaction was. It's been a long, long time since I was in a fight, but I'm pretty sure I remember how it's supposed to go.
