Has this ever happened to you?

Like the click-bait title?

OK, maybe I'm crazy but it's happened twice in the past couple months including today on the way home from work. A guy lays on the horn while passing me and glares. Normally when I get honked at, which is rare, I know why. But these times, I was just driving, nothing out of the ordinary, not texting or otherwise distracted, etc.

The only thing I can think of is, both times I was smoking a cigar. Is it possible that two different people who are not favorably disposed to tobacco smoke were dramatically expressing their disapproval? Has this ever happened to any of you? I hope I'm not experiencing the beginning of a new trend!

The other remote possibility is the external markings on my truck. It's got a Michigan upper peninsula outline in the window - nothing objectionable about that. There's a police support blue line, again, that shouldn't be too much of a trigger. I've got a marathon-style sticker that says 7.62, but only a gun aficionado would know what that means, and probably wouldn't object. & I have a Univ of Mich theme license plate which might attract negative emotions in certain parts of Michigan, but not here in the DC suburbs.

So I'm thinking they objected to my taste in cigars

Oh, I think I know what may be going on. 😀
