Anybody else notice an increase in aggressive drivers or is it just me?

This has happened to me multiple times in the last month so I guess I’m just wondering if I’m being an AH at this point. I’ll honk at somebody for some traffic violation or if they miss the light changing or are drifting between lanes, you know normal things you would use your horn for. But they will get so upset, follow me to the next light, pull up next to me, roll their windows down and start mouthing off and cursing at me. It happened today on my way home from work, this guy was about to cut me off and I wasn’t gonna be able to slow down on the wet roads so I gave him a honk to say “don’t get in my lane or I’ll probably hit you.” Well he didn’t like that and he had quite a lot to say to me at the light, which he also did in the right lane while the light was green so he was literally holding up traffic to yell at me. I don’t usually acknowledge them but it just really blows my mind that people are willing to start a confrontation over something as insignificant as a honk. Now I get that traffic these days is pure misery, I sit in it everyday too, but I don’t want to also be worried about people trying to fight me on my commute bc I call them out for being a shit driver. Has anyone else had any run-ins like this? Really just needed to rant/vent so feel free to ignore lol
