The honking made me think of something that happened when I was in my 20's. I accidentally cut a driver off and she changed lanes. When we were even on the road, I did the "I am Sorry" gestures with mouthing the apology. She kept looking angry, yelling. I kept apologizing but it escalated.

I started yelling my apology!!

After a few minutes and when she drove off, it was so funny to be mad and saying "sorry" all at once.
