Like, if you accidentally cut someone off, and they get mad and honk, how do you apologize?

    Many people who get angry at strangers easily see someone apologizing as legitimatizing their anger, and people not apologizing as not understanding they are wrong. I don’t think there is a good solution if people can’t just accept that other people make mistakes and move on without any needed follow up.

      Hard disagree, everyday life is full of defused accidental escalations because pointless escalations benefit no one.

      It is the same with animals and humans.
