Sometimes when someone talks shit, you just need to blast them once in the mouth and leave it at that. I wouldn't say beat his ass, but christ, sometimes people need to be put in their place.
Me personally, if the guy almost hit me and I spit on his car, I expect him to say, "I deserve that. I almost killed the guy.." If he has the nerve to come pull up to me after that, get out, and talk shit, I'd simply square him in the mouth because I see that as a threat. Then point to his cackling girlfriend and tell her she's next if she doesn't shut the hell up.
I know a lot of people think, "Just walk away, it's better in the long run", but that's not always true. It might be in the sense of, "You avoided potentially getting hurt," but I bet that guy is walking around going, "Yeah, some dick spit on my car. I was about to FUCK him up.." not having been taught a lesson. I personally think the latter is more important. People need to be put in their place sometimes.
I had an incident at a Best Buy once where a guy was driving like a complete dick. I gave him the finger when driving, and as I got out, he said something like, "Where I'm from, people get their ass beat for that shit." I dunno what he meant by that seeing as how we're in the same state... but anyway, I said, "Where I'm from, people shut the fuck up and don't drive like shit."
He turned to his friend and said somethin to the effect of "this guy's gettin his ass beat." I'm sure I would've, this guy was like 10x my size. Instead, I had the people in the store call security on him. They were monitoring him, I went outside and took the lid off their garbage can in front.. it was a metallic square top. I was going to fuck his car up... in the mean time, my girlfriend's makin a fuckin scene (I could've gotten away with it if it wasn't for her mouth).. but shit, sometimes people just need to taught a lesson. She ended up gettin the car, driving to the other end of the parking lot where I was (at the guy's car) and was yelling, "PUT IT DOWN. DO NOT TOUCH THAT FUCKIN CAR." Making everyone look at me... so I whipped the lid at the backend of his truck anyway.
I was pissed at that for a while. I simply don't tolerate disrespectful people. If you drive like an ass and I give you the finger, accept that as a consequence of your shitty actions. Don't get all huffy with your macho self and try to take it further. You could just tell he was one of those people that needed a good ass whipping... one of those guys who think they're tough and walk around pickin fights.
I've been taking martial arts for a while now, so if a situation like that comes up again, I wouldn't have a problem dropping those types of people in a heartbeat, 10x my size or not..
[edit]
In any case, I can understand 100% how you're pissed and upset. It might not be the most healthy way to react, but we're all different and have different morals/values.
