The premise

Here’s the bit.

A father stuck in traffic accuses the driver beside him of cutting him off. With both windows closed, the confrontation becomes a contest of extravagant gestures, and even the way they mime car controls sparks an argument. His daughter and the other driver’s mother join in, briefly finding common ground over his divorce before the feud resumes.

My mom told me to do it.

The rabbit hole continues
