Default I didn't know how to react :/

So I was making my way through town after picking some stuff up in the C4 ofcourse . So sitting at a red light a mini van with an older lady in it pulled up and *revved* it up and took off like a snail outta hell. The next light! A s10 pulled up and did the same thing. Has anyone ever have this happen? I mean I have heard the *everyones going to try to race* but i had noo idea it would be that crazy it's like every day.

I had a guy in a Nissan sedan pull up at 60, rev it, downshift and pull away. Sounded like it was going to throw a rod.

This happens to me all the time, especially in summer, with the top down and my wife in the car. Everyone from uber-SUV's to bubbas in clapped-out pickup trucks or old K-cars try to choose me off. My normal reaction is to look over and laugh. Then, they get mad and show me their best John Force-type takeoff. My response is
