We must've witnessed the same North-end-of-a-southbound-mule.

Did the gentleman in the car behind the mule blast his horn every time she
started to use that foul mouth? When mule was out of her car yelling, his
first horn blast caused her to jump like a blast of air across her nose. The
fourth blast was when she got his hint; mad as a wet hen, she hopped back in
her SUV and peeled out of the lot. It was an amusing diversion but I was
thinking the same thing about the example she set for her children. The
lesson from the gentleman, OTOH, was worth it.
