I grew up and learned to drive in the DFW metroplex and lived in Chicago for 8 years...been to LA, Boston, NY & Seattle numerous times, and Houston traffic is the absolute worst I've experienced. Generally, the drivers are extremely selfish and completely upredictable. I have to deal with it far too often, but would much rather deal with DFW traffic.
To the OP...way to keep a level head!
Patience pays off in spades in a situation like that. What was the other driver going to do if the glass did break? As for me, at that point, the barrel of an XD40 would have been pointed at his cranium. The crazy thing is...he was holding you responsible for everything that went wrong for him that morning. It's a good thing that all he pulled out of his trunk was an umbrella.
