It's a hard one not to lose it and end up in a verbal/physical fight.
I had a cabbie try to tell me that I'd stopped short in front of him at a red light and that caused him to emergency brake. Err, it was a very red light and he wasnt paying attention to the the road, more like chasing the next fare I suspect. But anyway, I stayed calm until he said I was a stupid c*nt and am I too chicken to sort this out like men? WTF!? at this point I had pulled my chain from my bag and was yelling numerous expletives an inch from his face and ready to start smashing his cab to shit. I did rethink and just said I'm outta here. He then of course tried to run me over.
After all this I managed to miss one of his cab no's digits and there f-all I could do but go home and calm down with several beers.
All I can say is watch out and think EVERY driver is out to kill you.
