what is it with some people?

Driving home last night to High Wycombe, I come off the motorway to be greeted by a nice queue on the exit road that isn't moving due to an accident on one of the local roads.
I nip down the inside and a guy starts to pull out, so I wait, thinking "he was there first, if he wants to come out I'll let him". I'm a nice guy. But he only moves a little bit because the traffic has stopped. So I wait, with about a 5 metre gap to the car in front.
I figure that I'll let him out if he wants to go when the traffic starts moving - I have nothing to lose anyway. It's only a gap.
A few minutes go by, and a lady in a black C2 comes up behind me. Gets close. Then starts beeping. Beeps again. And again. I'm about to get out and say "what is your problem?" but I'm placid, and I reckon she can't see the cars are blocked a few metres in front of me.
She screams back on to the motorway and cuts in front of loads of people further up. It's a 3 lane exit road by the way.
I have the opportunity to pass her on the inside a bit later, so I honk my horn and gesture a "what the f**k is going on in your head" gesture.
Then another age goes by and she passes me, stops the traffic, and is waving her hands about frantically. I wind down my window, and she starts ranting and ranting a f-ing and blinding some utter utter rubbish about cars in front and blah blah blah, she's going proper mental.
So I lost the plot and said about forty f words and god knows what else at her and that she was a mindless b1tch and should get a f**king life, then I have no idea what else I said, I was just spouting abuse.
What is it with people like this? The closer you get to London the more aggressive people get. It was a 5 metre gap FFS! she wouldn't have gone any further if I'd closed it! jeeeeeesus!

I will add a section on impatience.
