The Horse gets cursed out last night! Has your spouse ever embarrassed you?

Yesterday evening, as I was driving to my softball game, those flashy crosswalk lights went on near a newish apartment complex. Those flashy lights mean you don't have to stop, but they alert you that a pedestrian intends to cross there. I stopped and watched what appeared to be couple crossing in front of me. The woman looked Latina and was about 30. The guy was caucasian, had neatly trimmed red beard, and was also about 30. What was slightly strange was that the woman, who was wearing sunglasses, appeared to be looking right at me. I expected a little wave of thanks, as many people do, but there was none. After they passed, I laughed and said from my open window, "What, no little wave of thanks?" I expected one of them to laugh with me and say, "Oh, we have entitlement issues!" or something like that. Instead, the woman advanced toward my car, like someone about to jump you, and said, "Why don't you just f*ck off!" The man looked with an expression somewhere between horror and surprise. If she starts a row (I'm being British here to show how much more cultured and sophisticated I am than she), and I turn out to be some psycho-killer, the poor guy is going to be the one who ultimately has to protect them from the Raging Horse. I wanted to say "Why don't you get a better life!" but just laughed and said "Have a good one!" as I drove off. I had a game to play and wanted to have time to warm up. Have you ever had a spouse or loved one with anger issues severe enough to put you in an embarrassing or dangerous situation? I did have a girlfriend once who yelled without reason at some kids playing in our driveway, but nothing beyond that that I can recall.
