Don't get mad at other drivers for stupid things they do. You're not going to change what happened. And either they made a mistake, in which case they're already embarrassed, or they did it on purpose, in which case you're not going to change them. All getting angry will do is ruin your own day.
If someone lets you in, wave thanks. If you let someone in and they don't wave, let it go.
Use your turn signals when changing lanes. There are still people who will let you in if you do.
Learn what a zipper merge is and why you should do it. Again, if the other driver doesn't do it, let it go.

Also something I learned last week when I rented a car: look for the little gas pump icon on the dashboard. There's an arrow that indicates which side the tank is on.
It took me 55 years to learn this.
I just checked. I'm absolutely stunned right now. Reeling, even.

Is there a less harmful alternative that would act as a deterrent? I would almost rather pepper spray the clueless owners that allow such terrible things to happen by not controlling or properly training their powerful dogs.

And buy good knives. They'll last a lifetime and you'll never regret spending the extra dough. Like all tools.
Corollary to that: Don't trust someone who doesn't know how to admit when they don't know something (and how to seek help finding the answer). Especially when it comes to people who have your life in their hands (e.g. doctors, lawyers, etc.)unicorn33 said:

YES! If you're going to use it once, buy cheap. If you're going to use it twice, buy "good." If you're going to use it often, buy quality.
