#honked

I was putting a license plate frame on my front bumper and my girlfriend thought it would be funny to honk the horn while she was waiting for me inside the truck. My left ear was right in front of the horn area when she honked the horn. My ear started ringing lightly and I felt a bit dizzy. I lost my cool and went off on her verbally asking why the heck she would do that? Why should she thought that would be funny etc. I called her stupid and that her decision was dumb also. I slammed the trucks door and we both went inside. We were about to go out to get some groceries when this happened. Now I’m sitting here writing this and she’s in the room. AIO for being mad? My ear feels better now after 30 minutes. Thanks.

UPDATE: I’ve read the responses and I see both sides of it. Here is a little more of the background… we’ve been together for a long time and we always bicker here and there and make up pretty fast. We do joke around with each other A LOT - she thinks I’m bullet proof since I’m a man so she always tends to joke around where it causes pain because she thinks I can handle it. In those cases I’ve always told her to stop causing actual physical pain when we are pranking each other. (Scratches me too hard while messing around, squirts water gun straight in my eye ball etc nothing too crazy) in the heat of this specific moment today, all the times I’ve told her to not do anything stupid came back and caused this reaction. She’s come out of the room to make sure I’m ok and she’s asking me if I have any symptoms that she googled lol. She didn’t mean to cause any harm. I’m over the anger now and the ringing is gone although still have a light headache. Maybe shouldn’t have yelled but I do feel she needed to know what a dumb prank that was and it could have been worse if it caused some serious damage.
