Had an encounter where I passed through an intersection, where 2 lanes merge about 100 yards after the intersection. I was in the right lane which merges into the left.

My lane was relatively empty while the left lane was busy.

I stayed in my lane until the merge point to zipper merge, but the driver I should have been able to get in front of wouldn't let me in and then angrily flipped me the bird on the way by. (I was using my blinker as well)

Was I in the wrong? I thought zipper merging was the correct action in this situation. Please let me know, I don't want to cause road rage.
