he/she
A: I heard my neighbors shouting loudly at each other because of a parking space.
B: I become small when someone’s very angry at me. Usually, I hold back my anger because he/she may be out for blood if I get on his/her nerves.
Q) If don't choose to put plural forms instead of someone like the first underlined part, what's the good way of wording in the third underlined part?
Q2) Is it a bad choice of doing so?

Because English has no singular pronoun that can be used for persons, we use the plural pronouns to refer to singular antecedents (anyone, somebody, someone, etc.)
