Road Rage?

Travelin' Tuesday

Have you experienced road rage directed towards you lately?

On the other hand, have you displayed road rage towards another driver in recent days?

Road rage is nothing more than a temper tantrum.

It DID happen, but not with the frequency  that we see today. My theory is that our miserable, dull, dysfunctional lives, the dog pooping  on the carpet, our boss being a big jerk,  realizing you voted for the biggest idiot  in the universe for President, our spouse getting on us about  everything, is  the real reason for road rage...not  because  of a little error in judgement by  another  driver. Have you ever had someone pull out in front of you, and you lay on the horn,  shake your fist, and start cussing at the  driver, only to find out it's the Pastor's  wife? That's kind of embarrassing, ain't it? Back in ancient times, in the 1950's,  folks had to suffer 90 degree plus  temperatures, driving in their cars  with NO air conditioning, sweat  running in their eyes, dirt, dust  and debris coming in the opened  windows, and people  had a lot less road rage in spite of  all the discomfort. All I know is I'm tired of people yelling  at me when I make a minor traffic faux pas  that I wasn't even aware of at the time! That minor bumping of the car in front  of me in the McDonald's drive through  line was not serious enough for that  woman to have such a conniption fit!  (See above)
