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.


If things aren't going exactly the way we want , whilst driving our car in this 21st century, in which we are all spoiled brats, we have a conniption fit:

    A tantrum is an emotional outburst that is typically characterized by stubbornness, crying, screaming, defiance, angry ranting and a...

    There was not as much road rage when I
     was a kid.

    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!
