Road rage is a bad thing, people get shot. I stay the hell away from it no matter how pissed I get.

This is my weakness.
I'm all proud and profound on the "Forgiveness" thread but I'll ****ing rip you out of the car and shove that smart phone up your ass in public...

I rage inside my car. The worst part is that my kids now rage as well in the car. I have (on average) a five minute commute, and that's a very good thing for my own safety and that of those around me.

I was down there Monday prepping my condo for sale and goddamn it seems like Fayetteville's traffic is just horrendous. Compared to much of NWA anyway...

It's absolutely awful right now. It will calm down some once all the kids get their books and start skipping classes... but every year at this time of year it's just insane. I can hardly stand to be on the roads.

Not that it excuses the person in the white car, but I'd love to know the speed limit on that stretch. Seems like the guy in the Escape was flying.

5 minutes? Nice. Here in the PHX the drives are a lot longer and there isn't a week goes by without a rage incident. Years ago when I was contracting with Mayo Clinic I saw one of our network engineers pull in and get in a knock down drag out with some stranger off the street. Had to fire him over it. Mellow guy but road rage makes people crazy.

Ironically, just prior to that job, I had a 25 minute bike commute, mostly on single track. That made me very, very happy. The long car commute took a little getting used to, to say the least.

Not to hijack, but this is probably the most insane road rage incident I've ever seen on film:

I've only ever had one issue with road rage in my life.
I was driving in a Publix parking lot and "cut off" an Eclipse that was passing over my lane. Truth is, he had stopped at a stop sign then accelerated but my lane didn't actually have a stop sign- which I'm guessing is what he assumed. So they sped up to me a minute later and the passenger was like "You cut us off!" and I'm like "Huh?" and he says it again "YOU CUT US OFF, BITCH!". I was like "*shrug*... My bad". The driver just got this pissed off look and sped off. With the way the passenger was acting, I'm 100% sure there would have been a physical altercation at the next light had I quipped back. Not worth it, in my opinion. |
