Road Rage Today

[NewChief]

So our students are back on campus here in Fayetteville, and traffic is crazy as hell. One of our local newscasters was interviewing the Chief of University Police about traffic and such when this happened:

I'd say that people who road rage are annoying as shit. That asshole who just flips everyone off and freaks out in his car every time he's cut off? Get a ****ing grip dude.

Sure, sometimes I get mad at jackasses who almost hit me. I'm no robot.

Rage isn't about being mad. Rage is a behavior. Anger is an emotion. Emotions are what they are. It's a part of being human. Raging is a lack self control. It's just the grown up version of a temper tantrum.

My rage isn't about getting cut off and things of that nature (because I don't drive on the interstate). It's when you're sitting in a long ass light (the ones that take 2-3 switches before you get through them), and the asshole in front of you sits there when the light turns green because he's texting. Or when it's a place that's a KNOWN difficulty turning left and you absolutely MUST be aggressive and take slight openings if you're actually going to turn left, and some pussy driver sits there, ignoring opening after opening, likely chatting with their passenger or looking down at their phone.

I know. People are a-holes like that. Like, what do you want?

They do the same thing if you back out of a parking space and they have to beep or something. Sit there looking for like 10 seconds. Like, so what? There was no accident. Save the drama act.

Or when a moron putts along at 10 under the speed limit and then turns into Mario Andretti when they get to the passing lane (only to go back to slow mo after it's back to two lanes).
