Mein Straßenwut

Road Rage. Said to be violent behavior exhibited by drivers while negotiating traffic. It is also supposedly a manifestation of stress in conjunction with failed anger managment skills in real time behind the wheel of a personal conveyance.

Now me, I grit my teeth and yell at people but that's pretty much it with the road rage thing. I fear hurting someone else more than I care to be angry. Yeah, I might call you names or glower at you from behind the wheel.

I'm afraid that overt confrontations don't go beyond that because the bulk of those I encounter with varying degrees of failed driving ability also get the "stupid" connotation ... and along with that goes my consideration for "special needs" cases.

So when you read of some violent ending to a road rage incident, rest assured that it was not me. For I am simply going to grit my teeth at you and get on down the road because I ABSOLUTELY don't have adequate time to be messing with some moron doing 20 in a 45 texting at the wheel as happened yesterday morning on the way to work.

It's "life" and we're just playing the game.
