Road Rage
Thursday, April 15th, 2010
Getting my lunch today I was a victim of what most of us call “road rage.” I define this as overly aggressive behavior that drivers demonstrate because of stress. Being that it is a Monday my guess is that this guy was stressed. Going down this back road the speed limit is 45mph. I was doing 45 and the girl in the next lane was also doing 45. After 3 minutes of tailgating the girl beside me, stressed out guy manages to freak her out and she speeds up just a tad. With enough space to cut me off he does just that, gives me the finger, and speeds off. I yelled at him, shook my fist in his direction, but my window was up. How rude. Then I started laughing, how ironic it was for me to yell at him I participated in my own definition of road rage.
