Road rage.
To me, there is absolutely no point getting someone mad on the road. There are many different things that can happen, because some of these people these days are complete lunatics.
Earlier tonight, my dad and I were in a car and he was going at a decent speed in a grocery store parking lot. A crazy person pulls out in front of us, but my dad had plenty of room. Regardless, he slammed on the brakes and honked the horn. This is what gets me. There is no reason to honk a horn. This person then follows us, and pulls up next to us at a stoplight and goes on a rant about how he was "speeding" (can't say I disagree) and that he should follow the driving rules in this state (I'm on vacation out of state). Even though it was nonsense, it turns into a swearing match, which I hate even more because of some private school morals ingrained into my head a few years back. I have never swore, and hate when people swear out loud.
Anyway, my point is that some of these people can be mentally insane or something and even be carrying guns or other weapons in their cars and try to shoot you. Some people may try to run you off the road. There are too many bad things that can happen when you purposely enrage someone by unnecessarily honking your horn or cutting someone off. Just have some patience and deal with it, unless it is clear that they are going to cause an accident which rarely happens from what I see.
How do you guys feel about this?
