Road rage...

C

Cookie monster

Anyone who knows me on these forums will probably tell you i'm a nice guy, kind friendly polite and courteous.

In real life i'm much the same, rarely stressed never abusive in short i'm a good person, excep when i'm driving....

I swear it's like a different person is driving when some asshole cuts me up or does something stupid that endangers my life, i'm like the anti-christ.
I've hit people, kicked cars and ripped the wing mirrors off on more than one occasion, none of which i take any pride in.

An idiot pulled out in front of me today and all i wanted to do was turn around catch the guy at the lights and kick the living bejesus out of him.
Only thing that stopped me was that the girlfriend and dog were beside me,

Anyone else suffer from this type of thing and how do you deal with it?

I'm seriously beginning to think about counseling or something like it, i know it seems stupid but i'm actually worried about what i might do.

Man you are like my roommate. He will FLIP the fuck out if someone cuts him off or something or just does any kind of unfavorable driving.

But when he does it it is ok.

Just remember that noone is perfect and it COULD have been a accident. Even if it was not man live and let live, just move on no point in stressing it.

I have the same problem , i am a very easy going person , but when i am in the car sober , i am just plain aggressive and can't have anything.

When i smoke it is a different story.

The thing that makes me pissed always is the fact that you get a fine for driving too fast , but sometimes there are people driving 20 miles too slow and that is one thing that really pisses me off.

Mostly dutch people , old people or women(sorry women but it IS the truth)

What can you do?? i dunno i just mostly scream(with all windows shut) and hit my stearing wheel , it releases tension .

if they are going too slow AND they keep driving left blocking all faster traffic , then i use my horn and lights I'm like da fuck just go right with your car so everyone can pass.


I am talking here about people that go way slower than the limit. if you drive as fast as the limit allows then it's my prob and i should surpass you. But PLEASE , at least try to go as fast as the fucking limit allows

But when you have GF and baby + dog in car , screaming and hitting the wheel might not be such a good idea.

I swear when i get back from work with the car and i exit the car i am many times dizzy from pure and utter road rage

I was trying to use the GPS on my phone the other day, and this guy flipped out on me.

"Im new here asshole, backoff!!!!" Ahhh yes humankind coming together.... It's a beautiful thing.

*sniff*

I guess he thought I was probably texting or something.

Well cookie,
I am no expert but I think the reaction you are having is common. What other emotion should you have when some idiot pulls out in front of you, they could have caused an accident and killed you or your dog or your girlfriend or all three! When someone makes dumb decsions and puts your life on the line the natural reaction would be to get pisssed and kick their ass. This is why humans will fail, no natural selection, you should go knock his brains in to stop him from breeding.

On a positive note lol, there are tools you can use to overcome this. A good friend of mine uses this toy, her husband got this for. If it doesn't get results its still fun to play with, and the batteries last a long time!

Also, should you chose the not so positive route, this song here was made for you and I suggest it for a pre-game pump up. Just drive around with this song playing and begin the laws of natural selection. Only the strong survive!

Jim that sounds like something i would say if somebody were to ask me what to do in the same situation, but when it's me driving that sort of logic seems to disappear.

I used to be like that when I was living in the Bay Area, a complete maniac behind the wheel at any perceived slight by any other driver, bordering on homicidal. A funny thing happened when I fled that putrid, stress filled area to live in a smaller, quieter area, my road rage urge vanished within 2 weeks and it only returns when I visit my friends down there. Where you drive and the type of drivers that inhabit that particular city have a great deal to do with your reactions behind the wheel.

what gets me are the people who completely disregard the law, and then act like YOURE the dickhead!

example.

we have a very highly traveled 2 lane highway (2 lanes each direction) which intersects multiple cities, counties, etc. anyway, the left is to pass and you normally drive the speed limit/5 above in the RIGHT hand land.

what TICKS me the fuck off are the fags on harleys (LOL) or just in general idiots who will drive 50 in the LEFT lane when the avg MPH is 65...then you try to pass them on the right (also technically illegal) they look at you like a dickhead!!

they disregard the law, drive like a two-bit fucktard, then blame someone else.

I HATE those people. no, i don't hate, correction...dislike.

you guys need to relax. most people don't know how to drive. get over it.

I think people over 60 should be forced to do annual road tests in order to keep their license.

One of my best friends is in her 8th month of rehab from a punk kid pulling out in front of her while she was on her fatboy Harley. She flew about 15+ feet over the front end of the car, she was feet from smacking in to the side of the car. She was flipping through the air and landed on her arm, which broke clean in half below the shoulder. I was the first one on scene, she got someone to call me cause I am not far down the road. I literally put out a fat joint of hash plant that I smoked to myself and was on the scene in less then 2 min.

She has lost both her jobs, 2 years prior her husbnad died of cancer suddenly, then her mom got cancer, then her dog, then her daughter had a miscarriage. That fatboy was her husbands bike, and was the closest thing to her in the world. It was ruined, and so was her arm. She was in finnacial ruins before the accident and losing both jobs due to her arm. She was going to lose her house she had 5 years to payoff rather then sell that fatboy. Now its totaled.

My parents and all their friends ride harleys, and I can tell you there are idiots on motorcycles, but less on harleys. The idiot drivers are the ones hitting the motorcycles.

I raged on a dude when I was a kid. I ran towards his car and he was all calm trying to talk me down and I kept going towards him and like a ninja the dude had like an 18 inch machete at my throat. To this day I have no idea where he was keeping that thing.

He learned me.


I had a guy rage on me at a light. He yelled "I'm an ex-Marine!" I responded "I'm an ex-con!". He looked at me so confused and did that hand dismissal thing and got back in his car. I, on the other hand, peed a little in my pantaloons.

one time when i was 16.. i was going down this 4 lane highway.. 2 lanes one direction.. 2 lanes the other direction

well i pulled up by this soccer van and rode side by side for 25 minutes and we had traffic backed up for miles (Friday night).. all the way to the next town... by the time i got to the red light this one dude stormed out of his car and was saying a bunch of shit... outside my car at the damn red light.

My friend was in the back of the car making faces at him the whole time... the guy went nuts. But obviously too scared to do anything about it.


And another time i was driving drunk on a country road and wouldn't let this lil PT cruiser pass me when it tried.. well when i got back into town, i got tailed and pulled over by a cop.. they snitched on me for not letting them pass me in a 45 mph road when they were clearly.. tryna do 60+... cop search ride (no beer in truck) put the weed on my person.. he searched truck and let me go.

peace

A-bleeding-men.
And, I was holding on to that crap when I moved to Hawaii.
On dis island, it's very "laid back" folks don't even blow their horns, and we're just starting to get traffic lights. and stop signs.

But, fresh from N.Cal. traffic, my adrenalin starts pumping as soon as I leave the driveway.
Every one else is incompetent and/or malicious.
Grrrr!

When I got to Kailua, 'bout the 4th time driving here, 2 wahinis in a Mustang ragtop crossed a solid lane marker into MY LANE , (but didn't actually get any closer to my car than about 10 feet.)

Rage-on! :mad::mad::mad:

I just had to catch up, and rolled down my passenger window to school dese idiots and/or say a few hurtful things.:fight:

Before, I went off, they both turned to me and said, with big smiles, "we love you" den blew me a kiss.:bis:

That took the wind outta my sails.:petting:
Went from a spluttering, road rage idiot to havin' a great day in 3.5 seconds.
(Yeah Adrenaline's not only fight or flight, it can be a very nice high with a little direction):ying:
Reminded me why I moved here too.:joint:

I have since, done a variation.
When I screw up, (we all do, ya know,) I try to crack da first smile, and I say " My bad, sorry, brah!"
So far, it's saved me a lot of ugly.

Aloha,
