Boyfriend has roadrage

  • Come to think of it.... he has rage at the movies too. He will start fights if someone doesn't sit quick enough or if they walk in late. It's annoying, yes but start a fight?

    Me thinks we have a troll. . . .

    Yeah, I'm the troll. :rollseyes:

    Why does everyone take driving so seriously? Is anyone really going anywhere THAT important? I always drive 5 under the speed limit. Just leave earlier if you're on some sort of deadline or you're on your way to work. If you're getting off work why rush anyways? You're already off.

    because I don't like wasting my life away sitting in a car behind a bunch of idiots driving slow in the fast lane or texting when the light is green instead of driving. Thats what roads are for, driving and getting to where you are going not relaxing and exting all your friends.

    LOL I dunno. Move closer to your job. My commute used to be 15 minutes (6 miles) and it's about 30 minutes (15 miles) now. People force themselves in to a rushed lifestyle then whine when everyone doesn't want to go 900 miles an hour like they do. You're not going anywhere important. Settling down grumpy.

    No need to go 900mph, but when the spped limit is 70 and the sign says "slow traffic keep right" and you are in the left lane going 60MPH you are an idiot. If you are at a stop light texting and not moving when it turns green you are an idiot. If you are on the phone and oblivious to your surroundings while driving then you are an idiot. See the pattern? People who don't want to drive fast don't bother me, wanna drive slow? fine, get the hell out of the way and drive slow.

    Why? You want your BF to change but don't want to change and find a middle ground. This a public forum, can't take the heat don't post.

    I'm taking the heat, I told you to get your macho *kitten* off my thread!!

    I offered to drive! Read the entire thread big mouth!

    Some one has anger issues. LMAO. You should join him in anger management . Therapists give discounts for couples with anger management issues.

    I have internet anger with people who have no place in my topics.

    people who live in glass houses.
  • dumb question... does he have this rage (road and movie) when the 2 of you are not together? Like, maybe this is just a toxic relationship and you guys bring out the worst in each other? It happens.
  • OP, your BF may have road rage, but it appears to me that you are afflicted with "forum rage".

    ETA: Just read more of the thread. Seems I'm not the only one to take that diagnosis. You and he are a match made in heaven.

    Thank you dear

    Not a dumb question..... Not sure of the road rage but I know he almost got into a fight at the movies with his son there.

    It's easy to be angry at a complete stranger on the road..tell him to pretend it's his mom/friend etc. you would easily shake your head and just think...damn my mom sucks at driving etc. rather than go into a fit of rage wishing you had built in machine guns to take out the stupid drivers that can't get the heck out of the way ...it's the fast lane....move over or get run over...

    I so wish it was legal to shoot people who do that.

    I want to shoot him!!! Me, the passenger!


    you hate him and want to shoot him. This sounds like a wonderful relationship.

    this. We should all be so lucky as to find a nice woman like her. LOL

    Not really. Just annoyed. I'm a very calm person. Even when I call someone an idiot. I say it calmly.

    Uh no, sorry but you sound like you have the same issue. (I used to and I learned to control my anger, screaming at a bad driver will not make them a better driver and it just ruins your day not theirs. learn patience grow up stop insulting the OP who has a valid concern (Rage driven people are also more likely to become abusive to others)

    Sounds like he needs a good shrink fast before he kills some innocent people.
  • Well, I think my time here is done.

    This place has proved a point to me and that is, there are so many losers in this world and I think they all reside on MFP.

    I came looking for some support and got shot down. Any one who thinks road rage is okay, I hope you have it with the wrong person. Maybe it'll be me. I need to go buy myself that gun!

    Those who were helpful. Thank you so much. I know what I need to do (I won't shoot him) :smile:

    Good bye and good riddance :wink:

    WTF? :huh:

    Sounds like some mandatory driving lessons for idiots would help clear a lot up. The OP needs to worry about herself more than her BF talking about someone raging out and shooting someone as her hero.

    Or get rid of his psycho GF sounds like a good 1st step.

    if you think for all men, then I'm screwed. I can't imagine wanting to be with someone I hated and wanted to shoot. Maybe I'm crazy....

    Not all men just the immature insecure ones in my experience. it's a testosterone thing :wink:

    I find it pretty sad that people are happy they drove someone off the board by being twats. You might call troll but she was a member since the beginning of the year and had posts beyond the thread. well done

    Wow, I never got a chance to respond.

    Well, if you're reading this, I agree with you 100% about this place and about the road rage. Fortunately I made some good friends here and I am doing my best to stay focused on the weight loss and not the anger bull that goes on around here.

    You need to leave your BF, I'm sorry but you really do. How many chances are you going to give him?

    As for everyone accusing you of having the anger, I think you did a great job holding your own.

    I'm out~

    Why does everyone take driving so seriously? Is anyone really going anywhere THAT important? I always drive 5 under the speed limit. Just leave earlier if you're on some sort of deadline or you're on your way to work. If you're getting off work why rush anyways? You're already off.

    The reason I take it seriously is because when you're operating a piece of equipment averaging 3,500-4,000 pounds 30,40,50+ mph, you have the potential to do a lot of harm if you're not paying attention. I get angry when I see stupid crap on the road because you're not only putting your life in danger, but you're putting mine and my childrens' lives in danger, and I do not take that lightly.

    Getting angry just makes you a more unsafe driver bad drivers won't go away being aware and taking that into account makes your trip safer

    Yes, she applauds people for shooting someone that got mad at them but her BF is the one with anger issues for yelling at people. LOL

    the response I responded to he was kidding and I knew so, so I was playing along with my response about being screwed, lol.

    I'm hyper aware, and I don't "rage" but neither will I deny that abject stupidity on the road makes me angry. That fight or flight response to danger? Yeah, I only have one setting, and it's not the flight one. Potential harm to my children (ie, nearly hitting my car) raises my hackles. To be honest, it didn't bother me too much before children...

    fair enough stupidity still raises my ire level too. I no longer react by yelling etc I learned a long time back to control my temper. Do I wish people paid attention to the rules of the road better though 100 % particularly on the highway whre people don't understand stay right (I mean stay right except to pass period, i don't give a toss how fast you are going but you need to stay right except when passing - busier highways have enough lanes that except during rush hour the leftmost lane should be pretty clear . This is something i find is far better in europe
