    I used to but not so much anymore. I have over an hour commute in heavy traffic each way to get to my office, and if I let every jerk on the road piss me off, I'd arrive a disaster. I just stay out of people's way and sing really loud in the car now.

    Not a driver but I do get trolley rage in the supermarket!

    I hate those that clog the aisles gossiping, the family meetings to decide which strawberry jam to get, the parents that let their kids run up and down the aisles, the ones eating the goods before check out...grrrr. I'm not quiet or polite about eejits shopping, don't quite turn the air blue but those that annoy me definitely know they have!

    Online shopping is the way to go for me!

    lol I've done this several times!

    And I do have road rage. I try to stay calm, but sometimes I just can't!

    One of my biggest pet peeves on the road is people who pull out in front of me like a maniac last minute, then slow down to almost 0 and keep driving that slow. Especially if no one is behind me and they do that. Why the heck not wait til I go by???

    my drive to work isn't complete without giving someone the finger haha. I had a guy go 15mph under the speed limit one night last week on a one lane highway, so of course I was pretty close. The jerk then pulls over gets behind me, speeds up so he's on my bumper and turns on these bright yellow high beams on his crappy Acura Integra. I then had to ride my breaks the rest of the road while giving him the finger. Screw you man.

    I hate when I get into the right lane on the highway to take an exit, and I'm going OVER the speed limit, and somoene moves behind me and rides my bumper because they apparently want me to drive 90mph.

    Dude, it's the slow lane for a reason.

    Hate it when people tail gate!!! I also get irrationally angry when people put my child's life in danger by not paying attention/talking on the phone/driving aggressively etc.

    I have this to different degrees and depending on what I am driving warrants deferment responses.

    On my motorcycle I will ride up next to your passenger side and flip your side mirror back. Passenger side because you can not move it back without getting out of your car. And this move is done to the ones that really are not paying attention and using their mirrors or heads. Out side of that you get a crack of the pipes.

    In my truck, jeep or any 4wheel cage you get to have your wings clipped or the feeling of a train barreling down on your dumbazz. I figure maybe I can scare your *kitten* into waking up and paying attention just a little bit.

    i used to have road rage to the extreme. this one time a big truck cut me off once and i was incensed! i caught up to him at the next light, screaming out the window flipping the bird and generally being crazed. the guy did the same back to me and i lost it. i got out of my car and intended on beating the guy with his own arm. well, he got out too, but with a bat. a guy in a car that was also stopped got out of his car and stopped the truck driver and got him to get back in his truck, he then yelled to me, "dont be stupid, get back in your car" and waited until i did before he got back in his own.

    i was still crazed, but now i was scared too. it really calmed me down. the knowledge that i could have been killed finally got thru to me that road rage is stupid and you should just let it go. i still talk to other drivers when they do stupid stuff, but for the most part i drive straight. if someone cuts me off, i call them stupid and get on with my day.

    road rage doesnt help anything, it just makes you look stupid.

    2 weeks ago i was driving with my buddy while this guy cut me, so i cut him off, he has a Toyota and i have a rx8, I kept him behind me the whole way. He gave me the finger and i did as well, he then continued to follow me and started flashing a badge at me and telling me to pull over. I shook my head no and floored it. He followed me all the way to the mall and he got out of his little car and started yelling at me saying i should of pulled over he is a cop when it turns out he was a security guard for a best buy. I laughed in his face and while i walked away he screamed laugh at this Mother F*** and he then keyed my car, that's when i ended up doing a overnight-er and i have to go to anger class.. Luckily my car has cameras on it, yes i am one of those guys and the video is now evidence :) retarded guy. He is now in jail and i pressed charges on him. My hands are doing a lot better.

    I'm ok in traffic, I get "road rage" in Wal-Mart! hahaha :explode:

    DING-DING-DING What's with this whole "park my cart in the MIDDLE of the isle while I stand next to it staring at 2 brands of the same food item" crap?!
    Here's another of my favorites: I enter on one side of the store and immediately hightail it down the wide front aisle to the other side to start shopping. I'm moving at a serious clip and there's almost always someone about 30 feet ahead of me "listing lazily to the left" until I have no room to pass them and have to swerve to the right when I'm only a couple of feet away. I feel like getting some trailer lights from automotive and strapping them to their @$$! :explode:
    There should be some rules like in the DC area metro. If you're on the escalator to start, get your @SS to the right so us active people can walk up on the left! Very efficient method and rarely do the blue-hairs get run over! <bad joke> :embarassed:

    Oh, one more thing about road rage. I actually LOVE when some @$$hole zips past me doing 20+ over the speed limit on the highway, as long as they aren't swerving wildly or tailgating to the extreme. I call'm "decoys". Several times a year I see it happen and they lure Po-Po outta hiding and get pulled over. It's a public service... clearing the road for me to do 15 above the speed limit! I actually salute them as they go by!

    *Edit: Now if I could only figure out why they always travel in 2s and 3s...!

    I have major road rage, but this one is the thing that agitates me the most

    I do... The other day, I hit the brakes and my 2 yr old said "what's wrong mommy, those ****ing damn cars?!" SO yes, I am watching my vocab while driving with him now. (I have an hour commute each way, so this is a struggle!)

    My opinion is that with any one exhibiting road rage is that you may need to rethink your life and your goals and get a grip.Anger is a waste of time and totally unnecessary. .

    I occasionally got road rage, but now that I've moved to this town, I have road rage ALL THE TIME. The people here see a 45 mph sign and can't make their cars go over 30. My drive to and from work is already 45 minutes, but when I get stuck behind morons like that, it takes even longer. Makes me crazy!
