I know we see posts like this pretty often in here, but I’ve lived here 20 years and there seems to be a pretty big uptick even in just the past few months.
The other day i dealt with two incidents of incredibly angry drivers. One dude tried to run me off the road and brake checked me several times while going 70 in a 45 (it was apparently upset that he had to slow down because I was going to speed limit on Sahara?) and the other didn’t like that I got in front of him (it was a zipper! I had to!) and when he finally got next to me, he told me that he hopes that I die and then I’m a worthless bitch. I did absolutely nothing to provoke it, and I did not respond.
Normally, I would agree that there is a common denominator, but in both cases, I had a passenger in my vehicle and they assured me that my driving was fine and I didn’t do anything wrong other than apparently obeying traffic laws. What gives? I get it that things are stressful right now for everybody out there, but I just don’t see the point of being that full of rage and getting that worked up. Go to therapy.
