• @hippy You might be ready/willing/able to argue about stuff but many of us are not. In fact I find if I adopt a mode of ‘I will inform this person of their error’ or ‘that twat needs a earful’ I generally get wound up, upset, shouty/trembly bottom lip and usually fail in saying or doing anything that really improves a situation. I don’t think (when a driver acts selfishly or aggressively) that I can do anything other than allow it to continue, and when I don’t, my heart rate and stress goes through the fucking roof.

  • I have a problem whereby I become pleasant but very sarcastic, which gets me in more trouble than I would have been otherwise e.g.
    'Does your Dad know you've borrowed his van?'
    'Oh did I embarrass you in front of all of your mates?' (when one other person is sat in the car)
    or in the case of the other day when I offered angry man's companion a towel to dry him off after copping a face full of water from the bottle that was launched at me.
    etc...

    I think you're right @Skülly - it's not worth it. Better to stay alive and well and get to wherever you're going sans aneurysm.

  • Yeah, I'm too ragey. I probably calmly address the issue 50% of the time or just ignore it and shake my head and the other 50% I'm looking for a fight. It's dumb, I know it's dumb and I try and get better but it's fucking wired in pretty deep. Definitely my father's son.
