Rage...
I must be keeping a lot of things inside me. As I was driving today, I almost lost it. I was trying to merge into the highway and some idiot sped up and I drove on the shoulder. I honked and was rewarded with a finger. I felt nothing but anger and in my mind, he was the cause of all my problems. I didn't even notice if there were any other cars around. I quickly caught up to him and did some stuff I shouldn't have done. Luckily he peeled off to an exit and I headed to the main highway.
After that I took some deep breaths and regained my sanity. I think I need to meditate.

What a dickhead.
You did the right thing Matty!
Easy, there!!!
Jerks on the road can be really annoying, I feel like killing them sometimes - but that's just for a moment. lol
ugh, road rage is the worst. even i get a case of it at times; i think we're more susceptible to it because driving (particularly merging onto highways) is a high-risk situation that already has us tense. i guess the best attitude is to brush it off, but it's not so easy sometimes.

Yes take a deep breadth! Thank goodness he didn't retaliate back.
you and me both. meditating, that is. you know what, Matt? it's all about timing. maybe you were having THAT kind of a day and this A-hole was just asking for it. totally and utterly justifiable, if you ask me! if he caught you on a different day, you might have reacted differently. but he didn't. so F him! yep, i had a similar day too. =) hang in there. i'm thinking about busting out my p90x yoga dvd in a minute. -carolyn
Be careful Mattie. Let the idiots do their thing. They are supposed to do idiotic things like that. At this time, take control of your anger. I bet that guy pee'd in his pants when he saw you coming after him, and I am sure he will never do such an idiotic thing again.
I rage like that too at times. I'm sometime tempted to bring my laser pointer in my car so when someone does that to me I shoot the laser to blind them. Of course, I then think about the possible consequences and decide against it haha.
@yang1815 - oh Andy... we both know 2 wrongs don't make a right. A lapse in judgment.... sigh. Sometime these moods just get the better of me.
@slmret - I will have to count to 10 next time.
@carpe_diem99 - yeah, usually I just let it go but that day I just lost it for a split second.
@kunhuo42 - maybe I should take up running again. You've always struck me as someone who controls his emotions very well.
@tsotofu - I wonder if you can write an entry using only emoticons.
@Mal_P - several deep breaths... and count to 10 too!
@caki730 - P90X yoga? That sounds interesting and very demanding.
@ZSA_MD - I should just let it go ... I wasn't having a great day and should realize that I'm more susceptible to these things during those kind of days.
@Roadlesstaken - I want a big laser gun... not just a pointer.
man, i know the feeling. some people are truly truly bad drivers and they don't know what kind of harm they're doing to other motorists.

@ElusiveWords - That makes two of us!
the merge lane must always "yield" regardless, or you go into the shoulder. noobsters..
Sounds like you're stressed =(
Massage or vacation time?
@Devilzgaysianboi - yeah, I'm pretty stressed out some days.
@ThePrince - some days it's just like a video game out there. What bugs me is that it's a short merging lane and he sped up to prevent me from merging in. He could have easily moved over and swing back again. Grr...
