Road Rage

I was talking to someone recently commenting about traffic in this area and how crazy drivers are. She said she dealt with it by treating everyone as though they were mentally handicapped and that allowed her to be more patient with people. That’s pretty much the same strategy my sister uses with her coworkers. I decided to try that method on my commute to and from work and it helped a little. But then I came up with my own version of their method. I make up stories…

Wow, that guy blew right through that red light. He really must be in a hurry to get to the kennel to find his seeing-eye dog.

That woman didn’t mean to cut me off. She just really needs to get back to the soccer field where she left her baby on a picnic table.

That guy’s so nice. He’s cutting in front of everyone else merging so he can get the bag of ice cream and pickles home to his pregnant wife before the ice cream melts.
