I don't mean in a going postal/all out road rage way, but more in a HURRY THE FUCK UP or WHY THE FUCK ARE YOU JUST SITTING THERE or WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING kind of way. How many times do you say shit like that in your daily commute or your average 20 minute drive around town?

Prob average 2-3 times on EACH commute, this includes having to stop at poorly timed stop lights (fucking centennial parkway).

In defense of road ragers, there are an awful lot of incredibly shitty drivers out there.

I have flicked someone off before for honking at me immediately when the light turned green. Dude, chill. Was not a good in hindsight obviously, he followed me for two stop lights and the rolled down his window and mouthed god knows what racial slur... chink or spick, whatever, I could pass for a Mexican. Luckily my boyfriend at the time was with me. I got, " are you fucking stupid" all the way home, though.

Now I just scream profanities to myself a lot.

4-5 times a day I think "What the fuck are you doing" Drive up beside them to see them texting.

Definitely depends on how many fucktards I unluckily happen to come across.

On rare days I luck out and keep my blood pressure at a reasonable level. Some days I have 10 wtf moments that necessitate multiple f-bombs on my 3 mile commute.

Yesterday I almost got t-boned twice in that fucking 3 miles.

Probably once every other week. It's not worth it to get worked up considering all the shitty drivers you encounter every day.

Not very. I usually just say something like "ugh...what would possess you to do that?"

I will say though that my level of road rage can usually be defined as:



Where X is the time I've spent in the car, and Y is the time in minutes of how late I am

all the motherfucking time. when I come to a light just as it's turning red, I sit there moaning and groaning out loud like a child. also, the only time I say "faggot" is when I'm driving, I've probably spoken the phrase "motherfucking faggot piece of shit" 100 times in the past 5 years.

I didn't used to be so road-ragey...then I quit smoking. now I hate traffic so much that it almost hurts. I don't think it's ever going to go away...my dad quit smoking like 30 years ago and he says driving still sucks about as bad as it did when he first quit.

I refer to bad drivers as either "motherfucker" or "bitch", depending on their gender

It rarely gets to me if I'm not on a tight schedule, but if I have stuff to do and the clock is ticking, I'm more likely to get perturbed.

^There was a study that said being stuck in traffic can be more stressful than being a fighter pilot in combat or a soldier in war I believe. Because in the latter 2 situations, you can take action to do something. In traffic, you're pretty much have no control.

You can honk, tailgate, flip off etc. You can definitely influence the actions of others...but it's usually not advisable

only times i really get angry is when i'm in line in the right lane to get onto an exit ramp in heavy traffic and assholes think they can drive all the way up to the exit ramp, stop in the middle lane with their turn signal and cut you off. I leave absolutely no room for those douchebags.

^But the question of the thread is, do you say anything about it, out loud?

^^ For sure, in traffic congestion/stop and go traffic you obviously have no control...but it's pretty rare that's when I get upset. It's sitting at a green light with some dumbass in front of me who won't put their phone down. Some shithead trying to change into my lane without seeing if anyone is there. Someone tailgating me without any cause. Some asshole going 10 under riding their brakes down the hill etc

If I'm driving and there are others on the road around me, chances are good that I'm yelling or cussing at them for some reason. I'm a patient person in general, but have zero tolerance for idiocy - in person or on the road.

I used to do it several times everyday on my commute to/from work when I lived in Columbia. Now that I live a few blocks from work in downtown W-S, the daily, casual walk is SOOOOOO much better.

I do it a lot when I am by myself. Driving down capital every day twice will do that to you. The only time our son has heard me curse was driving to the beach and there was a guy obviously driving drunk down I-40 so after calling the cops to report him I had to get around the guy and his window was down so I couldnt help myself but yell as loud as I could GET THE FUCK OFF THE ROAD DUMBASS as I passed him.

I don't get road ragey unless someone is riding my tail where there is someone in front of me that I can't get around, and the person behind me can clearly see that it isn't me that is holding up the show.

But I really really hate that shit.

on a short drive, rarely. on a longer drive (30+ mins), i get kinda restless and easily frustrated as the drive goes on.

i mostly just say "you dumb piece of shit" and "jesus fucking christ this is ridiculous"

I only have one thing that i recall thats really sets me into rage. I mean like step out your car and scream rage.

When cars block an intersection by entering it KNOWING DAMNED WELL THAT THEY WILL NOT CLEAR IT WHEN THE LIGHT CHANGES.

Your fucking up traffic, and stealing other people time because your an asshole.

or if a cager tries to kill me on the motorcycle.

^^ OH MAN, I had an instance where that happened that I don't want to forget. I was turning left at a light and parallel oncoming traffic did that. Stopped up this enormous fucking intersection. It wasn't just 1-2 cars. Anyway, as soon as they inched up just enough for me to make my turn, since no one was behind me, I took my sweet ass time going through the intersection with the horn blaring and arm-fully-extended-middle-finger-doing-it-as-hard-as-i-possible-can the entire time. Top was down on the convertible and everything. The look on each one of those cocksuckers faces made it worth every second. Most had this "omg, what did i do?!?!?!?!" look.

crowd. I probably am calling someone a thundercunt, hotard, dumbass, retard, dickhead, etc at least 5/6 times per trip down 40 from RTP to downtown. But then again, there's a bunch of dumbass drivers out there, too include cops. I've flipped off several cops after honking at them for drifting into my lane while they're texting or fucking around on their phone. Each time they find another lane and just take the hell off.

I'm seriously considering a dash-cam.

^ Was out to get food the other night. I was turning left - oncoming traffic had a red, but i saw flashing lights coming around the corner so I stopped at the light to let the cop through. Well, this cocksucker still basically slams on brakes for the light. I flash him so he'll go through...he power brakes the shit out of that charger and smokes up the place before flying through the intersection...then turned off his lights.

I only get road rage when I go back to Raleigh nowadays. It irritates the shit out of me that drivers in Raleigh can manage to turn the interstate into a total clusterfuck of a traffic jam with only a third of the amount of traffic it takes to cause a slowdown on interstates around DC and Baltimore.

It also helps that Maryland is 100 times better at planning out highway development.

How about how about mother fuckers who change lanes approaching a red light so they can be first in line, where otherwise you would be first, and then when the light turns green, they go slow as fuck. That shit kills me.

This.

Situation allowing I enjoy passing these people on the right and as soon as I'm like 3-4 feet clear merging back into the left lane. I'd say half of the time the driver slams on the brakes. Lol

I also enjoy laughing at dumb asses who get all bent out of shape/try to drive aggressively when traffic is literally bumper to bumper in all lanes and nobody is getting anywhere faster than another.

What I really love is when myself and another driver get on the same level and punish idiot drivers by boxing them in, etc. Doesn't happen often but when it does it's fucking magical and hilarious.
