Road RageLast week I had to stop a guy attacking another one in the middle of the road - one had run the lights whilst on the phone and the other had objected. I actually had to take the attacker's car keys out of their car and tell him he wasn't getting them back till he calmed down.
Looking back on it, I was lucky I was feeling all parental and in control or the situation could have panned out very differently.
Have you lost it on the roads, or have you been on the recieving end of some nutter?

and then, there's not-even-on-the-road-yet ragethe scene: a saturday afternoon at home. i'm in the process of getting my driver's license, and state law requires me to drive a total of 12 hours with a parent before an instructor can give me a lesson. mom's got somewhere to go in half an hour, but she has a bit of time free now.
tinyninja: mom, can we go out driving?
mama ninja: no, sweetie.
tinyninja: why not? you're just sitting there.
mama ninja: it's too windy.
note: i'm from New England, not tornado country. the woman, bless her, remains terrified of driving with me - and i'm a safe driver! she will use any, but ANY excuse to keep me from driving.
tinyninja: let's go Mom, I'll drive.
mama ninja: no, honey, let's just get there.
wtf? because when i'm at the wheel we wind up in Kalamazoo?
