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?

Southern CaliforniaSo, seeing as I live in SoCal, it's a perfect setting for road rage of the highest order.
I've instigated most of my road rage incidents..
1: On the 405 freeway, in rush hour traffic (it takes 2 hours to do a 40 minute drive) in the morning, some blonde is putting her makeup on. While driving. She gets off the same exit as me, and is swerving all over the road. I'm yelling at her that she's a stupid bitch, which she can't hear and then proceeds to put on her eyeliner......in the fucking car........while driving.....and swerving.
I honk at her, she slams the brake on in free flowing traffic.
I slip into the lane next to her and yell obscenities out of my window and flip her off.
The guy behind me pulled up at the next lights and gave me a thumbs up!
2: Husband is driving us home from dinner one night, some idiot cuts in front of us causing him to slam brakes on. He then chases this guy for about 1/2 mile and they play cat and mouse with each other for another mile! Scared the crap out of me!
3: Driving out for lunch today, my light turns green....just as I'm about to pull away a car comes through the red light.....I honk and give him the finger.
I wouldn't mind, but I'm a girly! And never mind the Chinese lady who eats her bowl of cereal while driving to work, doing 40 in the outside lane of the freeway!
