Pure raging!
Funny how your style of driving depends what mood you're in. This morning as it was the dreaded Monday morning after a lovely weekend off I wasn't in the best of moods and took it out on other drivers by ensuring that if I was in a faster lane than the one beside me there was no way I was going to let anybody in with ease. And those that did dare to edge in were met with my hands waving in the air gesture and a "Oh my god, what on earth do you think that vehicle manoeuvre was all about" rant (If they'd looked in their rear view mirror). I arrived at work bitter.... cheated..... used....
Whereas on the way home I was in a good mood, the day had gone well, there were only four more days to work, so I was Mr Nice. Waving those around me into my lane, giving those I made eye contact with, a winning smile....ahh the open road...and all that. I arrived home refreshed....calm....at one with my fellow man.
Yes, I know there's a lesson to be learned but I just don't know if I've learned it...
Anyway, let the battle commence all over again tomorrow!
Oh, and the 'staring at people day' never happened. I tried it for about 2 seconds and realised it was just plain weird and called a halt to proceedings.

I used to get train rage boarding the 8.02am at Dunfermline with the other Reggie Perrins...the simmering hostility from people jostling for a seat used to annoy me - now I just laugh it off. It's only a seat!
ReplyDeleteI saw a fight on a train once. Dalmeny to Edinburgh. The briefcases were flying!
