\r\n \r\n I think the biggest problem is that most people are severely stressed out and don\'t know how to deal with it properly. That is why they yell and scream for little reason, but their anger should be properly channeled.
\n
\nYoga, exercise, and meditation would be beneficial, however most people probably don\'t even realize just how angry they are, and with another 4 years of Obama, you can bet things will only get worse.
\n
\nAs for that white trash lady, lucky for you she doesn\'t carry a 9mm weapon in the glove box... she may have just been angry enough to use it..\r\n

\r\n \r\n That guy in the bar was probably feeling not only rejected by your friend, but also jealous of you, as another male in her life. Completely normal reaction, but the rudeness was likely amplified by a few beers under his belt.
\n
\nI\'ve been lightly rear-ended twice in the past, once in a parking lot, and once on the street waiting for a red light to turn. In both instances the people were very apologetic, and a minor scratch was forgiven by me.
\n
\nI don\'t think I would ever jump out of my car and be so enraged to be screaming and yelling...but, if I was visibly annoyed at the carelessness of the bumper woman, and her friend started calling me white trash, I\'d likely start dropping some F-bombs myself. After all, I\'m the one, regardless of how minor, is inconvenienced in that situation.
\n
\nAs anal as it may seem, if I\'m not sure of the distance behind my car and the car behind me, I get out and look...worth the effort, IMO.\r\n

\r\n \r\n here is a good one: the guy whose GF dumped him: She was always telling me how he likes pills and she is sick of it. One day he accidently calls someone who he thought was someone else (while wasted) to ask for 30 xanax and 2 biscuits (whatever those are)\r\n

\r\n \r\n Many people feel like they are the victim. Wages haven\'t kept up with inflation over the last 10 years yet companies have increased prices over the same time period and the cost of living has gone up and people feel squeezed. I feel like an exception. My income has risen steadily over the last 5 years and an early retirement seems possible, so when a driver bumped me from behind and scratched my bumper, we talked and both agreed it would be less than our deductibles and I just let it go. A lot depends on your situation in life or even what kind of a day you\'ve been having.\r\n

\r\n \r\n Yes, but it seems that people who are generally positive and loving tend to find themselves in positive and loving situations and those who are negative and hateful tend to find themselves in negative and hateful situations.

\r\n \r\n And there are a whole lot a folks on drugs. For this and that. Then there is their nutrient deficient diets. Too much caffeine? Restless sleep? Lack of SUN? Ill health?
\n
\nIt seems that rage goes from 0-60 in a nanosecond any more. UNREAL. Not too many have any patience, let alone compassion for another\'s "failings."
\n
\nI try to be reasonable, allow an explanation - even be forgiving.
\n
\nBut I know of a person that was screamed at for not opening the door for Ms. Screamer while she was pushing a stroller! The woman came unglued. The other woman just ignored her while walking away.
\n
\nI seem to get irritated at the many, unruly toddlers allowed to roam stores - while their oblivious mothers shop. I have been tripped, shoved, had to walk around the broken glass from their knocking things off shelves and have to put up with the crying whinies when they are FINALLY brought to parent.
\n
\nIt\'s no wonder I order everything online. I have been known to mutter *LOUDLY near the parents that their kids are \'tomorrows gang bangers\' since they don\'t have a parent that cares enough to TEND TO THEM in public. Why do I have to have MY experience ruined by someone\'s out of control BRAT?!!? For it seems even the MOTHER wants nothing of the kid *why have them, anyway? (Have they not heard of child abduction? Or have they?)

\nSee?\r\n

\nHypothetical - I will show you my car to show off, but I certainly won\'t let you drive it, and don\'t touch. This is my lady - stay away. Even if I let her go, I don\'t want anyone moving in on my "territory". Which of course means that I can\'t really let her go.

\nThen the natural instinct of competition is another driving influence of men.\r\n
