Road rage!

I try to be chill about most things in my personal life. I still rage about the great injustices in the world, but do my very best to keep my cool in most of my daily dealings. But the only things that get me properly angry are computers that won't do what they are bloody well told, and bad drivers. 

I've never actually got into a face to face confrontation with another driver, but I'm frequently cursing out the window, and really have to watch my language when the kids are in the car.

There's just something about the breaking of the social contract that is really fucking irritating about terrible drivers. The only way any traffic system works is because we all agree to follow the rules, stick to the right side of the road, give way when we should, and generally be aware of your surroundings.

People who ignore these rules, who bring six lanes of traffic to a halt because actually they really need to go this way, are a metaphor for all the selfishness of modern life. If you can't give way to a bus pulling out, or slow down for every pedestrian crossing, what are you even doing out in society? Go live on an island or something and stop putting the rest of us at risk.

If you're driving 20 kays under the limit, or not moving out into a busy roundabout when the way is clear, there is a very good chance you are a blight on all modern society. Fortunately, most of us follow the rules, and the system rolls along, more or less, but that majority are all cursing the person who zooms ahead in the wrong lane and cuts in front of everybody. We all hate you.
