You know how I know your gay? 
But getting back on topic...I have only 2 real cases where I flew off the handle to the point where it was enough to want to shoot someone on the spot.
One was a guy on the highway trying to run me off the road. He was tailing my ass real close, so I started slamming my brakes in quick bursts. I could hear his tires screeching as he slammed on his to avoid hitting me. He then proceeds to try and kill me by passing me and veering into my lane about 5 times. We are doing about 60 at this point, mind you. At some point common sense kicked in and I was like, "F#*@ this...not worth getting killed over this!"
My more recent one was about a year ago when some guy thought I was on his ass too close for a stretch of highway construction. I was just crusing with no real intent to piss anyone off, talking to my stepdad next to me. Next thing I know ishe's now behind me, on my bumper, trying the same shit as the last guy above. I start weaving in and out and gunning it to shake him, and he's right behind me like a crazy man trying to catch up, matching me move for move. We ended up getting off at the same exit where we both slammed on the brakes at the light and start MotherF#*ing each other! You have to remember that at this point, I don't even realize what his problem is because I wasn't tailing him earlier, in my mind. Instinctively I reach for my Glock in my glovebox...am licensed to carry and was a licensed firearms dealer back then and still am an avid shooter. I didn't show it to the guy but felt like using it on him. Here's the kicker: He yells at me, "I've got kids in the car, and you're riding my ass like a maniac!" I guess that gave him reason enough to then start weaving in and out of thick traffic doing 90mph like a wild man...to give his kids a good lesson about what not to do!
My stepdad was in the car and is one of those stocky, old-timer Marine types, who was also former boxing champ in college. He always loves a good scrap, even at 70 and had unbuckled his seat belt just in case he had to throw down! Luckily it didn't come to that, but I was so fired up for the next few hours!!! It really got the blood boiling.I always keep my "peacemaker" in my ride. You never know who you are going to meet on the friendly highways. It ain't worth a bullet, though, and you never know who's also got one with your name on it....so let's all chill out!

you'll find that just letting these dumb butts go, without honking or swearing at them, much more pleasing at the end. just let them do whatever, cut you off, and you were able to stop in time without an accident, just let them go...don't honk, don't yell... show no emotion, just let it be. in the end, you'll feel much better as a person, and plus you forget it sooner without becoming too stressed out yourself. hope you know what I mean. I don't really care for the idiots on the road anymore, i just leave them alone, let them go about with their stupidity, I just try to be very careful not to hit them or enable them to hit me. I've finally accepted that there are those idiots on the road, and honking, swearing, and starting something with them, won't change the fact that there's an exact cheap replica of this idiot tomorrow doing the exact same thing, so I just accept them and forget about it. I find myself much more happier and at peace.
