A few days ago my co-worker came in all shooken up, she had accidentally cut off another woman on the freeway, and this lady followed her off the freeway, and on the surface streets all the way to work, my co-worker trying to lose her, eventually parking across the street. So we all went outside and walked her to her car, hoping to not see this crazy lady. Then the rest of the day was talking about road rage and everyone's experiences with crazy drivers.
Last night I told my buddy about this, and then WE started talking about what you do when someone disrespects you. I told him of a time when I had accidentally cut a chick off, and she followed me down the street for a few blocks, blaring her horn at me the entire time. He was like "you should have gotten out of your car and started screaming at her" which is what he would do. That's not really my style.
So this morning I am thinking of a time when my buddy got into some dumb stuff with someone on the road, and my friend actually got out of the car and threatened the other guy, who called the police and said my friend had a gun.... so I was thinking this today how in the moment of anger we can do some really stupid, negative stuff.
A few minutes ago my same friend called me and told me that his cousin (who I know a little) was in a bar-fight last night, some guy beat him over the head with a pool-cue and he had to go to the emergency room (he's going to be fine.)
So a few days of thinking about rage, talking about rage, and now this. So I have to assume I created this guy I know getting beat with a pool cue? This I don't like. It almost makes me scared to think!
