Christian road rage

Everyone has probably experienced some road rage now and then.   Even Christians!  Even Buddhists!  About all you need is to drive a car for awhile in a major city.

Road rage certainly does depend solely upon your state of mind, like so many things.  Some days I am just on a peaceful plane and I wait patiently at all lights and creep along with the other drivers if that's what we have to do, never raising my voice at anyone.

Other days even the smallest infraction or hint of an infraction or just questionable driving techniques will bring out the road rager in me.  

It IS rather appalling how many, or few, people actually use their turn indications to turn.  I actively counted every person using and not using signals on one of my drives home one day and there were 20 uses of signals and 14 non-use, where it should have been used.  That's over 40% of people NOT using turn signals.  

And downtown, people slow down for no (apparent) reason, stopping to look closely at each intersection, even when the light is green!  Idiots!  How about knowing where you are going?!

Then you have the assholes who keep looking down at their phones, even after the light turns green.  And then they'll drive thru red lights! Traffic could move a whole lot smoother if people would quit looking at their phones or computers and pay attention!!

I better stop before I get too riled up.

I think we can all relate to this video, whether you're a believer or not.  He just can't say stuff like "goddamn stupid motherfucking cocksucker!"  Or if he does, he thinks he might burn in hell.  Haha!  What a fool!
