Tundras live: Agree to disagree (a lesson in civility)

Dude was being an asshole for sure. But I’ve been doing my best not to get road rage. Letting the guy in who’s driving like an asshole doesn’t phase me much. Sure, I’ll race around in traffic a bit, but I don’t cut people off or weave in and out of traffic like it’s nascar. Usually it’s just off the line from pole position until I reach my desired speed. I try to leave early so I can leave some space and get there safely without worrying about time - frustratedly racing to get there 2 minutes sooner. Then I’m late and in a bad mood.

We’ve got a stop sign at the front of the community where 2 lanes turns into 1 for that direction of traffic 500’ after the stop. I’ll get on it a bit, but If the guy is next to me on the other side of the intersection I back off and let them have it. I just don’t like sitting behind granny driver who takes 2000 yards to get up to the 30mph speed limit. I’ll do 5 over, but some like to do 45.

Just a different approach. Thought it was worth mentioning.

Isn’t it strange that we are always IN traffic but never a part of it?

 

Normally I do the same, but when it’s so blatant and I’m in a “mood” not having it. Get in line line everyone else. Why be so aggressive to move up 2 spots. It ain’t NASCAR.

 

Same ol same ol glad it’s Friday

 

Just made last call at Newark airport

 

Just realized, it’s real pints

 

I get what your saying. I’m that way some times too. Trying not to be though chances are I’ll just be getting my self worked up for nothing. Me being an asshole won’t likely change his behavior. All I get out of the experience is a shorter fuse and angry for a while (takes me quite a while to cool off, so I try not to get there)

Another thing that was pointed out to me: we make assumptions about other people based on very little information. That guy could have been rushing to make sure his kid was ok who just got in a nasty accident... or pick up his sister from a iminantly threatening domestic violence situation.

The analogy is usually: someone in traffic doing 10 under holding everyone else up. You get an opportunity to pass and speed by throwing up the bird and hammering on your horn, and when you look over it’s sweet Janet from accounting or your next door neighbor who always takes time to say hello. That person who was an “asshole” a moment ago instantly transformed and now you’re the asshole that has to hang your head at your next casual encounter.

But again. I get it. Some times were already hot and it’s one of those “not today you fucker!!” Moments. I’m just trying to have less of those - again, seemed worth mentioning.

 

It's going to be a long night!

 

REDRUM!

 

Nice Kevin,

Did you guys build the PC!

 

Yes with help of a friend. I'm PC illiterate. He told us what to order and helped us put it together.

 

I learned to build them at a younger age and it really is a lot of fun, especially when your done and turn it on for the first time! Thats a good bonding time for you guys and next time it gets easier! You should build one for you and you both can game together! Heck I've played the entire Battle field series, still play Battle field 4 and I'm an old 57!

 

I learned to build them in high school, I’ve built a dozen since, still enjoy the process, just don’t really need that kind of power these days.

 

Man that sucks....but glad it didn't do any damage!
