Instead of shooting people in the back of the head with my pretend hand gun I have come up with a new solution.
I give them a reason for their bad behaviour.
If I hold the door open for some idiot and they don't say thank you, or even smile at me, I say to myself "That guy must have been dropped on his head at birth, poor fellow."
Or if some halfwit cuts me off in traffic, I just breathe and think "Well obviously she has her head up her ass because her husband just left her for a man."
See? Stress be gone.

ooooh, good thinking. I'll have to try that. I find myself in those traffic situations all the time.
I usually go with, "Ooh, who pissed in your Cheerios?" or "Someone didn't get laid this morning . . ."
I do that too!!
I can blow off most rude behaviour unless I'm in the car. I have a road rage problem. Most of the time I'm content to just honk the horn and give them the bird but occasionally I'll lean out the window and hit them with a barrage of creative swearing.
BRILLIANT!!
My friend just says: "They must have reached a plateau in their career and their partner doesn't understand them".
You are my hero!
You are a better person that I, since I have a hard time letting rudeness pass in any way!! But it is a good plan...I may have to try that....give excuses for bad bahaviour.....hmmmmm. worth a try! lol
BTW....I know who Rick Mercer is!! (I am Canadian!) It's very cool that you met him!! Whoo hoooooooo
you are my hero
:)
I just think, "Sooner or later, crazy driving like that is going to get that person killed." and then I feel better.
you're a genius, lady
i'm gonna tell my co-workers about that and see where we take it from there
i do that too. because sometimes i hope people make the same excuses for me if i'm ever rude without knowing so.
when an idiot gives me the shits my thought is usally "who shat in your coffee this morning"
