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 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.

    My friend just says: "They must have reached a plateau in their career and their partner doesn't understand them".

    I just think, "Sooner or later, crazy driving like that is going to get that person killed." and then I feel better.
