    I'm retired and living in a place surrounded by trees on 3.95 sides (there's a space for the driveway). I find it difficult to get outraged anymore. I watch the chipmunks get outraged by other chipmunks trying to get at the bird feeder or at the red squirrels. I saw some ravens expressing noisy outrage this morning. Life's too short to spend time being outraged. Anger shortens your life.

    That's the outrage......they've had plenty of notice, like everyone else, yet they wait until the lane is narrowing down to one, then try to crowd in front of everyone.

    I haven't done that for a long time, I rarely drive on the interstate now.

    "Getting even" in traffic is a very foolish attitude. If you get where you are going in a normal amount of time, your trip is a victory.
    Cutting in front of others and honking the second the light changes are infantile attitudes.

    Now, THEY were the ones who were outraged, because they couldn't cut in front of everyone at the front of the line.
    I still do it. Get on the CB with the truckers and coordinate the blocking.
    One or two of them will ride the side lane and create a rolling road block.
    It's fun and breaks up the drive.
    Nothing the cops can do as long as they keep moving slowly.
    Then we let them back in when they reach the pylons.
    Like Abby says it transfers the outrage to the idiot that couldn't just get in line like others.

    Boston is right up there with them but come to think of it Bostonians are the rudest people in the known universe, even worse than the French
