still become enraged while driving. They cuss and scream at other drivers.
I said "relax", they say it's good to vent. I say it's good not to get angry to begin
with. Sure, there are some really shitty drivers out there. Some are old
and probably shouldn't be driving. Some are texting, some are merely discourteous.
But getting worked up about something that you can't change only makes
you toxic.
