Used to work with my older brother...he had an Isuzu pup pick up that we drove (I usually did the driving) one day he was just fed up with traffic. We waited through 4-5 cycles of a light ( knowing we had that same process at several more lights on a 45+ min drive home). So we are the first vehicle at the Red light waiting for it to turn green. Down the right hand turn lane comes a Miata and times the light and pulls right in front of us and takes off. My brother lost it. He's yelling at me to catch that @+#&@ Miata ( which had a rolling start obviously) brother starts looking for anything to throw ... Finds a golf ball and I have that poor Pups gas pedal floored and I start to come along side of the Miata but we are also coming up on traffic stopped at the next light...so my brother just wings this golf ball that immediately gets caught in the wind and falls miserably behind the Miata....who is also getting into the right turn lane..and then pulls the same maneuver at that light and ...was gone. My brother was never one for profanity but that traffic, that day and the thought of that Miata not having to endure what he had to endure..he just swore for about 5 straight min. Good thing we didn't actually catch that Miata though.

My friend’s dad is in Mexican prison for killing someone in a road rage incident.

Oddly enough, Mexican prison sounds pretty sweet. He gets Costco deliveries and has an iPhone.

I have a buddy who's 6'5", 270lbs, very intimidating but the nicest guy ever. He was in his wife's car getting the oil changed or something like that when two young guys flipped him off and laughed. My buddy ended up catching up to them at a gas station down the road putting gas. He parked to the pump next to them and as soon as he got out, the young guy dropped the nozzle and sped off. Didn't even put it back.

Too many guns out there nowadays & too many morons ready to whip their guns out over minor traffic issues. A friend is a retired State Trooper & he says that years ago Troopers were at the least intimidating and / or respected. So they caught no shite during traffic stops. Nowadays, State policy, whenever they are on patrol they have to wear their bullet proof, hot as shite, vests as they have no idea who is in the other car, carrying or not.

I'm usually pretty calm but one Saturday, my wife and I were at Lowe's in Carencro. She was about 8 months pregnant and we're leaving the store and some black woman driving a car, with her boyfriend in the passenger seat says, "Hurry up, you fat fricking bitch!".

Now, I didn't hear her say it, but I read her lips clearly. She sped off and I told my wife to hurry up and waddle to the car. They end up going to that gas station right next to the IHOP. Her boyfriend goes in and she stays in the car.

I pull up right next to her, she's on her phone so I honk, gave her the finger and said "frick YOU!". Her mouth dropped, she started honking like crazy for her boyfriend to come back. My wife told me to drive away so I did. I'm not sure if they came looking for us lol

I haven't been involved in any but saw 2 full size trucks jumping ahead of each other to brake check then ended up stopped by traffic and out the trucks in front of Deep South Crane. This went on up Airline from the Ford dealer to the DSC curve. Never wished I had a dash cam more than then.

When I’m close to the front of a line at a red light, they get 5 seconds after light turns green before I lay on the horn.

My wife just reminded me of this story that happened when we first started dating. It was a few weeks before Christmas and we're in Lafayette. This car pulls up on the side of us and it an older woman in a Mercedes, mid 60s with a young boy in the back seat, maybe 11 years old. She looks visibly distraught and the little boys eyes are wide. She starts honking like crazy but traffic is horrible and cars can't really go anywhere.

We stay near her and we get to another red light. Same thing, staying on the horn. We're behind her turning left and she decides to pull out into ONCOMING traffic, cars having to swerve, pull over and honk at her, to pass up everyone trying to turn left and make a left hand turn. My wife tells me to follow her.

We end up at Lafayette General. I figured someone died so I told my wife to let it go. Nope, she still wants to confront her. She goes inside for about 10 minutes and comes back out pissed off to no end.

She tells me she finds the lady and the lady is asking a family member, "did she deliver yet? Tell me I'm not too late".

Yep, her grand daughter was having a baby. My wife went off on her and her excuse was that it was her first great grandchild. Her son(grandfather) apologized profusely to my wife.

Guy comes flying over overpass and swerving all over road nearly taking my car out. I drive up beside him and of course he is looking at his phone. I start hollering and motioning at him to put his fricking phone down. Well he was a law enforcement officer in a an unmarked car so then he throws his sirens on. Now he is raising hell and waiving his arms for me to pull over. I pulled over and he comes running up to my car screaming how road rage can get people shot etc. I said well you could have killed me looking at your phone swerving all over the place. He finally acknowledged that it was his bad while saying they were peppering the shite out of his phone with calls.

He left and that was that.

But yeah I have tried to not let whatever bother me on road last few years. Crazy mofos out there.

There was this one time going to band camp, I speeded up 5 miles per hour to block a car coming up the onramp.

i never got out of a car, but i did call other drivers' heritage into question. i modified the things i shouted at drivers when the child seats had ears of tender years. One day my 4 year old son called someone a silly twit, then turned to his mom and said "that's road talk."

About two months ago I was driving down a two lane highway on a Saturday thinking to myself how awesome the day was. I was in a great mood, the weather was nice, and the radio was playing great tunes. One of those precious moments where you truly appreciate life on God's green earth.

Then some a-hole pulled out in front of my and cut me off causing me to slam on the brakes. They cruised 5 miles under the speed limit only to turn into a dollar general that was maybe a mile from where they pulled out onto the highway. They turned off into dollar general and I laid into the horn and gave them the bird. They had double birds flying back at me.

Totally ruined my mood. Of course there wasn't a car behind me and that a-hole could've waited a few more seconds to pull out and not inconvenience anyone. I'm still mad at them today.
