Road Rage: ''oulloi oi alloi en pelloi mesto dromo, ehtos pou esena''

I drive daily quite a lot, especially in London. I learnt to drive in Cyprus where traffic laws and driving mentality are similar to Cairo's. Before i didnt used to get so upset by the stupidity of other drivers that i had to share the road with. Maybe its the bloody shit car im driving at the moment, but not for too long.

My road rage is getting worse, especially after quitting smoking so i read a bit about it. What made me realise is that i was overly critical of other drivers, usually totally justifiable, which is also the basic & common characteristic of the ''Road Rager''. So as a first step to control my rage, im trying to become less critical of other ppls driving and road behaviour. Its the same thing as in all situations: you have to share space with a bunch of idiots, geniouses, morons, slow, fast, patient, ugly, beautiful, small, large, huge, tiny, the list is endless. Its the same situation in the army, in the workplace, at school : you have to share your experience (i.e. a motorway trip) with many other different ppl and a juxtaposition of their experiences.

But... i still go ape shit when somebody cuts in front of me with the car. I start giving the finger(s), and if in need i have a cricket bat in the boot if you challenge me enough. When theres a car behind me and wants to overtake me, and starts flicking the headlights and signals me to move over so he/she can pass, i go mental. The limit is 70 and im going 75, and the guy behind me sounds the horn, flicks the lights. Heh, you found the wrong driver mate to overtake, so i just stay in the fast lane and even put my foot on the brake pedal for a sec just to scare the shit out him when he follows me closely from behind. I dont care if you are late for a business meeting, i dont care if you are driving a german car. Ask politely and you shall pass, dont be a prick about it.

Its not an issue of how good a driver is; my point is about having courtesy for the other drivers around you. Road-Raging also depends on the condition of the road: congestion, unecessary speed limits, cameras, traffic lights, temporary road works, etc. Combine these with a learner driver or an old geezer driving a Morris, and all these increase the propensity to 'rage' and can turn a calm driver into the increadible Hulk.

Coming soon, my proposition why 'Ninja' Women Drivers should not be given a driving licence.

Next patronising arsehole that tells me that there are ''lots of fish in the sea'' i will simply kick them in the balls. WTF? so relationships are like fishing? That the sea is like a giant basket full of pussy? Well, fuck you i dont see any fish from where i am. Im in the desert and not in this 'utopian ocean' full of hope that theres another 'fish' out there to suits us. What a stupid 'hope' to live by.

In the desert and i like it
No stinking 'fish'
Just stinking me
As weird as it seems
theres more life in the desert
than an ocean full of pussy
Trick is how not to feel
....like a thristy dog
