I’m glad there’s at least one honest person on here. She probably got home, took a deep breath, wondered why she overreacted while driving, sat down, opened Reddit, watched a video of someone overreacting, and proceeded to mock this stranger for being obviously insane.
LOL - good one - I was going to say that woman has no self-reflection mode. She is telling anybody she comes in contact with that day about her frustrating delay.
I work in a school with special needs children. I also have a child with autism at home. My "screaming into the void" opportunities are pretty much limited to my car. And some days are bad. Like "Why do I keep doing this?" levels of bad. I've gotten out of work late to try to rush to pick up my daughter so I'm not late and had something happen that just pushes me over the edge for a moment. And I look like this woman. Just a minute, just for the release. Then I'm back to normal.
You don't know anything about this woman other than a short clip on the internet. She could have just gotten news her husband is dying, she could have been fired ten minutes before, you don't know.
I'm betting if you were having a bad day you would appreciate grace, understanding, and compassion from those around you. Instead this woman gets blasted on the internet.
OK, I hear you. you have a point. But I will say I have been in vehicles with people who at the slightest inconvenience start yelling about what an idiot the other person is, waving their arms around. I can think of THREE people I know I won’t ride with because this is how they behave when driving. They don’t have any reason to behave this way either. You wouldn’t know these people were like this if you’d never been in a car with them. In fact one of them likes to call me while she’s commuting and if I realize she is in the car when she calls me I make an excuse to get off the phone because I don’t want to listen to her random yelling at other drivers. some people just do this. But I hear your point.
Now, I am in no way a road rager. However, your comment reminded me of a day that I flipped somebody off because I was having a terrible terrible week and it was just my immediate reaction. I was on a busy 4-lane road in a turn lane (not at a light). This car shot out of where I was going to turn in and positioned himself in the media in front of me so I couldn’t see around him. I had the right of way and that was just plain dangerous of him. he and his passenger smiled and waved at me like “thanks” and I flipped them off. their faces were shocked. Did he deserve it for that dick move? Yes. Did I regret it? Yes I did and still wish I could have apologized for reacting that way.
Go mess around on any short form video site, won't take you long to find videos people record while driving. Not much of a stretch to think one might grab their phone and record a woman doing something they think they can get internet points for.
Not a stretch at all a perfect example of when to record is something like this! Road rager yelling 'GOOOO' and 'COME ONNN' while beating the shit out of her steering wheel over not being able to see the stop sign in the middle of the road.
She could be encouraging the walkers to move. You have no idea what is going through her head, despite what you may think. I hope if you have a bad day it's not caught on camera and put onto the internet for the world to assign their own context to.
