Got a real case of Road Rage right up close and personal yesterday.  A guy was not pleased by some nuance of my vehicular driving skill, and followed me for several blocks flashing his lights.  I stopped at a grocery store, and he got out and proceeded to insult my ancestry, parentage, questioned why my vehicle was not in a scrapyard, and so on, mostly incoherently. This display was all done in front of his kids who were sitting in the car at the time.  I was wondering if he was going to clobber me.  I wisely ignored him, as I was on a Fathead-Free Diet that day.  I am sure his kids now have an excellent example of mature, rational adult behaviour to clock their own actions against.  

Next time I feel like flipping off somebody on the road, I'll try to remember this grown-up schoolyard bully and how ridiculous and pointless he was.
