ROAD RAGE ANONYMOUS
If you don't know me personally or very well then your probably not aware of one of the qualities I possess.
I should warn you that this "quality" isn't anything to be proud of.
I, Roundtooth have a strong case of ROAD RAGE.
Yes, I'm owning up to it and I might have been the one honking and cursing at you the other day as you seemed to forget that you were in control of a large and dangerous machine otherwise known as an automobile. Chances are you were more focused on the conversation taking place on your cell phone instead of the green light inviting you to move along.
Anyway, I know this isn't a healthy habit, beeping at others and raising my hands out the window like a New York city taxi driver but I just can't help it.
Until now that is. I am taking steps to detoxify my brain and Jeep of the nasty ROAD RAGE syndrome.
I have to come to grips with the fact that there will always be complete morons, tourists, dumb bimbos, those forever absentminded, busy soccer moms, clueless teenagers, old farts, and many others out there on the same roads as me and my Jeep.
To begin the detoxification process I considered dismantling my Jeep's horn. Then I decided it wouldn't be fair to Jeep, basically ripping it's heart out. Who lives without a heart???
So, acupuncture is helping to calm my nerves and ease my ROAD RAGE tendencies.
The ironic thing is, the other day I had just left acupuncture feeling utterly zen when I noticed a woman in a mini-van.
She was probably trying to think of what to make the kids for dinner and wondering whether or not her husband paid the mortgage. While pondering these thoughts she became frustrated with the car in front of her in the parking lot.
This car obviously couldn't decide whether it wanted to go left or right. Thats when mini-van-woman raised her hands to literally touch the ceiling of her van and then she began what can only be described as yelling and screeching like a hyena. I honestly thought she was going to grow facial hair with rage she was displaying.
Then it occurred to me, I am a fellow ROAD RAGE HYENA.
Is that what I looked like during my fits of ROAD RAGE??? (Obviously yes but a lot cuter)
Is there such thing as ROAD RAGE ANONYMOUS?
If so I need to stand up and say, Hi my name is Roundtooth and I have ROAD RAGE.
HONK, USE YOUR BLINKER DAMN IT, HONK HONK,
Roundtooth
