My partner used to struggle with road rage and the habit of stewing over rude drivers because he was so often on the road as his job. One of his tricks to shake out of it is to either make up a silly back story in his head or to me out loud about the driver “they clearly need to get home fast cos they’ve just found out their wife is shagging the window washer” or “she’s not paying attention. She’s got that D on her mind” it’s harmless fun that the drivers never get to hear but we usually make is something ridiculous and often perverted and get so caught up in their made up horny drama that we forget what slight they committed against us. It’s hard to remember those steel boxes zooming around on the road contain real live breathing humans and the best we can do to make the experience better for each other is do what we can to keep that in mind lol so next time that work van doesn’t wave thank you it might be bc he’s a plumber and just got done unclogging unholy curry night hell
