What a beautiful day… for road rage

Just took a breather from my desk with a walk down High Street, up Church and back down around Union. Absolutely gorgeous out. Yet in the five minutes I was out I witnessed two acts of road rage and one angry cell phone driver.

The driver of a car speeding down Union Street was obviously none too pleased with another driver who inched his way off Mechanic. Yep, the full display: sped up, rolled down the window, laid on the horn, flipped him off with a shout of “Get off the road jack ass!” Another car turning from High Street to Union obviously didn’t like the fact the guy in front of him wasn’t moving fast enough, as evidenced by his revving engine and horn honking. Behind him a woman on a cell phone shouted angrily into someone on the line.

It is a beautiful day. It’s too bad some people just can’t seem to see it.
