After dealing with whatever problems that we had to endure that day, now we're dealing with someone acting selfishly while driving. Words could be exchanged or we could choose to stay away from the car. Yes, we're upset, actually fuming, but is an altercation with this individual worth your sanity or life? It's not worth it!
