Those who are prone to road rage are capable of creating real messy situations for themselves and the people around them. Although we all feel the anger bubbling inside us whenever we are stuck in traffic, or can't find a parking spot, some people tend to give in to that anger and let it consume them, and that can be pretty dangerous. 

Take the woman in this Reddit story for example, after letting her anger get the best of her, she was willing to push a stranger with her car just so she could park it. OP (original poster) was standing at a parking spot trying to guide her driving sister in with their car when an entitled woman started driving into the parking space herself. She didn't care that someone was already driving into it, and she definitely didn't care that a pedestrian was standing right there.

    Setting: insanely busy parking lot outside of Boston. People are circling CONSTANTLY to find a spot. I'm visiting my sister and we just want to kayak. We spend at least 20 minutes just

    We sit there with our turn signal on so relieved until a gold Audi pulls up on the other side and waits. I'm from Oregon and I have never worried about someone stealing a spot so I was like,

    there is no way she would steal this spot. However she starts inching forward toward the spot so I get out of the car to go stand in the spot and guide my sister in. We are not about

    entitled people who have no common courtesy just p´s me off more. Anyway we had fun kayaking. No revenge, no pettiness, I'm sure they're miserable enough.

    Edit: I have a picture of her license plate. I am trying to track down witnesses and I will be filing a police report tomorrow, in the hopes that there are maybe cameras in the

    Daikaioshin2384 · 1 day ago So... this is beyond "mildly infuriating"... what's mildly infuriating is fact you did absolutely nothing, now THAT is mildly infuriating

    You're the reason these people keep getting away with you're enabling them to do it freely by not making them face any consequences of their actions... how are they to feel any regret or remorse for what they're doing if people just keep letting them do it??

    The person who let the evil happen is as equally guilty as the one who preformed that evil in the first place

    • PlasticRespect7163 1 day ago I don't think we should blame OP for not getting everything right in an absurd situation. They should not feel as guilty as the person who hit them with their car, that's crazy

    AnnualMassive2743 OP · 1 day ago • Edit made above. I made a mistake not getting all the information in the moment, and I hope what I report makes a difference, but I don't think in any case I'm as bad as the person hitting me with their car

    so it was she said she said. I was in shock over the audacity, and I don't have a lot of faith that the police would do much... I've had them do very little for worse. I don't think we should be catching heat for not knowing what to do immediately in an unprecedented

    situation for us. They caught more obscenities from me than anyone else ever before, and they seemed pretty concerned that we'd do something to their car tbh
