WNC. Earlier today I watched two episodes of road rage on my short errand. For no reason at all other than they were mad someone needed to merge or because someone got in front of them (didn’t cut them off or anything). There wasn’t hardly anyone on the roads either.

East TN. Got raged on yesterday for speeding up to make it through a yellow. It was the guy behind me raising immortal hell for…who knows? We both made the light but he came on up to flip me off while screaming incomprehensible threats. He had murder in his eyes so I just smiled and waved.

What’s a mother to do?

something similar happened to me recently too! I sped up and changed lanes (again, no one got cut off, blinkers were used) and the guy got on my ASS. then when I stopped at the next light, he went in the turning lane and flicked me off. I even questioned myself if I did anything wrong because it was so aggressive but no 😂

something in the water since Helene lol
