There was this annoying Smart Car in front of me that kept slowing down and speeding up on a two lane highway heading towards San Antonio today. I just wanted to flick the thing off the road.
I would not call it road rage, but I have been having these strange feelings lately. When I am driving behind a store along the truck route I sometimes see cars back there. A lot of times they cannot get around me and have to turn around. Yes I know it is wrong but for some reason I get a feeling of satisfaction from that.
Do you ever feel like Godzilla or King Kong when driving your truck?

If you let everything that bothers you build up it will become a point of stress and tension. You cant let what bothers you effect your responsibility behind the wheel. You are and will be held accountable to a higher standard then they are. Remember,.. you are the professional. They are just commuters with little to no regard for you, your size, any dangers, or any clue.
I feel the same as you at times. I fantasize about just crashing into vehicles that annoy me. Having special powers to make their tires blow out sending them to the shoulder and out of my way. Seeing people who flick cigarette butts and fantasizing about 10,000 butts coming back in their window and singing everything inside. I have many demented thoughts while going down the road.
When I get home I use video games like GTA4, Battlefield4 and do things in those games that I wish I could do in real life. I also have a drag car and my wife's car is set up for road and track and I hit the tracks we have here to get rid of the stress that builds up. Spending a day at Sebring, Bradenton or O-Town gives me instant gratification.
Careful to separate fantasy from reality.

Never want to run another car over. That would cost too much money. I like to see myself more like Burt Reynolds or Jerry Reed than a big old monster.
