Cars, driving

[artsylady]

I just remembered that my pastor has mentioned this a few times too. He says that in the church parking lot, we're all very friendly, letting one another out by waving them ahead, and then when we hit the highways, it's every man for himself!

So..... act like you're driving in your church parking lot I guess. lol.

Years ago I went to a new worker orientation class for a large company that was required for new employees, before you even started your job.

The number one point of the four hour orientation was this: Don

we all need patience......we live in a fast paced world....and we are bored stiff...so when we drive we just want to go nowhere really fast....

Thanx for the replies Guys and Gals. I

Bruh, I can tell you the mystery of the ages....I can, really.

You see, it's a "guy thing". Really. It's a "guy thing"....

My husband has classic "road rage" everytime we get in the car. I pray everytime we get in the car because I know my life is on the line each and every time.

He's so insane, he'll play "chicken" with another driver, *(if you know what "chicken" is....it's pretty scary). It usually ends up with me crying and threatening him with divorce.

You see, in the game of chicken, my "much older husband" who should be more mellow and mature, will face off another driver facing us and drive at breakneck speed toward a head on collision ...just to see who will freak out and pull over first.

It's all male ego and tough guy stuff....who's the most "Rambo-like"...

He'll do unspeakable things on the road that absolutely terrify me and considering his age, you wonder how he's managed to live this long. It's amazing he's not dead.

It's pure testosterone. I hope that's not a bad word on a Christian message board but it's the truth...it's a hormonal thing with guys....

Men are from Mars, IMO.

Sorry guys...

When people think they have a right to be angry, because they do not get there way this is quite often against God's will, and one reason for this, is people in the U.S., have not experienced to often not having alot, thus they are spoiled, and they think they have the right to get angry, which leads to the wrath of man, which is wrong, and these are some reasons.

Why do we let our tempers flare when behind the wheel? Both Christians and non-Christians do this. Including me.

We can cruise the aisles at the store in a leisurely manner, chat with the checkout person, and slowly walk to our cars. Take our time putting the groceries in. Fasten our seat belts and then sit there while we find our favorite CD or radio station.

Then we hit the road and every little pause causes anger, road rage, horn blowing, cussing someone out, etc.

I wonder why driving has this influence on so many of us? Any ideas?

not me... i'm much less prone to anger behind a wheel than i am in ANY store... i hate shopping, i hate crowds, and i hate when the sign says "if there are more than three people in line, we'll open another register" and fifty people are standing in line at each of the three open registers!

christmas is the worst of all. i've discovered the internet! quite convenient too since we're alone (family wise) in this part of the country.... i'm quite content to shop online and have it shipped direct. anything to keep me out of the stores, and miles from any mall!

[Guest Calamity]

Yeah, I hate crowded stores and you almost have to drag me to any of them near Christmas. Ebay comes in right handy sometimes.

[Guest LadyC]

yeah, God blessed us abundantly with ebay, didn't He?
