The Top 15 Signs You Suffer From Road Rage
(Part II)
(Part II)
- For lack of a more effective weapon, you find yourself threatening other drivers with the cigarette lighter.
- You exchange your Uzi with laser sighting for a “more serious weapon.”
- You’ve stopped wearing pants in the car to make it easier to moon tailgaters.
- Local Crips now have a hand signal for “Get Off The Road, That Psycho’s Coming!”
- On your license, under “restrictions,” it says, “Valium Required.”
- That Yugo hood ornament on your 4X4 is not *actually* an ornament.
- The only thing that calms you down is your trusty Megadeth CD.
- The need to wring Dr. Laura Schlessinger’s neck is just a bit more urgent than usual.
- You swear more before you get to work than most gangsta rappers do all day.
- You threaten to run over the person in front of you even though you’re in line for communion.
- The car’s a year old, but you’re already on your fifth horn.
- Your saw blades don’t work, your voice is out of sync with your mouth, and Speed Racer has just beaten you in another race.
- You’ve traded your plastic statue of St. Christopher for one of A.C. Cowlings.
- You’d flash your brights at that slow dumbass Jacob ahead of you if your buggy only had headlights.
And the Number 1 Sign You Suffer From Road Rage…
- You’ve plowed more pedestrians than Wilt Chamberlain.
