I used to get upset when idiots drove very badly (and dangerously) near
me on the road; when I got upset, I would scream and yell about it.
What broke me of the habit?  The realization that *easily* 5% of the
cars on the road have a gun in the glove compartment, and I'm sure that
some of the drivers who I found myself yelling at for incompetence
are somewhat unhinged.
