I might be slightly irritated if you invade my personal space (ie cut me off), but, I don't see any reason to be vengeful or vindictive.  |
You can choose to be "tolerant" and not act on your emotions. The question is whether you have any emotions when a DB performs in a bad way. Some folks have no emotional response...........no anger..........no rise in blood pressure..........no thoughts of revenge...........nothing.
Others have those thoughts and/or physical response and realize that they have the response and suppress the need for any action on their part.
Others have those thoughts and/or physical response, don't realize that they have the response, and take actions for revenge.
Each of the three categories, as noted above, also have a wide range of subjects within each category. In the first category, the extreme would be a person who can continue to carry on a conversation with their passenger and not even notice a vehicle behind them flashing lights and riding their bumper.
In the last category, the extreme would be a person who shoots a DB for tailgating him. I recall a movie clip that I enjoyed very much. A gangster just got an older M/B back from the mechanic and is taking it for a test drive and some DB decides to tailgate him............I believe it was a W116............it was excellent.
