My favorite is when someone has some minor road dispute that cost them maybe a couple of seconds in drive time, and they follow you to catch up with you and scream at you about it....almost as if they weren't actually on their way to go fucking do anything.

They were already late to whatever they're supposed to be doing, and you've just become the excuse they needed.

Reminder that a pattern of behavior is not an accident, it is born from intentional choices. Running late isn't something that just happens to people, it is a choice. They choose not to leave on time, they choose not to manage their time, and at a subconscious level they enjoy speeding so leaving late is often an exercise of rationalization. It justifies their speeding and absolves them of guilt when they end up hurting or killing someone. 'Sure, they were speeding and they know speeding causes accidents... but they didn't have a choice, they had to speed or they might of lost their job!' 😮‍💨

Tell that to my ADHD

That doesnt mean that speeding when you are late is OK.
