Road Rage paranoia
have you ever had road rage then afterwards be super paranoid? like today a sign said no turn on red but this guy kept honking at me. i turn around and yell at him, can you read?! and give him the finger. then we gave each other the evil eye while i made another right and he went straight. afterwards i was really paranoid like damn, what if i see him again or he sees my car and messes it up. or what if he turns around, fallows me, and starts something. i can also think of other times where ive had road rage. like when this guy pulled right infront of me and i had to suddenly break. I was inches from hitting his car. now i feel even more paranoid that somethings gonna happen to my car. my town isnt a small town but what are the chances? does anyone here feel or have felt the same way? i have to relax more and not have so much road rage but damn! gaah! i need to sleep it off or something

Take a deep breath... and take a nap...
Ask yourself some questions: 1. What does he have to gain from messing your car up? Wouldn't he more than likely get caught? 2. What does he have to gain from messing you up? He'd get caught. Let it go, I'm sure your friend this morning has. Maybe your paranoia has a little bit to do with that you aren't proud of your own behavior. It's over and done... Don't worry about it.

While Mal is correct in her statements, I'm not interested in having to deal with "catching and prosecuting him" thus I'd rather just let it go to begin with....
