13 Things You Say If You Have Passive-Aggressive Road Rage
Elyssa Day

There are two types of people in the world.

There are those who like Coke, and those who like Pepsi.

There are those who prefer dogs, and those who prefer cats.

There are those with extreme road rage, and there are those who react much more passively.

I don't know about you, but I definitely fall into the latter category. With that information, guess what happens when someone cuts me off: do I A) get angry and slam my hands on the steering wheel, or B) say "Excuse me, sir. That. Was. NOT. Nice." and continue driving?

If you chose option B, you're right. Congrats.

I know I'm not the only one in the world who's like this! If you too are a passive road driver, you'll totally relate. If you're an aggressive driver, welcome to our life.

1. Hello sir. What are you doing?

This is for those times when you can't fathom what's going on or what would prompt them to make that driving decision.


2. Can you please go?

Why....why are you sitting still? What's going on?

3. That's OK. Take your time. I'll wait.

I mean, I can't move until you do, but that's fine. Take all the time you need.

4. *pterodactyl noises*

AKA, gibberish/soft screaming/loud screaming/odd throat noises.

5. If you're going to merge, merge!

I will let you in madam. I am letting you in. Please get over!

6. Um, excuse me, sir.

For those times when you see someone potentially about to pull out in front of you, you pull this phrase.

7. Um, EXCUSE ME, SIR.

For when that someone does pull out in front of you.

8. Hey...stop.

For those moments when you have no words to describe how you feel.

9. I'm going to need you to not. Thaaaaaaanks.

This is a very crowded parking lot, I'm stuck behind you, and you think you're going to be able to back out? Nope!

10. Will you please increase the weight of your foot on the gas? Thanks.

The speed limit is 45 and they're going 40? Puh-lease put the pedal to the metal.

11. Hey hey hey hey hey hey HEY.

Hey! You!

12. Sir, your brights are too bright! (But I'm not going to flash mine at you because what if they're your normals and you get mad and then I feel bad and have to think about this moment for the rest of my drive home?)


Am the only one who does this? Really? Just me? *crickets*

13. Why thank you, madam!

Sometimes (many times) we're in the wrong and the other vehicles are very forgiving. Let's give credit where credit is due!

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
