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!

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
