I just need a button to play frustrated R2-D2 noises at people. Polite, humorous, and a gentle reminder that there are other humans in those other cars, but still gets the point across.

    There are only humans in my car, other cars are filled with assholes, morons, and idiots, some have a “fucking” modifier attached to them too.

    A Buddhist priest once taught me a very simple and effective exercise to combat that sort of thinking.

    As you drive, imagine your car in a bubble. Then expand your bubble to include the vehicle in front of you.

    It started with imagining a bubble around yourself (not in a car necessarily) and then expanding it to include the person nearest you.

    It's more impactful than it sounds. You quickly come to see/feel them as part of the "you" team.
