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.

I knew when I had the idea that it wasn't original, just couldn't remember where from.

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.

Sometimes we have those little epiphanies in the shower.. sometimes they come from other places. This is a home for those epiphanies.
