I actually think there is nothing more rude than someone coming up & bashing on your window & abusing you for somehting that was a complete accident .. especially when you didnt even collide..... the fact that he slammed the door wouold ahve made me madd enough to do the same thing to him while he was in his car... it is just outright rude .... people make mistakes .. & there is no need for abuse.... but you can tell when someone does cause stuff like this on purpose .. then there is reason for a few words with em :P Matt ----- Original Message ----- From: "Paul Stanley" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Sunday, March 30, 2003 7:57 PM Subject: Road Rage
