Road Rage and Air Rage

Two of the most common forms of offensive aggression in modern society
are road rage and air rage. Road rage, which generally occurs on crowded, multilane highways, is often committed by otherwise civilized individuals
who, when behind the wheel of a car that weighs more than a ton, become
irrational. If someone cuts them off in traffic, drives slowly in the lane ahead
of them, or commits some other perceived roadway insult, perpetrators of
road rage may bump the rear of car ahead of them, pass the car and shoot at
the offending driver, or force the offending driver off the road and onto the
shoulder, where a fight or a shooting may occur.
Air rage is somewhat different. Some people who have been flying for
long periods in cramped airplane conditions, often passing through several
time zones, may suffer from disorientation. Often this feeling is intensified
by the consumption of alcohol before or during the flight. Such
people, if refused another drink or if asked to return to their seats and
buckle their seat belts, may strike out at flight attendants or at fellow passengers.
