  • There’s a huge part of it that is because there’s no communication mechanism to resolve conflict on the road, really.

    If you’re stuck behind someone going slower than you want to, how can you clearly communicate that?

    Even in a world where you could clearly speak to them, there’s huge potential for disagreement there, and since the only communication mechanisms can very easily be construed as needlessly dangerous or aggressive, of course you’re gonna see frustration and anger as a result

    People say things like “I’ve used a computer every day for 20 years, I think I know how it works” and then ask if they should “reboot the hard drive” and then they power cycle the monitor.
