Well, to be fair, I have to admit I have a whole different piss-off level when I'm in a car than I do anywhere in the world. :) But I agree with you in general, the things people get upset about rarely impact their lives as much as the anger itself does. I have a mantra when I'm driving ("People are stupid") that I will just randomly state when somebody cuts in front of me or realizes suddenly they have to cross three lanes of traffic, or whatever. It's not really worth getting upset about, even though I wouldn't encourage it. So I just point out to myself that it's stupid, and then try and get on with my life.
Of course, sometimes I forget people don't know me very well, and I'll just be driving along and say, "Have I ever shared with you my theory about people?" and they say "Uh... no" and I say "People are stupid" and they just kind of look at me for awhile, like they're wondering just how dangerous it is to jump out of the car while we're still moving. :)
