Why Are People So Quick to Anger Out On The Streets???

Well..."ticked off" people are usually preoccupied with some anxiety producing situation in their life.  The "ticked off" is simply their projected anxiousness.

So, this woman may be having trouble with her family, finances, job, etc.  My educated guess she is anxious about something to do with responsiblity.  (Kid is not responsible, job, government, etc.)  So, when you did the grandma-cock-eyed parking job (Ha!)  it pulled up those feelings....hence the dirty look you got.

To an NON-anxious person your parking job was 1.  not noticed, or 2. would invoke a bit of a "oh well."

To an anxious person your parking job was viewed as "does that person think they are the only person on the lot?!  Come on lady, park it right!

I LOVE the topics you raise!

I believe we should form a company, Stickricdoc & assoc. market our talents as BRAIN HEALERS. 

I guess you'd better be thankful she didn't haul out a gun and start shooting!! 

I like Doc thinking that if you're anxious, you'll pick on little things. Personally, I chuckle when I see a cock-eyed parking job (And I have even done it myself!) so I just have smiled and parked elsewhere (You think I want damage from you crazies??) in the lot.

I think people are angry at the U.S.Government.  The President, the Congress to some have failed them miserably and in the right atmosphere that anger manifests itself in a fit of rage.

Joseph, and all:
Joseph, you hit a great point. Most people who keep track of society's "pulse" will tell you overall anger/frustation/anxiety is abnormally high.  And yes, government is a big part of that.  What is scary is there seems to be no hint at a decline in this over all anger.....it seems to be increasing.  What next?  Scary to even speculate.

A good example of this:  The terrorist group Al Quada has grown due to the very high anxiety in the Arab world.  In essence, years of ultra high anxiety in the middle east has produced a "soil" to grow Al Quada.  Now, this is an extreme example, but it demonstrates how growing anxiety in a population can lead to some rather serious situations.
