Putting yourself in a protective bubble will help you put up with idiot drivers.

Never mind vanity license plates, the biggest fad on the road has long been rude driving. If you make it into a game, it can actually be fun to tolerate rude drivers. Your goal is to wow them with your smile, create and aura around you that can't be penetrated by the loudest horn and get to work safely.

Difficulty: Challenging

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

One of those squishy balls that relieves stress (optional)

Step 1

Put yourself in an untouchable bubble. This is done by sitting quietly before starting the car, breathing deeply and asking for protection from anger, frustration and fender dents from rude drivers you will soon encounter.
Step 2

Remember that protective bubble as you drive down the road and encounter a bunch of jerks who switch lanes out of nowhere, ride on your bumper and try to push you into oncoming traffic. You are protected and safe.
Step 3

Let rude drivers have their way if it looks like they will smash into you. When they rudely cut you off, wave at them and smile. After all, you are in your blissful bubble.
Step 4

View the whole road scene as if you were watching a bumper car movie. This way the antics become comical and you'll still be laughing, rather than enraged, by the time you get to your destination.

Tips & Warnings

Although some of the rude road behavior may seem like the end of the world, it won't really matter in two years, or even two minutes, when you are further down the road.
Don't let your bubble pop just because some idiot honks a horn or flips a finger at you. Smile and wave instead. The smile does not have to be genuine, but it will help stop you from being rude back.
