Already twice this weekend I've had near misses where I almost committed PT rage. Why is travelling around so infuriating

I'm not sure what your experience was, but I'm finding it frustrating in certain particular ways. I feel like it's getting worse in that every time I take the kids out I'm unfortunate enough to encounter someone absolutely off their heads. The kids look to me for an explanation. Sometimes it's mentally ill people having a bit of a tough time, and some understanding/sympathy is called for. Sometimes it's a case of, "and that's why you don't do drugs, kids!" But sometimes people are just jerks, and it's hard to explain.

Unfortunately that is the experience even outside of PT these days :(
