THE REASON FOR ROAD RAGE
PENT UP ANGER MANAGEMENT
By
VIKRAM KARVE
I once had a terrible boss.
Every morning, he used to reach office in a foul mood and start shouting at everyone which would spoil our mood and vitiate the office atmosphere for the entire day.
When I complained to the Big Boss and told him that I did not want to serve under this individual and asked for a transfer out of the department, the Big Boss told me that my Boss had a very unhappy family life, which caused a lot of pent up frustration and anger within him, and hence he took out all his bottled up anger on us the moment he reached office.
He told me ignore the ranting of my boss and offered me this rational explanation:
“People who are unhappy at home vent out their frustrations in office.
And those individuals who are unhappy in office, in their work life, go home and release their pent up anger and take it out on their families.”
I looked at the Big Boss and asked him, tongue-in-cheek:
“And what about those people who are unhappy at work and also unhappy at home?”
“I don’t know,” he said.
“I’ll tell you,” I said:
“people who are frustrated at work and also have an unhappy family life - they take out their frustrations and vent out their pent up anger while commuting to work and back home. These are the road-rage types who are always on a short-fuse and holler at the slightest instance at their fellow travellers in the traffic and even at their vehicles.”
