I believe I have a form of Tourette syndrome. One that only comes out during driving. I'm referring to it as TourRoad Rage. It's symptoms are:
- Swearing at other drivers for even the smallest problem they may cause
- Lowering the volume on the radio so you can hear yourself swear
- Continuing the swearing until a new problem occurs
- Swearing only when there is nobody else in the car
- Offering advice to other drivers even though they can't hear you
- Yelling at the traffic guys for not telling me the traffic where I am or not informing me of the correct intersection of accidents.
I can't imagine what would happen if I had a longer drive to work. A normal drive of 25-30 minutes is fine but add a small accident, rain, snow and sometimes even the wind can delay my drive and I go mad. The other day the traffic guys all said an accident was at Woodbine and 16th Ave so I altered my route to avoid it and the delays it would cause just to find out that the accident was at the intersection I went to which was just east of Woodbine not at Woodbine.
At the moment I am not seeking therapy for this problem but as winter approaches I may have to work from home some more.
