Engineer Case

It seems that a great many of us are getting angrier, or at least we are expressing our anger more. We seem to be flying into a rage all over the place and rage is now so common that the English language has acquired several expressions to describe particular forms of it!

The first of these rages to be named was road rage. This is used for drivers who are so enraged by other drivers or pedestrians that they let their anger get completely out of control. Often, they get out of their cars and shout and make threatening gestures at the people who have annoyed them. Sometimes, they are so beside themselves that they attack the people physically and there have been cases where drivers have gone berserk and killed people. It frequently does not take much to provoke drivers who are easily angered. Even overtaking them quite legally can enrage them.

Police are sometimes called to people’s homes when rage gets out of control. In the worst cases, people who cannot control their tempers become guilty of domestic abuse and beat up their partners. This often leads to the break-up of the family and sometimes to the imprisonment of the violent partner.

The supermarket is another place where people get angry. People often get frustrated if they have to queue at the checkouts, sometimes becoming so furious that they are driven to trolley rage. Then they deliberately bang into others with their trolleys, sometimes causing injury.

Passengers in planes also sometimes fly off the handle. Known as air rage, this form of anger is usually directed at members of the cabin crew. It is common for passengers who lose their tempers in the air to have taken too much alcohol in the airport bars and to be spoiling for a fight when they board the aircraft. Their violence is dangerous in the air and they have to be restrained.

Try not to let any of this happen to you. Take a deep breath and
