I used to get overly angry over things as a kid.
Heck, if I lost at a video game, I'd throw the controller or punch the TV (the old style, not the HD thin ones).
Since then, I've learned getting angry over many things like someone cutting you off (intentionally or not) isn't worth getting so angry to risk going to jail or losing your life.
Try to assume positive intent with people and your life will be a lot less stressful.
What works for me when confronted by an idiot is that I think about the fact that there are about 7.8 BILLION people on earth right now and if I remain patient for a few moments I can get whatever idiot is causing me a problem out of my life quicker by not reacting.
This works better for me when I am driving a car than when I am on a Message Board though.
