These days people seem to take things that happen in live as if they are a personal attack. Had a co-worker come in today that apparently was cut off on the highway. He would not let it go all day as of he picked him specifically. Seems so unproductive to hold on to this anger over something he has no control over.

I know what you refer to and have thought behavior like you describe was part of the mind set that they are "entitled".  (The "How dare they do that to ME ME ME?").

Yes, some do take everything as a personal attack, even when it's not meant to be.

Somebody cutting you off on the highway is PERSONAL.    But the person probably shouldn't harp on it all day...

Guess I look at it that unless you know them personally, the incident was not directed specifically at you.  Any car in that position would have been the person involved.

I wonder about the details.  Did he feel this put him in danger of an accident?  My DH used to have a long highway commute, and he had some hair-raising close calls.  

Just sayin’.  The speeds on our Route 91 have gotten quite high

@CrazyDaisy   Glad though that all he did was complain about it to others as opposed to respond in kind.  Otherwise sounds like it could easily have become a road rage situation.

I have noticed that too--think it started to be a thing in 2016------and for 4 years that was the example that we all saw-----toxic and non productive------
