It's deeper than that.
People have been doing this since cars became fast. There's something in our brains that automatically turns driving into a battle.
Nah, it's not just driving cars - I've seen the same happen with shopping carts in the grocery store.
I don't know. I have never seen a shopping cart dispute half as bad as the aggressive/asshole drivers I see every damn day. I think it's the anonymity...
Have you been to Costco?
This is a really good observation.
And there aren’t any traffic laws for shopping carts. Of course they are also less deadly.
but a whole lot more dangerous when you have 4 turning wheels instead of 2
I mean, you roll up on anyone in an aggressive/adversarial manner, regardless of the situation, you’re more likely to encourage pushback than agreement/compliance. Even if it’s just the perception of aggression, our primate brains are wired to stand our ground. Doesn’t matter who’s wrong or right, it’s about locking horns. It’s why online arguments are the way they are.
So... Aggressivity always escalates if people interact at random without a cooling period?
That's quite a hypothesis. Seems realistic. I wonder if anybody tested it.
