Oh no... I cuss at everyone in my way. When I am in a hurry it seems like everyone in town has picked that moment to take a nice, slow scenic drive.

It's called the fundamental attribution error. When you or someone you know well does something, you tend to attribute it to your/their situation (I cut him off because I'm late to work), but when a stranger does something, you attribute it to their disposition (they cut me off because they're an asshole). You know that you don't always act like that, but you don't know the stranger, so you assume they always act like that.
