clappy- do you find yourself enraged? you're not alone: Frontiers of rage Andrew Burnett is in a California jail, serving a three-year sentence, because three years ago he threw a small dog into traffic and to its death during a fit of road rage. He is now suing the dog's owner, Sara McBurnett, and the San Jose Mercury News, alleging mental anguish over the way she and the newspaper described him to the media. In other news: Jogger rage. In Britain, a 17-year-old runner suffered a badly bruised and scratched neck this month after he was attacked by an older runner, whom he had passed twice. Police in Devon are looking for his attacker, a short man with a medium build and a chubby face. Snow rage. If you yourself haven't spent three hours digging out a parking space, don't park there, advises The Baltimore Sun. "Most snow rage assaults occur when this unwritten law of city civility is violated." Surf rage. "Hawaii's trademark postcard image of a lone surfer cruising to the crest of a roller is no longer a reality," reports The Scotsman. "These days there is blood on the water as enthusiasts jostle for space off North Shore on the island of Oahu, a surfing magnet. There have been noisy public demonstrations outside City Hall, threats of legal action and even a smattering of punch-ups amid rising rancour over the fact that large organized contests are taking over the beaches at the expense of individual recreational surfers." Sea rage. "[W]hat do you call it when gunfire breaks out over a fishing spot," asks the Miami Herald. "Sea rage? Boat rage? Angler rage?" Last month, the U.S. Coast Guard arrested a boater they said shot at three fishermen after a spat over a fishing spot, calling it "a clear case of road rage on the water." Yoga rage. "A typical yoga class," writes Sarah Vine in The Times of London, "now consists not of gentle, deep-breathing vegetarians in search of fluid bowel movements, but of highly competitive professionals in search of tight abs and a load-bearing pelvic floor. It's a mixture that is bound to curdle." The only sure-fire way to avoid yoga rage is to do it alone, she says. Tips for avoiding confrontations: Don't flick sweat on anyone. Don't take up space for two with your mat; in some studios, you will be reported. Don't say "Om" too loudly; it is not an opera class.
