		<description>this sounds familiar to the story the man in who the tao flows which go's like;

If a man is crossing a river and an empty boat collides with his own skiff, even though he be a bad-tempered man he will not become very angry. But if he sees a man in the boat, he will shout at him to steer clear. If the shout is not heard, he will shout again, and yet again, and begin cursing. And all because there is somebody in the boat. Yet if the boat were empty, he would not be shouting, and not angry. If you can empty your own boat crossing the river of the world, no one will oppose you, no one will seek to harm you.... Who can free himself from achievement, and from fame, descend and be lost amid the masses of men? He will flow like Tao, unseen, he will go about like Life itself with no name and no home. Simple is he, without distinction. To all appearances he is a fool. His steps leave no trace. He has no power. He achieves nothing, has no reputation. Since he judges no one, no one judges him. Such is the perfect man: His boat is empty.

Where did the man’s anger come from?

the mans anger came from thoughts probably pertaining to :a sense of loss of status, being denied of keeping his own "stuff" his, that a mindless action should cost him something 

Where did it go?
No personal target no anger, how could a inanimate object cause a loss or diminishment to ones own character- unless one believes it to be so eg; stories around addiction having total control over people

Where is the responsibility for the accident?

society breeding a race of pretentious presiousness into individuals - making people believe they have the right to get to where they want to go without interuption or being impinged upon.

Are there comparable situations at work or at home?

in every decision we make where we personalise and objectify people because of a divine belief of righchousness</description>
