I was sitting at a red light the other day with a car in front of me and a car behind me. As soon as that light turned green, the car behind me honks. That unnecessary action, just happened to cause my foot to fall off the gas pedal, so I proceeded ahead at a slower rate than I would have normally. Of course it pissed the person off behind me to no end (you should have saw them in my rear view mirror!), which was why I did it; there was no need to honk. So they passed me while we were in the intersection with byrd’s a flying out their window and hurried down the road on their all so important mission. About a half mile down the road I passed them stuck in traffic trying to make a left hand turn into a drug store parking lot. So, where was the fire? Honking their horn hadn’t gotten them anywhere any faster, had it? Now they were mad at me, if I occupied their thoughts that long, and perhaps the rest of humanity for delaying them further. Their rude behavior had gotten them nothing but frustration by trying to get things to move at their pace. Do I think I taught them anything from my bad behavior, nope, really didn’t think I would, but I tried. Maybe I should have waved at them and smiled when I passed by?

Come on now, they were going to a drug store and in their reality, the rest of the world wasn’t moving fast enough for them apparently? Do they think they are more important than the rest of us commoners? Were we in the way of their objective and we simply should have known better and got out the way? I say, not so much. They may believe of their importance, in their mind, but in my reality, they need to be courteous to the rest of us and not forget that you only earn respect, you can’t demand it.
