I still don't like half the people on the road but I'm not going to teach my kids to be mean.

It's *so* easy to get frustrated when driving, especially because you don't have to face any consequences for calling someone a jerk from the safety of your car. When I need to reign myself in, I rationalize it this way: I don't know what's going on in that person's life. Maybe they need to get someplace very very very important. Maybe they need to cut over because they aren't from the area and didn't know the lane was ending. Maybe they just goofed -- and that's okay! I hope drivers will show me the same courtesy when I'm lost and making crazy u-turns ;D<br />And I agree that engaging people that you encounter in routine situations can be so rewarding - for everyone! I was once with my sister as she went through a drive thru for coffee and donuts. She was so pleasant to the guy when we got to the pick up window that it distracted him and he handed us our order without charging us. Ha! Of course, she was kind enough to tell him that too ;-) SchuBeDohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03241051080779818603noreply@blogger.com
