Angry Drivers ....

So, I finished up with a meeting and I got back into my car and started backing out of my parking spot. And while I was backing up, I was trying to get my sunglasses on at the same time, and so I was moving really slowly.

And when I had backed up a good deal, I realized there was a guy in a Ford Thunderbird waiting for me to back up. And I took a look at him and he was pissed off that I was backing up so slowly and gave me the finger. And started honking.

Normally, I would have either ignored him completely and slowed down even further or I would have given him the finger as well.

However, I did something different this time.

I got out of my car, walked up to him and knocked on the guys window. He rolled the window down, getting ready for a fight. I said, "Sorry I delayed you by about 15 seconds. And I can't give you back the 15 seconds of your life that I have taken away. So here's a dollar to compensate for it". And I gave him a dollar bill.

The guy didnt know what to say.
I dont get angry anymore.
