I think, for the most part, that i am pretty kind and considerate. I hold doors for people and always remember to say please and thank you. I want people to know i appreciate them and care about them. Ok, with that being said...i do not happily submit to forceable kindness. I think it sucks when a person inches their way into making you be nice to them. This morning i sat in bumper to bumper traffic for 20 minutes just to get my daughter to school. After dropping her off i jumped right back into to traffic line. A young guy (aka dick head) in a huge black pick up decided he shouldnt have to wait. So...he did that pull out in front of you deal where the only option is to slam on the breaks and let him go. My reaction: flip him the bird. This is an action i highly do not recommend or even do. I learned my lesson in Chicago when my husband did it to a guy cutting us off by O'hare airport. That was a tense moment that i knew we were gonna die...except my sons innocent face in the back seat saved us from a gruesome scenerio. Thankfully the dick head i flipped the bird to today drove on without retaliation. I can not believe that reaction popped out so quickly. I mean, a cursing inside my car peppered with words of profanity....yes...but a hand gesture? Sooo not me.
Stealing kindness must be discouraged. It could save a life.
