courtesy

So say you are driving in rush hour traffic, as I have recently been doing...all. the. time. And let's say you are trying to get into, say, the lane left of you. And let's say that the person in front of you is trying to get into that left lane as well. I find that it is a common courtesy to, if you get into that lane before the other person, wait to let them enter the lane as well. I am recently got the chance to exercise this courtesy and was happily greeted by a wave out the window of gratitude.

I am, honestly, so tired of the inhumane driving of personas locas. Crazy people. It has happened many times before when I sit with my blinker on, for aproximately a minute, and oh! see an opening in the traffic finally. I get excited to move in but OHHH the car behind jumps right into the opening before it has time to get to me. And then decide to put the petal to the metal like that one car length is going to save them an hour driving time. This is what my silly but also reasonable crusade is against. And also it's just a nice little bonding moment. Like saying, "Hey we were in the same boat, trying oh-so-hard to somehow enter into this impassable flow of traffic, so I'm going to help you out."
