Hopefully I'd be in a more zen place & wish him well.DoulaMommahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17436946151898233317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3782999608211819406.post-79760723714189495882008-07-29T16:21:00.000-05:002008-07-29T16:21:00.000-05:00Well holly, I was feeling feisty...if the kids wou...Well holly, I was feeling feisty...if the kids would have been with me I would have been calm and forgiving and noble--"Maybe he's in a hurry to get to a sick relative." is what I always tell my kids when drivers are rude. Who knows what's going on?<BR/><BR/>This guy was just mean and arrogant. I'm not so arrogant as to think it's my job to correct him. Howevah, I felt it was OK for him to know I was not pleased at almost being road kill.<BR/><BR/>green mamma, you are right of course. I let it go right after that and didn't suck on it like a sore tooth--but I thought I would post about it because I'm also sick of people behaving like this. We're all in it together, aren't we? We better start acting like it.Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01151628332074616618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3782999608211819406.post-62055865798532397552008-07-29T12:36:00.000-05:002008-07-29T12:36:00.000-05:00Shrug it off, then wave and smile.

At the same time, I don't want to take on the negative emotions of other drivers no matter what their reasons are for bad driving behavior. By shrugging it off and smiling, you can stay positive and hopefully safe.<BR/><BR/>I am sorry to hear this happened to you, and even sorrier that is an all too common occasion on the roads today.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3782999608211819406.post-68523091902246666202008-07-28T13:15:00.000-05:002008-07-28T13:15:00.000-05:00Let's see here...what one should do (in my opinion...Let's see here...what one should do (in my opinion) in a situation like this is to simply ignore the man. Maybe he's on his way to his grandchild's birth or something equally as pressing. But, since I tend to act before I rationally think, I would have waved and smiled. Not to be friendly, but to really get his goat. To let him know that in spite of his actions, I'm having a good day. Choice (d) would be good too, if I were feeling especially feisty:)<BR/><BR/>I'm glad you had a good time with your family. A break is essential for Moms!Hollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05405799087242719571noreply@blogger.com
