Oh no! she gave me the finger...

Yesterday, I was peacefully driving from work to school, on rout 28, as I was passing through the Air and Space museum a car was exiting, trying to merge onto my line. According to the road sign, the card had to yield, but of course none ever seems to pay attention to those signs. As I kept on going, so did the car, I decided to slow down, to let the car go, but I guess the lady who was driving, an older lady, and by older I don’t mean she was old I mean older than me, maybe on her mid to late 40s, thought I was not going to let her go so she slowed down too. I was being very nice letting her go but she couldn’t make up her mind to whether go or let me go; she got really up set, came next to me and with a very angry, and ugly, face she gave me the finger. What? And immediately I started laughing really hard. I don’t understand why people are still doing this didn’t she get the memo that the finger is not insulting anymore? Why some people take their anger while driving on other people in the road? I would understand a teenager doing that, but this lady; I can’t even imagine what kind of manners she teaches her kids.
These are the kind of people that causes accidents in the road, because this kind of situations leads to a chain of anger, after the incident I could have been angry and take my anger out on somebody else, and the anger would keep on going from person to person.

We all have bad days, we all hate traffic, we all are mad because gas is so expensive but please let’s don’t put other people’s lives and our own in danger.
Anger management classes people…..
