    Everyone is dealing with something that you don’t know about

    Maybe too personal but shortly after a breakup in 2017 someone flipped me off on the road cause i was a pretty new driver and didn’t notice them signaling to merge in front of me and i cried in a parking lot after.

    I didn’t know some tiny thing like that could tip me over on the wrong day and i think about it whenever i feel like blaring my horn at someone or whatever

        Yeah, when I was a kid I’d flip people off and whatnot but as I’ve grown older I’ve just realized it usually isn’t worth getting angry. Usually I just don’t even react.

        I did get angry when someone else nearly hit a pedestrian, the pedestrian cursed them out in Spanish, then they said, I kid you not, “Calm down, I didn’t see you!” I was on my motorcycle and hollered “No shit you didn’t see them!” Just a crazy thing to say after nearly hitting someone with your 2 ton hunk of hurtling metal.
