A Change in Perspective
I was driving toward the farmer's market, and came up behind a car stopped in the middle of the street, not signaling, just stopped. I waited a minute, expecting the driver to move. When he didn't, I tapped on the horn and he pointed to the side of the street, as if he was waiting for a car to pull out so he could park. But no one sat in any of the cars, no backing lights. By this time two cars were behind me. I maneuvered around the guy -- an old man in a blue cap with a red plaid shirt -- and as I passed by my expression said, "What are you doing?" He gave me the nastiest scowl, shouted at me (though I couldn't hear what he said through the closed windows), and gave me the finger. Yeah. When he was the one being inconsiderate and rude! Later, when I was walking around the farmer's market I saw the same man pushing a woman in a wheelchair. His expression was much more pleasant. What he'd done before was rude and inconsiderate, but I could understand it better.
