RE: Do It & Own Up to It

Your example about being ok with someone dinging your car brought back some memories in my own life and one in particular. I was backing out of a parking space driving my GF's really tiny car and there was a gigantic SUV on my left. I couldn't see any oncoming cars in the parking lot yet this didn't stop the guy who I pulled out in front of from laying down on the horn and shouting obscenities at me. I really hadn't done anything wrong because I didn't cut him off, I simply couldn't see them. We didn't hit or anything but you saying that about accidents made me remember how nuts people get behind the wheel. I don't know what it is about driving that makes people so quick to anger but it does seem to do the trick. If the guy driving that car had just taken a second to look at the fact that I wasn't a bad driver, but that it simply wasn't possible for me to see him, that a lot less energy would have been been saved on both our parts.

I thought the guy wanted to fight over that situation and that is just crazy. There was no "forgiveness" or even reason on his part during that exchange.
