Last week, Mom, Dad and I are driving downtown and some asshat decides to make the middle of a one-way street into his personal parking lot. (i.e. stop RIGHT THERE in the middle of the street) Naturally, Dad honks him, and he ignores us, but we're right in front of a snooty restaurant with an outdoor patio and a little boy and his father start throwing crayons at our car. I open the window and tell the dad to go fuck himself. We then drive off.

Mom and I see a very old, hunched over lady trying to open a door. We stop, turn around, and run to help her with the door. Not one look, not one word of thanks. Just NOTHING.

Later, Mom and I get on a bus and the driver and a passenger are having a major shouting match. Argument ends when driver throws passenger off the bus, but yells at another passenger who presumably asked him a non-threatening question due to still being in the heat of the moment, I guess.
Fast forward 10 minutes when the second guy who got yelled at got off the bus and the driver started shouting at him as well. Mom and I are in a hurry so I yell from the back, "Would you shut the fuck up and drive, some people are in a hurry here!" Mom said I probably shouldn't have teased the already mad hornet, but there's no way he would have been able to tell who said it, on a crowded bus.

Mom tells me that maybe I should chill out, since opening the door for the lady racks up good karma points in the first place, but I am just not seeing why it's worth being courteous to all these fuckwads out there these days. So who needs anger management, me or THEM? :grr
