Every person is responsible for their actions and words, whether at home, in public or doing their job. Yet some live 24/7 with a sense of being more deserving than others and it's evident in everything they do and say in any given situation. This said, a situation occurred the other day and would've, could've, should've gone some many different ways. But it didn't.
- As 1st driver turned off the busy highway with other fellow motorists, it was noted that a Tandem was pulling from the curb on the secondary road and would soon be at the T-section stop. Both the 1st driver and the passenger noticed as the passenger commented that Tandem didn't seem to be stopping at the Stop Sign. With several other vehicles around the T-section, the 1st driver responded that the Tandem driver had seen them and wouldn't think of pulling out. The Tandem proceeded to drive right through the marked stop and turned in front of the 1st driver, blocking the T-section completely.
The 1st driver and two other motorists were forced to brake immediately and come to a complete stop. And this moment "the Tandem driver voiced out to the 1st driver (sorry for the language, have to stay true to the story) "Fuck You". The 1st driver and passenger couldn't believe the disrespect and the passenger asked the 1st driver to kindly return with the translated word in Sign Language. The Tandem pulled onto the highway after a few more minutes, and everybody continued on their way. Or did they....
As the passenger was exiting the 1st driver's vehicle, a male approached the 1st driver in a very aggressive manner in the very busy parking lot and proceeded to ask if the 1st driver had a problem.
1st driver- "No, do you Sir"
Tandem- "Why did you give me the fuckin' finger?"
1st driver- "I do believe because u said it first after knowingly cutting me off."
Tandem- "Did you see what the hell I drive? Do you know how hard it is to see at that point?"
1st driver- "Yes, I do. It's my job too Sir. And I have no problem doing that shoulder check and seeing all the way to the lights. You looked right at me Sir, as you drove through that stop..."
Tandem- "You don't know the first thing about..."
1st driver- "Why doesn't everybody agree to just drive better. And you have a good day Sir."
Tandem- "Should watch who you swear to."
1st driver- "You started that Sir. So don't sling it, if you don't want to catch it back."
So how would that have gone down for you?
Enjoy your 24 hours!
