I was made to realize yesterday that my life is not all that bad. I was driving back from Smart and Final, in the left turn lane, when the car in front of me was cut off by an SUV trying to get into the left turn lane. I’m not actually sure if he was cut off that badly, as the guy had his signal on and everything. The guy was angry, and leaned on his horn – even I might have honked at the SUV – and the car was rocking as he angrily gave the SUV the finger. I could hear him screaming from inside my own car. We were stopped at the light, the SUV in the other left turn lane, next to me, and the guy was in front of me. He gets out of his car, this short, heavyset guy, and begins screaming at the SUV. I was thinking, whoa – it’s not that big a deal. He’s yelling “Get out of the car you ----- ---- (insert expletive)” and shaking his fists and hopping around like mad. Once it was apparent the guy in the SUV wasn’t getting out (his wife was in the car) the man runs back to his car, and is still screaming and the car was shaking so hard, back and forth, up and down. He struggles to put his seat belt back on, and then holds his hands in his head, shaking violently. I was shocked. This guy just completely lost it because somebody cut in front of him. I wondered, what kind of bad day is he having? Either he’s had a really bad time of life right now, or he has some serious emotional problems. Either way, it’s really sad. It made me realize that nothing in my life could compare to the hard life that guy is having. Just made me appreciate what I do have.
