I had an experience today on my way home from class. I turned into my alley and there was a male teenager walking in the middle of the lane. I waited patiently for him to hear my vehicle and move over, he didn't. I tapped my horn in case he didn't know that I was there, he responded my holding up a finger that may have meant that I was #1 in his opinion. I continued to follow him down the lane, he continued to express his opinion. When the lane split and we went our separate ways, I wished him well and went on with my day.
Clearly this young man was quite anger and looking for a fight wherever
he could find it, my choice was not to give him one. I have never been
in enough of a hurry to begrudge someone the two minutes it takes to
walk down my lane. Yeah, he was disrespectful, but he probably already
knew that and didn't need me pointing it out. I could have been outraged, possibly angered by his behavior, but I figured that it would be a waste of energy and emotion over something that I had no control over. So that's what happened, what would you do?
