It's curious that Brooke and I are posting opposite outlooks on the very same subject on the same day! As I drove in traffic for 2 HOURS this morning to get to Forest Lane/635, I noticed that my jaws were clenched and as well, my hands were gripped tightly to the top of the steering wheel.
Brooke mentioned serenity----my title is "white knuckles." Most days, it is a challenge to "drive friendly"----one may begin the drive to work or home in a great mood---then it only takes about three a__holes to wreck your day and endanger about forty people at the same time.
I won't go into the details, but it is recklessness and downright rudeness that can cause so many problems----like Brooke stated, her options were to honk at the errant pedestrian and make a rude gesture, or shrug it off and make the pedestrian feel that all's well that ends well. Brooke was rewarded with a peace sign.
Just this week, I have been cut off numerous times, not allowed to change lanes, even with a turn signal ahead of time. Intersections have been blocked preventing cars from crossing and people talk on cell phones and don't signal when changing lanes or turning.
What does the Virgin Mary have to do with commuting snafu's? I listen to a certain radio station while in the car to stay abreast of traffic delays throughout the Metroplex. While driving about 3 mph heading west on 635 this afternoon, I heard the report that an Arlington woman visualized the Virgin Mary on a rotten grape--green or red????.....dunno. But she plans to freeze the grape, sell it on ebay and give the proceeds to her Baptist church----that's the only Christian thing to do!

wwjd? I think Jesus would take that grape and make it into wine!
I'm SOOO glad to be away from Dallas traffic. Even if I do almost hit bikers.
