As you say, it really doesn't take much! Three hours sitting in traffic? Dang! I notice rude and bad drivers but it rarely upsets me unless they are doing something dangerous. Traffic and bad drivers are something I decided to get used to - I could choose to be upset all the time or just let it go! I haven't learned how to appreciate bad drivers!

It took so little to make people want to do their best when someone actually noticed. A lovely reminder -and after sitting in traffic for three hours today I must learn to appreciate all of the bad drivers one way or the other.... I learned this lesson well as a sales manager.
