Patience Is A Virtue

Have you ever noticed how rude we are as people? I was just thinking about this while I was stopped in my tracks going from one side of the building to the other at work one day. We have a huge facility that allows you to drive inside the building. We use little golf carts. People will stop and talk without pulling over. Much like on the real roads of a neighborhood. This guy actually looked me in the face and continued talking. I tried to give a fair couple of minutes before I insisted he let me pass. Then they moved without incident. I was outdone.

The flip side to this is maybe I am just too impatient. Life doesn’t have to go by in a rush. I know some people like the south because they say people move a bit slower down there. They take time to be friendlier. Maybe there is something to that. I tend to always be in a rush. I guess a little patience wouldn’t hurt. I don’t know. It is something to think about.

  1. Oh gosh I totally agree, I guess nowadays it's easier to treat strangers rudely and save the manners for the people you know, which I think is pretty dumb.

    Psh, I don't think you were impatient. It sounds like that guy is just... dumb. And I'm sure there is a way to be in a non-rude rush. :]
