on: horn honkers.

here's a little story for ya, i'm sitting in the drive up line at McDonalds. waiting ever so patiently, to pay for my peppermint hot chocolate. the car in front of me pulls forward, and before i even have a chance to remove my foot from the brake, the um...gentleman...behind me, honks several times, flips me off, and screams at me to get my A** moving. i roll to a very slow stop at the window, and the cashier, a very nice woman, comments on how impatient people are these days. then with a wink, she takes her sweet, sweet time to give me my receipt and change. i then pull forward to receive my cocoa, and a similar scene takes place. again with the honking, screaming, and swearing. i feel bad for this fella. is he so miserable that he cant wait in line like the rest of us regular folks? maybe he REALLY needed his morning Joe.
lately, i've been increasingly annoyed at horn honkers. people who are in such a hurry to get to wherever, that they have no patience for the rest of man kind. i know that there are occasions where a honk is warranted, but horns at stop lights, drive up windows, and at stop signs are just rude. take a breath. have a little kindness in your heart for the mom who is trying to get a binki to her crying child. have a little patience with the old man who's slower on the gas pedal than you. be a little nicer to the 16 year old learning to drive a stick shift car. have a little heart people!
