Well you may have some slight repentance due, but I think if every person who has become visibly angry with someone at any time in life or has been in arrears with the guy upstairs, we'd all be on the bus heading south ! it don't take much to get angry, but it can take a little effort to right a situation that occurs when one goes off a little. A good friend who is kind of a high strung character used to have a route delivering things like film for processing etc., was a nice easy decent paying gig, but like you, some senior citizen in a parking lot got the best of him as he was always trying to make time one day, he apparently put on an academy award winning performance, all inside his van with the windows rolled up, (I can just picture this). I believe it was when he exited the van and proceeded to walk over to the store for a pick up and another older gent with an oxygen bottle in tow, kind of floated over to him undetected and unoticed ! He says " What company do you work for ?" Response was " Self employed, I work for myself" Older gent says, "did you know that in NYS senior citizens have the right of way ?" and then he comes out with " I saw you curse out that woman !" You never know who is watching, this guy kind of appeared out of nowhwere like George Burns in the movie GOD, it was comical, and I think it quenched his high strung fire a little too. Was funny to listen to him tell the story, one of those situations where you had to be there.
