I have a new strategy for driving. Rather than becoming aggravated by bad drivers, I'm trying to be more sympathetic. When someone's driving too fast and tailgating, I'll tell myself, oh they probably ate spicy chiles and need to find a bathroom before they shit themselves. And if someone is driving too slow I'll tell myself, they probably have a baby in the car, or a cake, or four large Cokes from In N Out in a flimsy cardboard holder.
If someone does something stupid like pull a left turn in front of me, I'll say, oh they probably just had brain surgery. And if a driver drives selfishly, my answer is, they're probably royalty.
I'm having fun with my new game. It doesn't always work. I still lose my cool from time to time, but at least I can amuse myself. I'm easily amused.
