Hey! A mod!

Would you fix the typo in the thread title? "whil" should be "while". Thanks.

First, I seldom get angry in traffic. I'm all about feeling grateful for what didn't happen, rather than getting pissed for what only almost happened.

Second, when I'm pulling the Books by Bike trailer, I'm a City employee, on City business, representing the City. Despite everything else, the bonehead is a taxpayer and a voter. That makes him my boss.

Can you imagine what would happen to me if it made the news, "City employee goes ballistic on hapless motorist"?

No. I think the bonehead learned a better lesson this way.

And I learned too that my crash avoidance instincts are working pretty well.
