To believe this would require having a self-centered view. Most people don't care about me. If they get irritated, they usually forget quickly.

We found a good car mechanic near where I work, so it's now my job to bring my wife's car in for repair. That meant I had to drive to work yesterday. I find driving a car to be more irritating and scary than riding a bike or taking mass transit. To paraphrase a popular bumper sticker, a bad bike ride is better than a good car ride.
