I was driving to a friend’s house Thursday night, and I had
to drive through downtown where we have our Thursday Night Farmer’s Market. As
I entered downtown, traffic was heavy, and, yeah, I did not clear an
intersection on a left turn until the light had turned red. I suppose I could be cited for that, but
people do that all the time. Well, as I finished my left turn, a car honked,
and I saw this woman on my left, who had to wait all of maybe 1.7 seconds for
me to clear the intersection. Initially,
she gave me this big smile but then –boom – out came her middle finger. Now, was
this necessary? Did she need to do that right in front of the farmer’s market? She
obviously didn’t know who I was, and my place in the community, but wow! I have always considered the farmer’s market
to be a place where people are civil. A place where we really don’t need the
police. So yeah, I was disappointed in the behavior of this woman.
I guess I should be thankful she didn’t throw her brown eggs
at me.
