It's very seldom that I get really angry about something... I mean, I get angry in general about intolerant people, bigots, people who let their kids run amuck and don't teach them manners... but I seldom get angry at a specific person on a personal level.
The reason for that I believe is this.... Discord between people is caused by misplaced expectations... therefore I try not to misplace my expectations... That's one of the fantastic little lessons I learned the hard
I misplaced my expectations yesterday morning when running into a couple I've been in close proximity to for many years .... As I walked up behind them in line at Walgreen's, I said, "Hello Insert plural form of last name here"!!" ... They each muttered a very unenthused, "Hi.." without turning to make eye contact at all in any way, shape form or fashion. In fact, I've wondered since yesterday morning how they even knew it was me... I said, "How are y'all?" ... One of them said "Fine" so quickly that it sounded more like a bug whizzing by my ear than a human being speaking.
