(23,706 posts)Reminds me of about 10 years ago, I walked into our favorite Thai restaurant to pick up my take out. There was an unhappy customer there just berating the little old man and lady who ran the restaurant, really couldn't be satisfied. He was making a scene and nothing could console him. Got him to leave, and this was next to a dojo and the head of the dojo came out to talk to the guy too once we were outside. Was actually losing my temper a little with him as he was acting like a total fool. And then he broke down crying, his family had been stayiing at a Ronald McDonald's house around the corner and their little girl had cancer she was being treated for and they had been told that morning she wasn't going to make it. He was picking up food for them because she liked Thai food.
You never know what someone is going through. Everyone has lost someone, everyone has grieved or is grieving. The guy cutting you off rudely in traffic, the lady in the grocery store pushing your cart out of her way, they could be having the worst day of their entire lives and are barely holding it together. Don't assume people are juust jerks, they usually aren't.
