Yesterday I was in line at a place and the lady in front of me started to drive me crazy. I generally don't get impatient very quickly, but this lady was insane! For what would normally take someone 4 seconds to say, she would take a full minute.
And when you're standing in line, that's a long time.
But then it hit me.
She is probably someone's grandma. Someone's daughter. Someone's friend.
She's not insane, she's just a little different from me. How many times am I the annoying one that people want to shove out of the way?
How would I think differently of this lady in line in front of me if I actually knew her? I bet I'd probably be more understanding... even help her out.
So why not?
New goal: To assume the best about people, rather than just being annoyed all the time.
