I can still vividly remember (and can still picture the scene in my head) a few days after I had returned home from the big city where my world slipped on its axis and chucked me off; of pulling into a parking spot outside our post office to collect the mail, when I was accosted by a "lady" who then proceeded to inform me that my rear left side brake light was not working.
I was very much in my ANGRY phase and I surprised myself and everyone at the post office by replying, "Well if that's all you have to worry about in your day, be very, very glad you are not wearing my shoes".
I would never have responded in such a manner prior to BC.
Got back in my car and drove the 10 kms home and left the mail for another day!
Never did find out who she was. I no longer have much tolerance for shallow people, however I have learnt to keep my thoughts to myself, my anger well contained and my mouth shut. Smile sweetly? Never.
