[quote=Anonymous]I just witnessed the rudest, most upsetting behavior in Clarendon. A young man was double-parked WITH HIS FLASHERS flashing on Wilson Blvd at the intersection where CVS sits across from the Metro. As traffic went by, a cyclist in one of those bright yellow jackets, while stopped at the red light, screamed at the driver minding his business to MOVE his CAR. I can’t imagine how startled that motorist must have been, with a maniac yelling at him to move as rush hour cars whizzed by. Where was he going to go? Can’t we find a little bit of civility and take a breath if someone else deigns to SHARE the ROAD!!??? Wouldn’t life be better if the cyclist let the car thing go, swung out around the live-parked car and continued on his way? Instead he went ahead and poisoned EVERYONE’S afternoon to not even enforce whatever justice he thinks should exist for everyone else.

I pledge to forgive that angry cyclist man and to practice civility if I’m ever so unfortunate as to encounter him. I hope we all can do the same with those who violate some personal preference we have.[/quote]
