You know what they say, folks… good things come to those who wait. 

Yes, it's true that patient folks tend to be happier in this world, though I myself cannot exactly count myself as one of them. As a native New Yorker, I have frequently found myself rolling my eyes at people who are unable to let the subway doors close so the train can keep on moving. However, although that tends to be my nature, my people-pleasing non-confrontational sensibilities make it easier for me to stifle my annoyed feelings and to present an air of calm. So although I may look like a patient soul, deep down, I am screaming like the rest of you. 

Impatience often becomes a problem in these circumstances when strangers collide in public places: on transportation, on the street, and in parking lots. Here is one story about a family who refused to let an impatient driver take their parking spot…

  • We all know how stressful parking in a popular area on the weekends can be. This driver's experience was made all the more worse by an impatient dude who was hoping to take his parking spot but refused to wait his turn. When the driver's Mom (who was with him in that moment) caught on to what was transpiring, she took her son's side and the family decided they were not going to let this man off easy.

    This happened earlier today, it was short and sweet. Was in one of the more crowded malls in my city where people go to especially on a Sunday with fam and everything. The mall is attached to a nice 5-star hotel, apartment complex,

    ballroom, etc. You get the idea. Getting a parking spot is a b especially on Sundays, more so than Saturdays. So I'm done with my weekly lunch and shopping round with parents and got into the car. I literally just got half of my body into the driver's seat before

    So here starts the waiting game where was abt 5 meters away the old c with his signal lights waiting for our spot while we're chilling in the car. Nail in the coffin was me exiting the car with my walk back towards the mall.

    Dude saw me and started turning his head for other spaces, went away within 15 secs. Ofc I walked back to the car and got ready to move. Another car was immediately waiting for our spot and this guy politely waited for our spot, no flashing no nothing.

    Went away happily and shared a laugh with my parents. And there ends the family sanctioned Sunday dose of petty revenge :)

    Novagurl. Isn't the code to pull up put on your blinker and look very unbothered and wait as long as you need to?

    Even if I'm annoyed at waiting, honking or yelling surely isn't going to make anyone move faster.
