The Rules of Civility

I have two rules:

1) If someone irritates or annoys you and it persists, find some little but significant way to serve them.  Sooner or later they’ll be vulnerable in some way, when it comes take the high road and do the right thing, it’ll balance it out and they’ll feel in your debt, even slightly.  I swear, this works like a charm every time.

2)  Traffic is a good metaphor for life.  For instance, if I’m in a lane and someone really needs to get in, and they approach nicely, I’ll do it most times.  If someone approaches it with privilege and demands it, rot in the other lane, buddy.
