That's a nice story. It's nice to be reminded that not everyone on the road is an angry, unbalanced nut. When I'm crawling in bumper-to-bumper traffic and realise that I want to change lanes, frequently I will just politely ask the car next to me, "may I go in front of you?"

It's amazing. I've never had anyone tell me to fk-off and forget it. Their demeanor changes from aloof or *tough guy face* to relaxed and they say say, "sure, go ahead". In L.A. traffic. Every imaginable type of person. (From outside appearances).

It just makes life so much more enjoyable when people treat each other OK, especially the countless strangers that we all interact with every day.
