Four ways of looking at an angry note discovered on the sidewalk

  1. The person to whom the note was written is an asshole. I imagine a pedestrian or biker was cut off by someone driving while talking on his cell phone. The note-writer saw him park, and then wrote the note with full justification. Nobody is worse than inconsiderate cell phone car talkers! They think they're more special than everybody else. Busier. Better. Like if they hit someone, that person wasn't that important, anyway. AKA: asshole!

  2. The person who wrote the note is an asshole. I hate to admit this but I do not have a pristine record of being a perfect person in the car. Sometimes I'm distracted. Sometimes I just don't see things. Sometimes I get mad. I've been the victim of road rage a few times because of my own doing and it feels awful. First, I feel guilty for being a bad driver and then I feel angry that the person expressing anger can't just let it go (once time I did get yelled at by someone because apparently I cut her off and I had no idea, and I basically said "I had no idea. I'm sorry." And she backed down. So that was kind of cool.) So the person who wrote the note, who took the time to critique a stranger and call them a profane name, is the real asshole.

  3. Both these people are assholes. Why can't people drive carefully? Why can't people fend for themselves without resorting to namecalling? WHY IS THERE LITTER ON THE SIDEWALK? People are the worst.

  4. Angry strangers are hilarious. Look at this tidy handwriting. What is a headset, anyway? That driver probably totally deserved that note and the author of the note probably wasn't looking where he was going. These two assholes deserve each other. I'm going to have a glass of wine.
