When I moved out of a city into a calm suburb I felt as if I was “on guard” all the time. I would think, “Why are they being nice to me.”
After a while, you realize that in a very large part of the world, people are really nice. Things will slow down for you. Your blood pressure will drop. And you will realize that thing on your face…is sunshine. And you will only take cabs to the airport.
I’m from California. Went to Oklahoma to visit my cousin and we drove to Branson to spend the day and night. There was bumper to bumper traffic on the main road that goes around Branson. I’m driving and we needed to turn left so I put my blinker on, stopped, and prepared to wait. The guy coming toward me in the other lane stops, holding up traffic, and just sits there. I looked at my cuz and said…what the hell is that idiot doing?! I thought she was gonna bust a gut laughing while she said….he’s waiting on you, gonna let you go. I said…why?! Meanwhile traffic is stopped all around us on both sides of the 2 lane road. Lol. Finally she said…just go! He’s just being nice! I went. 😂😂
