I believe there is a lot of this here. Many don't know how to use the circles when driving and their confusion leads to those who know getting upset. Then we have the natural angry person and the villager's are not all "happy people". A very good illustration of this are the posters to the OP's complaint and are the ones who try use it as an excuse to voice wise cracks, awful humor, and just being rude. Doing this is a fact that the persons are angry and release this anger through attempts at putting someone down. What is ironic is that the person is part of the rude being discussed and my bet is most are year around residents as are we. Net: We should respect the person who was upset and if we disagree be respectful in responding and not demonstrating the same attitude and negative behavior as being challenged. Of course there are "snowbirds" who are angry as there are villager's. I believe it is safe to say that "wise cracks" and poor humor is just another form of anger.  |
OP was not respectful to begin with. She set the tone by saying she was laughing at others in line (secretly or otherwise) and blasting other people who felt inconvenienced, while failing to see the irony in what she herself was doing. I see nothing wrong with pointing that out.
After all, if you're going to dish it out, you ought to be able to take it. And that's a mighty big blanket statement about people using humor and wise cracks being angry. I don't think it's safe to say that at all.
