Smile Consideration

Today I was driving around the square at Lake Sumter. We made it a practice to follow the law and always stop if someone is crossing the street.
I stopped to allow a very elderly couple cross and the car behind me started to blow her horn. After they crossed she drove up next to me, opened her passenger window and proceeded to scream at me for allowing them to cross and holding her up. She was almost out of control because I had stopped. I reminded her she probably would need the same consideration shortly and to be more thoughtful.
I looked at it as being sad for her since she obviously had lost touch with
the need to help others and apparently was living an angry life.
