TV is NOT perfect (sorry Gracie) but it is hard to find anything much better.
My daughter worked retail and had more than her share of mean people. My advice to her was to have her imagine the mean people were in pain (either physically or mentally) and forgive them their bad behavior. Rather than become frustrated or take it personally, she began being extra nice and going the extra mile for them. Amazingly, several of these mean people went out of their way to tell her manager that she had made a very difficult day so much better because of simple acts of kindness.

That's why I LIKE YOU Red, you are indeed a sage.
Dear original poster: I'd like to add that grace under pressure is worth the practice it takes. Your bonus is that each time you accomplish it, you become more beautiful.
Showing by example is a profound gift to the world... more than you can ever imagine. Don't fret if it appears to be wasted on some... that is not for your concern or your focus to be spent on.
Just keep up the "good work".... and Thank You for your efforts!
(hope your car can look beautiful again soon!)
