I think that's the difference between people that think like you and people that think like me. Most people think like you. They get angry when things don't go there way.

I have a new car and it's important to me that it not get chafed in any way. I am one of those people who will park far and away from everyone else and enjoy the walk. When the time comes that I cannot walk that far I will expect the worse. And feel grateful if someone assumes responsibility for damage.

In an odd sort of way this keeps me happy because I am never disappointed. After all, it's only a car.
