Meh. I’m glad, then, that the girl in the car was not armed with Sprite. Whew. =)

I’ve been meaning to go car-less. I probably will at some point; problem is, the drive to Gallaudet is 5 minutes for me, and it’s 40 minutes via Metro — I have to take Orange, then Red, THEN either the shuttle or walk. Not effective. I am exploring vespas or bikes.

You should’ve taken a picture of them doing that then publicized it. Now that would’ve been embarrassing to THEM!

No, like Bobby, I was too stunned.

Or the Kendall Gate?

Ugh, what a sight — that would have left a terrible feeling in my stomach! I remember when a friend and I were putt-putting along in his little VW bug (the old type), and we accidentially cut off a bus with a religious organization’s name on the side. The driver hollered at us, and then all the elementary school (or maybe junior high?) aged kids on the bus stick their hands out of the windows and give us the finger, en masse. Really a horrible sight, especially considering the source!

I feel for you. After such encounters it is better to stay quiet and not confront other people at all. Never know what might happen.

In trying to get out of a shopping center in heavy traffic, I waved and finally cut into traffic without incident, but another car tried to get into the space that was opened for me. The driver, a woman, lost to me and immediately screamed and flipped me off.

I stared. It looked like a coworker, who would become my boss the next year. Appalled, I stared again at her at the next stoplight and she pretended not to notice, apparently not embarrassed. Yes, it was HER.

Nothing was said. However, every time we had meetings, I remembered that incident and how I felt. It certainly had its impact on our professional relationship. Although I no longer work there, it will in the future affect any community dealings I have with her.

It’s a small world, especially in the deaf community.

Bobby, that situation sucks, but it’s still better to be the ‘bigger person’ in that matter. But still, no one NEEDS to drive to Gallaudet. There’s a metro stop not but 6 blocks away. It’s a nice walk down M-Street especially in this nice weather.

It’s DC - save the money, go car-less!

By the way, why can’t Gally open the 7th street gate for pedestrians?

Speak of sheer irony…
D.C is fifth on the list of the rudest driver population in the nation.

I wonder if that includes passengers? ;)
