A clear example of my sig

Delivering a Jeep yesterday after swapping in some axles. Leave the house, low fuel light comes on, so I take the back way down the winding road into Capo proper to get some fuel at the 76 station.

Halfway down the hill, a SuperDuty shorts the corner and I have to slam on the brakes to keep from plowing into him. I threw both hands up in frustration at this idiot and his poor driving and I guess he must have seen my reaction. Looking in my rear view mirror I see brake lights and then him stopping. I don't have time for this, so I keep going to the station to fuel up.

About 3 minutes into fueling, a White SD pulls up in the lane on the other side of the fuel island and when I look over the passenger side window is down and some guy is waving at me to step over which I do.

He says- "Was that you that I shorted the corner on"? I say "Yep, that was me".

He replied- Sorry about that, I was having a bad day and not paying attention, I apologize.

He chased me down the hill and found me to apologize. How cool is that?

Im a firm believer in that everything you say and do lead to some sort of a positive outcome. I dont have room in my life for negative people or thoughts.

Nice to see someone taking responsibility for their actions. There are still some decent people out there, but unfortunately, they seem to be outnumbered by the idiots.
