I have been in these situations a number of times before during some of our drive outs to lunch thingee with colleagues. We were sitting in the car after our meals and driving back to the office, I was driving during these occasions.
One of these occasions was this lady came from this exit from a bridge which was on the right and she immediately swerved to the left where I was. She ignored me and stuck her head in my way which caused me to stop and she did it with no shame and thought it was her father’s road. I was actually going slow foreseeing what this mad lady wants to do, but my colleagues, especially the girls yelled and commented of how bad the lady driver was. But alas, we did not resort to swearing and showing of fingers as we do not condone that, and we normally do that when we are really really really really really pissed.
And then a conversation sparked even between us in the car. Are men generally more patience than women? It’s like generally men when driving and slammed with these kinda situation, will actually be patience enough and not start swearing and stuff, unless of coz they are faced with a beast where the driver kinda swerve left and right and almost hitting everyone on the road. But then in these situations, the guy would just cool off and sigh.
My colleagues were saying that their husbands and boyfriends can still keep cool in situation on the road where they would get pissed off. As for me, I do have my bad side of the soul, but then when my good side is shining, I would just sigh and shakes my head *tsk tsk tsk*. That’s about it. Why would I want to risk rupturing my arteries when these twerps don’t value their life… Unless you little twerps decide to kiss me from any angles, then I might just start swearing and killing someone. Other than that I guess I m cook with it.
Well some may say it must be pretentious, acting all gentlemen in front of the ladies and stuff, but then again, how many times can you act gentlemen. I know everyone, not only men, but women as well, pretends especially when meeting others for the first time. It’s the mask we all wear outside of our shell. I don’t know, but I am a grumpy and quite bad tempered at times, but then I have been labeled by other as ““happy go lucky”. I might be sad or down or unhappy or angry, but then I always resent from showing it. I just like to make people around me feel happy and jolly. I guess when I see others happy, I feel the happiness seeping inside my soul and thus kicking out my sorrows and anger.
In my opinion, every one is pretentious to a certain extend. As for patience levels, I believe every one has their so call bursting level. And I guess may be men are a little more tolerant in the level factor or they just do not express them openly, unlike for women, whom will express their emotions more comfortably. I do find that especially during jams, men do have a higher level of patience than women. What’s your say?
