yep.
I try and chill my reactions out and imagine the asshole is having a bad day. We're all assholes on bad days. Or weeks, or years.
Sometimes for the protection of others you have to try and do something about the assholes though - like the one likely driving at 90+ km/h in a 30km/h residential zone, who served across a crossroads and nearly hit me and my children... The free pass and compassion goes away as soon as their actions can physically or mentally hurt someone else.
