what if we all took turns?

Today was one of those days. You know what I'm talking about-

One of those days.

Not good, not bad, but irritating.

And today was a day where I felt overwhelmed by all the 'me, me, ME!' of our society;
it seemed every time I turned around there was someone else, trying to get cut someone off in traffic, dodge ahead of someone in line, trying to get in front of the person who wasn't walking fast enough.

Albeit, most of these sins happen during rush hour, and well, I could let us this stuff not bother me, but I had another thought instead:

What if we all took turns?

I mean, granted, just about everyone on the road had to go to kindergarden at one point, and this was one of the key lessons: Everyone has to take turns.

It could save a lot of grief during rush hour, I'm pretty sure. And probably prevent accidents, since no one would be trying to outrun the red light (they would be waiting for their turn-a green light), there would be more people patient with older people and handicapped people in front of them on the sidewalks, and well, maybe the world would be a bit nicer if everyone could just cool their jets and realize that we're all going to get where we need to go. Maybe not exactly on the exact minute we'd like to arrive, but we would all get there.
With potentially less stress!

Maybe then we could actually use what we learned in kindergarden.
