I was queueing up for traffic light while approaching my office. The farthest left lane is for left turning only. There was this car who just stop at the line when the light turning into red. I was right behind this car so i soft honk to signal him to turn to the left. At the moment i saw him glanced at me from his back side mirror, and ignored me. I figured he probably wanted to go straight direction and not knowing this is left-turning only lane.I flashed him with lights for couple times again and hoping he is not blocking the traffic behind by turning left. And he ignored again, and from his back side mirror i saw his expression on the mirror as if I am one of the road-buster. His face showed annoyance. At that moment i felt the urge to get down the car and tell him don't ever give this kind of look when he is on the wrong lane for a shortcut in a queue! I am a bit frustrated. He looks 40+ years old guy and i suppose he already had the driving license more than 20 years. Can't he even read the sign or follow the arrow on the road correctly?
I can understand people trying to cut queue or shortcut always for a reason. And i did the same sometimes. But cutting queue at the expense of blocking of traffic is a no-no case. People need to understand when you are trying to do things in a different way, one should not bring the impact on others. The public should not bear the cost of when you try to do things differently. In this case, i really want the guy to know that his annoyance is offensive and not respecting other road users.
But at the end , i didnot get down the car. Just wait till the green light and the car go straight and i turned left. I told myself that God forgives me and so I forgive him also.
James 1:19-20 "...Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry, for man's anger does not bring about the righteous life that God desires."

"Bless those who curse you, and pray for those who mistreat you."
Luke 6:28
Love your enemies and do good to them; lend and expect nothing back. You will then have a great reward, and you will be children of the most High God, for He is good to the ungrateful and the wicked. Be merciful just as your Father is merciful.
Luke 6:35-36
This is what I'm trying to remind myself everyday
