The other day I was slowly accelerating on an on ramp to merge onto the 3 lane freeway.

I could see that the 18wheeler was going to be blocked from moving to the middle lane
to let me in, so I slowed my acceleration so that he would pass by smoothly first,

and I got rewarded by him blinking his lights in appreciation.

In this day, and age; thats a big deal to me. Nice to travel on the road with someone who actually thinks!!!
