Restraint
... not shouting at the gent in the blue Camry who nearly clips me while I'm crossing the street, then parks his car at a jaunty angle about three feet from the curb.
He has a MENSA license plate frame.
... forgiving the woman in lavender Von Dutch sweatpants who asks the supermarket clerk for extra quarters. "Laundry night," she squeaks.
Princess, every laundromat in this town has a change machine, but you are a Child of God, so I'll refrain from kicking your behind until my leg tires.
... fighting the urge to grab one of the many recyclable cans and bottles in the back seat and hurl it at the slowpoke driving 10 mph in a Buick Riviera festooned with two pristine bumper stickers: "I Love My Cat," and "W '04."
