Driver arrogance

Last night I was riding in a Lyft car on my way to dinner with friends. At an intersection the car in front honked and the driver gave the finger to a car and driver at the stop sign to our left. Apparently he wasn't moving through the intersection in the way the driver ahead of us would have liked. Seeing that happen the oddest thought struck me completely out of the blue. I said to myself at that driver, “This place isn’t yours. You’re just a temporary tenant. Treat it respectfully. Asshole.” 

Such a strange thought to have to an event unrelated to it. Even down to such a granular level as cars at an intersection we think all of "this" was created for us. We believe it's here for our convenience and plunder. How sad and arrogant.
