You could retire 5 years earlier!
Latest update:
Tom and Ray Magliozzi about folks who like to honk.
Tom: 'The light turns green (we're talking about a nanosecond
here) & the guy behind me "beep"--he's on his horn. Every time this
happens I purposely stall my car & get out to ask the guy behind me
"I'm sorry, was there a problem?"'
Ray: 'To be fair, I've driven behind you; & suffice it to say that
you haven't gotten away from a stop-light in < 20 or 30 seconds. So I
can understand the guy behind you. I don't condone it, but I can
understand.'
Tom: 'That's why I say: it's rude. If I was walking down the
street in front of you & was walking too slowly, would you push me?!
Would you yell at my ear "Hey, jerk, move a little faster!"?! You
would never do that if I was walking. All I ask is: treat me when I'm
in my car the way you would threat me if I was walking down the
street!'
Ray: 'But you know what you do when you're walking down the street
& someone is going too slowly? You go around. & you can't always do
that when you stuck in traffic.'
Tom: '& if you can't, what do yo have to do? You have to wait. The
would has forgotten how to wait. Don't forget we're not talking about
waiting for hours, we're talking about seconds if even that!'
Ray: 'You add all those up. It could add up to years.'
Tom: 'It doesn't add up. If you could get every single one of those
people to move his butt a second of 2 sooner you get to work...'
Ray: '... you could retire 5 years earlier.'
Tom: 'You would get to work a ½ a minute sooner! Big deal!'
