Patience is something you admire in the driver behind you and scorn in the one ahead

Patience is something you admire in the driver behind you and scorn in the one ahead

Mac McCleary was known for his impatience on the road. He was always in a rush, weaving in and out of traffic, honking his horn at slower drivers, and tailgating anyone who dared to drive below the speed limit. He had a reputation for being a reckless driver, and many people avoided being on the road with him at all costs.

One day, Mac found himself stuck behind a slow-moving car on his way to work. He was already running late, and the frustration of being held up by a driver who seemed to have no sense of urgency was almost too much for him to bear. He honked his horn repeatedly, flashed his lights, and even tried to pass the car on the shoulder, but to no avail. The driver ahead of him seemed completely unfazed by Mac's attempts to get around them.

As he sat seething in his car, Mac couldn't help but think about the quote he had heard before: "Patience is something you admire in the driver behind you and scorn in the one ahead." He realized that he was the driver ahead in this situation, and that his impatience was causing him to be the object of scorn rather than admiration.
