One day a lady hopped in a taxi and took off for the airport. The taxi was in the right lane when suddenly a black car jumped out of a parking space right in front of them. The taxi driver immediately slammed on his brakes, skidded, and missed the other car by just inches! The driver of the other car whipped his head around and started yelling at the taxi driver. The taxi driver just smiled and waved at the guy really friendly. So the lady (passenger)asked, ‘Why did you just do that? This guy almost ruined your car and sent us to the hospital!’ This is when the taxi driver taught the lady what he called ‘The Law of the Garbage Truck’. He explained that many people are like garbage trucks. They run around full of garbage, full of frustration, full of anger, and full of disappointment. As their garbage piles up, they need a place to dump it and sometimes they’ll dump it on you. Don’t take it personally, just smile, wave, wish them well, and move on. Don’t take their garbage and spread it to other people at work, at home, or on the streets.
