It was a woman who drove me to drink, and I never had the courtesy to thank her for it.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
A woman drove me to drink and I didn't even have the decency to thank her.
I went out with some old friends and we were having fun. A couple of them were very intoxicated. When I went to leave, I refused to let them drive. So when I got pulled over, I was the driver.
I have a responsibility, and it's something that I did wrong, and if I could personally apologize to every single person that has lost a loved one from drunk driving I would.
It may seem strange, but the most grateful I've ever felt was when I was held up at gunpoint. After I handed over my wallet and the mugger ran off into the woods, I thought, 'Thank you for not shooting me.' I was overwhelmingly glad to be alive and unharmed.
Never thank anybody for anything, except a drink of water in the desert - and then make it brief.
But she told me she was never going to drink again.
Courtesy is the one coin you can never have too much of or be stingy with.
Courtesy is only a thin veneer on the general selfishness.
With my wife I don't get no respect. I made a toast on her birthday to 'the best woman a man ever had.' The waiter joined me.
The other day at a drive-through, I reminded the teenage girl serving me that she forgot my drinks. She looked at me, hissed, rolled her eyes, and then took her sweet time getting me the sodas.
