The State of Communication Today

A man was about to drive out of a convenience store

parking lot when he saw the truck driver emerge from

 

his cab across the street and look both ways waiting

for the opportunity to dash across and deliver a pack-

 

age. The man needed to turn left and it would be into

the driver’s path and so he shouted, “I’ll wait till you get

 

across before I go.” The driver, reaching the other side,

looked back at the man as he drove left onto the road

 

and shouted, “What did you say to me?” in a confront-

ational, belligerent way. The man repeated what he said

 

and the driver turning on his heels, simply said, “Oh.”
