it was her birthday and she was kinda bitching about not getting a birthday cake while we were in chicago so maybe some people felt bad for me having to put up with her garbage attitude?

she may be an entitled brat on her birthday and an aggressive driver but she is mostly an absolute gem of a person.

This thread pretty much disproves any idea of altruism, huh?

I let people in all the time on the highway.
This is very hard for me to do because on the rare occasion i do this they generally do something really stupid in front of me.

QFT. I feel like if I let someone in ahead of me it's only going to enable more stupid driving behavior.

paying for the person behind you in starbucks sounds more like paying it backward.

next time im at starbucks i will offer to pay for the person in front of me.

Like 2.5 years ago the parking lot at work was over-flowing really badly and they got some overflow parking which was like a block from the building but nobody parked there because they didn't want to walk. Well I parked there because I am a good person and they gave me a $5 starbucks gift card for doing so. I promptly gave away said gift card

Boy howdy that was a long story.

Starbucks line. Twice. Had someone pay my bill. It ends there. I don't pay for the next guy, I just tip very well and drive off.

On Anniversary, Wife and I had someone pay our bill at a restaurant once too. Again, just tipped like a boss and bounced.

I've never had anybody anonymously pay for anything of mine. Seems like a strange thing to do.

I'm definitely right about this.

the car behind you will pull up to the drive thru window in the future

If you win a footrace, does that mean the other person finished ahead of you in time?

well forward of you in time, at least. i see we might have a word ambiguity issue here.

they will finish after you in time, ahead on the timeline.

puniraptor · « **Reply #43 on:** June 23, 2014, 05:01:53 PM »

so i guess my answer is yes

puniraptor · « **Reply #44 on:** June 23, 2014, 05:13:24 PM »
