Impatient people and people who like their jobs

One of the more popular vehicles here is the Ford F-150. I hope that doesn't come across as some plug or anything but really a lot of people here drive trucks, a lot of people drive big trucks, and many people drive F-150's or greater. There are also some really impatient drivers. I have to say I wasn't as familiar w/truck drivers before as I am now.
The other night when we were driving home, we were stopped for a train crossing. This can take up to 5 minutes, depending on the length of the freight train, how many cars there are, etc. Apparently this proved to be just TOO Much for one driver (of an F-150)- after a couple minutes waiting, he just could not tolerate it any longer! He tore off, driving over the curb to take a detour through town to avoid the rest of the wait! It's rough, isn't it. Being expected to wait for the train to finish crossing like everybody else. Now I'm not saying F-150's equal more impatient drivers... but...there does seem to be a correlation there.

On the other hand, the people who work at the Farmer's Market are sooo friendly and chatty. Maybe it's because they know they are stuck there all day but they really are outgoing and sociable and seem appreciative of your business. Any time you go in, no matter what you buy, they are super nice.
As is the woman at the post office! She seems to truly like her job.
