After reading this whole post, all you get out of it is that I called my maid a maid. Mo, dude, back then she was our maid, today you can call her whatever the fuck you like, but just check here first.

If you’re too lazy: “A maidservant or in current usage maid is a female employed in domestic service.”

Plain and simple bro, in the Free State or any other place.

But don’t you find it weird that one can greet another on the pavement, roadside, street etc etc but not when you’re in a car? Think about it, how many times have you casually gazed across at the car next to you and out of the kindness of your heart you give a hearty hello. The recipient will stare back with a look of utter shock in that another human being can actually want to engage in pure, innocent friendliness. And as you smile and perhaps even lift your hand to wave to them, you’re blinded from the glare from their knuckles turning white as they tighten their grip on the sterring wheel. Their head slowly turns away from you as they then look with anticipation up at the robot which for them seems as though the red light has been red for the past few minutes. They slowly creep forward just out of sight ahead of you in the hope that you get the message that they are not to be socialised with in any way….until you then creep forward and re-align yourself with them and as they look over at you again and are about to flip you the bird, a toot from the car on the opposite side of them turns their way and says howzit to you. Their role in this whole greeting was that they were in the way of you saying howzit to a buddy one lane over! Lesson taught, don’t be a prick and lesson learnt, you’ll most likely tolerate people in traffic from now on regardless of wether you’re involved or not.

It’s a great post Don reminding us all to be a little more human.
