Dear person in the black car,
I would just like to extend my sincerest apologies for laughing at you yesterday. Because I did. Hard. And I realize today that it was not very compassionate or kind of me.
In my defence it WAS pretty funny that you kept stalling at every intersection…four times in a row. I understand that you were probably learning to drive a standard car and that it is not the easiest skill to learn (this is precisely the reason I have never learned, which makes it even worse that I was laughing at all). But…I’m thinking that possibly the best place to learn would be on some side streets where you don’t hold up traffic at every light. Just a thought.
Obviously I’m no expert when it comes to this, but this would be my two cents on the subject.
Sincerely,
Girl doubled over howling in the grey car beside you.

Too funny!!

Boy, you have patience! I would have been more annoyed than amused.

I’ll teach you how to drive standard! In Norway you have to take your driver’s test on standard, if not it will say on your license that you can only drive automatic…

When learning to drive standard, I stalled 20 times right by my high school with my car pool in the car with me and half the school saw me. It was so embarrassing, so I feel for that person!
