I look at the way some people treat others when they are in a foul mood and wonder whether they realized how ugly they looked or how appalling they sounded like in the heat of the moment. And that reminds me of my all-time favorite Law of the Garbage Truck:

I personally think that no one should need to put up with stinky garbage trucks, be it at home, workplace or within the society in general.
I guess how we view ourselves when we look in the mirror can be totally different from how others see us.
As I'm a believer that everything in life happens for a reason, perhaps these garbage trucks are in our lives to allow us the chance to beef up our tolerance levels.
And also to show us that no matter how perfectly symmetrical a person's face is and regardless of how witty, intelligent & charming this person can be during their 'off-peak', 'non-monsoon' periods, at the end of the day, people will only remember you by how you mistreat them.
Even if it was just that once.
Because the fact of life is that one may forgive but rarely forgets.
