Ever have that drive to cut someone off in traffic because they cut you off? No, me neither.

We people do petty things.

• Saying "fine, goodbye," abruptly as a way to passively signal our negativity towards a conversation.

• Striving for the last word in while arguing with others.

• Sharing the gossip about someone before they apply for a job.

• Seeking to discredit the work of someone else because you're upset they beat you.

We all do it.

The question I am starting to ask myself, "Did I get what I was hoping for by doing that?"

More often than not, always, the answer is "no."
