Not all, of course, but enough that it makes an impression worthy of stereotyping.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s just one example: This morning CarolAnn phoned me (hands free, of course) while on her way to work to tell me about a driver who got so pissed off at having to slow down for her in the morning commute traffic that she passed my wife in the suicide (center turn) lane, lurched into CarolAnn&#8217;s lane and slammed on the brakes, intentionally inviting an accident. When the accident didn&#8217;t happen the angry woman slowed to a crawl and turned on her emergency flashers.<\/p>\n<p>We see this kind of thing more frequently as time goes on. And, as more Californians are transplanted here. Just sayin&#8217;&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Still, it could have been a Texan, who knows?<\/p>\n<p>Big-city Texans honk their horns incessantly. If you&#8217;re at the front of a line of vehicles stopped at a light the person behind you will honk like crazy when the light turns green before you can move your foot from the brake to the gas.<\/p>\n<p>And yet&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>In Texas, you rarely hear about road rage shootings or fights. They don&#8217;t want to kill or pummel you, they just want you to move your ass.<\/p>\n<p>Everything I&#8217;ve just said is observational. My conclusions are just mine but here&#8217;s what I think:<\/p>\n<p>Texans aren&#8217;t rude and aggressive by nature, quite the opposite. But they are fiercely independent which they expect of you as well.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;I got places to go and no time for lolly-gaggin&#8217;.
