His message:
Law of the Garbage Truck 🚛
This has to be one of the best messages I have received because when you sit and think about it.... It is so true!
One day, I hopped in a taxi and we took off for the airport. We were driving in the right lane when suddenly a black car jumped out of a parking space right in front of us.My taxi driver slammed on his brakes, skidded and missed the other car by just inches!
The driver of the other car whipped his head around and started yelling at us. My taxi driver just smiled and waved at the guy. I mean, he was really friendly.
So I asked, 'Why did you just do that? This guy almost ruined your car and sent us to the hospital!'This is when my taxi driver taught me what I now call, 'Law of the Garbage Truck'
He explained that many people are like garbage trucks. They run around full of garbage, full of frustration, full of anger, and full of disappointments. And when their garbage piles up, they need a place to dump it and sometimes they'll dump it on you.Don't take it personally. Just smile, wave, wish them well, and move on. Don't take their garbage and spread it to other people at work, at home, or on the streets.
The bottom line is that successful people do not let garbage trucks take over their day.Life's too short to wake up in the morning with regrets, So ... Love the people who treat you right. Pray for the ones who don't. Life is 10% what you make it. AND90% how you take it!
Have a garbage-free life.

My response:
This story actually happened to me yesterday.
Yesterday I was in the subway station and the train finally arrived. I stood to the side as everyone got off the train as that is the polite thing to do in this situation in NYC.
After everyone got off, I boarded the crowded subway. Right before the doors closed some guy who had just gotten off the train started muttering about strings in my general direction and reboarded the train. I followed the 'Law of the Garbage Truck' and smiled at him and gave him the benefit of the doubt that he was not talking about my tzitzit.
Finally everyone is boarded and the doors close and the train starts to move. This man starts giving a speech to the crowd about Jews and about how evil Jews are. I feel so bad that someone could be that misguided!
He talks about how Jews steal everyone's money, and want to privatize everything for profit. He was saying all this to me and because I was there. He was 'dumping his garbage' all over myself and Jews as a whole.
He continued talking about how Jews are evil and are the cause for everything. He talked about how he learned all this in his sociology class and continued going on about this. My response stayed the same, a steady and consistent smile.
When I finally got to my stop, I told the obviously misguided man that I hope he has a successful and great life with nothing but luck and success and I left the train. I was determined to not let his garbage get to me. I was determined to not let him ruin my day. I left the subway knowing I was the better person in this situation and I knew that by ignoring his ignorance it would make me a more successful person. I walked home feeling very satisfied with myself.
Haha. Just kidding.
I yanked that antisemitic pig off the train and had his sorry ass arrested and charged with a hate crime cuz I'm not a major pussy, like the taxi driver in that story.
His response:
I hope you have an awesome day!
Now back to me:
And yes, I did post that Milo meme to the group. Milo memes are the best!
Oh, and anyone who attends sociology classes automatically gets downgraded at least 34 IQ points.
