People are assholes. All of us - including you and me.
A great example of this was my wife. My wife has been the director of a local youth charity here in town for the past six years, running everything. The parents involved kill her with their silly complaints and last minute demands. Our kid is moving into a similar group at the high school level where my wife is no longer in charge, and suddenly... She became the parent. Paperwork had to be filled out by all of our kid's teachers, and my wife blew it off until last minute - then on the final day went flying into our kid's school "demanding" that all of the paperwork be filled out and returned to us in less than six hours. For five or six years she complained about the parents and how they waited until last minute and then had unreasonable demands, and then the moment she was no longer in charge... She did exactly that.
We are all bad drivers too. I do it all the time "Oh shit, sorry, I didn't mean to cut you off " or "yeah, he's got brakes".
