the only thing to do is to go out of your way to be nice to other people, especially when it costs you little or nothing to do so....
1) the grocery checkout.... long lines.... if I have a lot of stuff, and someone behind me has only a few, and seems to have some real need for haste (melting ice cream, hot deli food getting cold, cranky rugrats who need to go home for a nap, etc) I will offer that person the chance to step ahead of me.
2) heavy traffic... someone slightly ahead of me in the next lane is signalling to change into my lane... I slow down a bit, opening a gap, and reducing someone else's road rage...
3) opening a door for a person of any gender, any age, any racial/ethnic group, if it seems that they might need the help (arms full of packages, rugrats, etc)
4) smile............................
