Dumbest Thing You Believed

That my Dad would get pulled over if I turned on the dome light in the car at night while the car was moving.
On the other side, I learned how to talk to cops because I was with my dad twice when pulled over for speeding. Really simple, be polite, crack a stupid joke, 2 of 4 I drove away with a verbal warning, 1 they dropped the speed down from 13 to 5 over, 4th motorcycle cop was having a bad day.

Everything has to be such a freaking ordeal now. Just treat each other with courtesy and most of these problems go away.
This. Also, people are different. Some might not like the interaction. Others might welcome it. There are no hard and fast rules. Interaction with other humans is the price of living in a society, whether you're an athlete or not. And not all of those interactions are going to be your favorite. The best advice in all of them is "Don't be a ****".

Seems easy, but "courtesy" means different things to different people.

I think of being on a plane. Momma KnappShack would find it rude if she DIDN'T talk to everyone. I find it rude if you don't leave me alone.
Yes well if the worst thing we deal with on a daily basis is someone that's slightly annoying but friendly taking a few mundane moments of our life then I think we're doing ok.

If I don't want to talk them I'll just tell them nice to meet you but I've got some things that need my attention.
