Working as a messenger in new york city has taught me how to deal with conflict in the most direct yet smooth way possible. It has taught me, conflict is inevitable but that you don't have to embroil yourself in it. You can deal with it quickly and move away. Taking advantage of the "water that is constantly flowing under the bridge" nature of new York city traffic. I've learned to kick a car on its side, when it was going to turn into me yet after the fact, I just keep going like nothing happened. I don't look back and give a nasty look toward the driver, I don't try to argue the point, I react and then keep going like nothing happened. If the driver wants to pursue me and ask me why i did it I just shake my head as in "I'm not going to discuss this" and keep going". And I'll even apologize as to why I kick their car in.. Sorry about that but you were going to hit me" and I keep going.
