I take it this was a side street and not a through street?

They got out of your way as soon as they were aware of your presence. You
didn't even need to ask them to move. What's the problem?

And how do you know they did this "grudgingly"? You could tell from a look
at them?

he slowed down whatsoever. How dare they impede his access to his
spagetti-os.

Pretty much. If you debate this point you either don't drive, or you
are one of those asshole LLBs we see so often.

Wow. You're saying that not only can you tell what Scott was thinking, you
can tell what those kids were thinking too. Can you tell what I'm thinking,
right now? I'll tell you if you're right
