Worry About Your Own Grass

It's so easy to fall into the trap of comparing yourself to others. I can easily get down on myself when I stop to think about what some of my friends have, that I don't.

But, to me, her actions seemed a little rude. It got me wondering... why do people do some of the things they do? After doing some Googling, it seems like there are many reasons for why people slam things like doors, cabinets, and toilet seats.
