Wrath of Grapes: Yelling for a good reason

When Andrei Codrescu was flying to his adopted home town New Orleans, he found himself subjected to a loud-mouthed passenger, who was offering grapes to her parents and all the passengers next to her. Codrescu got very angry as the woman was speaking in a bad, loud and annoying voice. After a while, he found out that the woman was speaking loudly because her parents were hard of hearing. He felt SHAME.
The lesson we can learn from this event is that one should always find excuses to others. One should be aware of the causes and consequences of any behavior before taking a reaction. Codrescu thought that the woman was an annoying person but she, actually, was not. She was speaking in a loud voice for her old parents to be able to hear her. She was yelling for a good reason.
