If I am in the lane of traffic that (16) ______(to move) I (17) ______(to feel) sarcastic. Sarcasm can be dangerous, though. You can easily upset or annoy people. Your attempt to be humorous may be misunderstood and people may think you (18) ______(to be) nasty. But you need to be aware if someone (19) ______(to be) sarcastic to you.
  5. I am in the movie theatre. A woman with an enormous hat (20) ______(to sit) directly in front of the person who (21) ______(to sit) next to me. I am amused, but only for a few seconds before she (22) ______(to change her mind and sit) directly in front of me.

There are more things that I am ashamed of but I’m going to stop here, just in case it’s not really human nature … and I’m the only one.
