A friend recently shared a story of her visit to Carlsbad Caverns. Despite repeated requests from the rangers and prominent signage advising visitors not to touch the limestone structures, several members of her group repeatedly stroked every stalactite and stalagmite within reach.
Do you think they didn’t hear, read, or understand?
Or do you think they simply felt that the rules were meant for others and did not apply to them? Did they consider themselves more special than the ordinary people?
How nice.
