I always remind myself that the person driving the cab has a very good chance at being much better educated than me.

Another place that I get my comeuppance is in the "rooms" (AA, NA, etc.). When first meeting someone it is very easy to view them in a one-dimensional frame (the reason they/(I) are there). But with a little conversation I learn how multi-dimensional and talented they can be. These learning experiences are good for my humanity and humility.
