Summarize the following:
Anything hanging on the walls has to go, including artwork and mirrors. Take down curtains and other decorations that could get in your way. Consider also moving furniture out of the room so it isn't in your way while you're painting. At the very least, slide it away from where you're painting so nothing drips on it. Note anything near or on the ground. Even though it might not be in your way now, it could be when you start painting the rest of each wall. Shut off the room's electricity using your home's circuit breaker or fuse box. Once you're sure the electrical components are safe to touch, start taking them off the wall. This includes light fixtures, outlet covers, and switches. Some of them require a screwdriver to remove. If you are unable to remove something, like an outlet cover, you can place painter's tape around it to protect it. The circuit breaker or fuse box is usually on the lowest level of your home. Look for a labeled switch controlling power to the room you want to paint. Although you won't be working with a lot of paint all at once, the risk of drips still remains. Protect your floor by keeping it covered. Spread the tarp or drop cloth flat, then try taping it to the lower part of the wall or floor to prevent it from moving. Protective covers are available online and at most hardware stores along with all the other supplies you may need to paint the walls. For walls that have stubborn stains, try using a grease-cutting liquid dish detergent. Mix about 1 teaspoon (4.9mL) of the detergent into 4 cups (950mL) of warm water. Scrub the wall with the mixture to eliminate any noticeable stains. Any debris on the wall could prevent the paint from adhering properly. This can be a big issue in rooms that get a lot of use, such as your kitchen. For extra power, try adding 14 teaspoon (1.2mL) of white vinegar to the mixture and letting it soak into stubborn stains for 10 minutes. To prepare the wall for painting, eliminate any moisture left on the walls while also checking for remaining debris. Make sure the wall is dry to the touch. Moisture could cause the paint to bubble and crack later. If you used soap, wipe the wall clean with a damp cloth before drying it. You can let the walls air dry and this is usually the easier thing to do while you're preparing your painting supplies. It can take 10 to 30 minutes, so make sure the walls finish drying.

summary: Remove everything in the room that will get in your way. Turn off the power before removing electrical fixtures. Cover the floor with a plastic tarp or drop cloth. Wipe the walls clean with warm water and a sponge. Dry the walls with a clean cloth before painting it.

Summarize the following:
If someone is swerving towards you, honking, yelling, or flashing their high beams at you, you may feel scared or anxious. The important thing is to try and remain calm, and do whatever you can to get home safely. Keep your own emotions in check when others act aggressively. Recognize how you're feeling, and drive as defensively as possible. Try making yourself more comfortable to keep calm. Turn on the air conditioning to cool off, and adjust your seating position (if you can do so safely) to get better situated in your vehicle. Remember that at the end of the day, it's just traffic. Someone else's bad driving shouldn't ruin your day, but if you lose your temper, it could end up ruining your life. If someone is showing signs of aggression, whether through honking their horn, flashing you with high beams, or just driving aggressively, make sure you avoid eye contact with that person. Experts warn that making eye contact with an enraged driver can be seen by that driver as a sign of aggression, and could usher in escalated attacks. Put your signal on to indicate that the other car can pass you (if he is trying to get around you). Keep your eyes forward on the road. Do not even glance in the other driver's direction. If someone is behaving aggressively, it's best to let that person pass by and be on his way. If that driver is in front of you, you can watch him to ensure your safety. If he's behind you, though, he could follow you or try to escalate things further. If the aggressive driver wants to pass you, let him. Any time someone wants to merge into your lane, let them. (Assuming you can do so safely.) Try to avoid braking suddenly by keeping your eyes on the road at all times and scanning the sides of the road for potential hazards. Don't tailgate. Avoid blocking traffic, as this may cause other drivers to grow angry or impatient. When another driver cuts you off, changes lanes without signaling, swerves towards you, or engages in any other perceived act of aggression, you may assume that person is showing you hostility. However, it's possible that the other driver made a mistake. He may not have seen you, or he may be distracted by some pending family emergency. For all you know he's on his way to the hospital, and not out to get you. Remember that humans are capable of making mistakes, even behind the wheel. You've probably made a few yourself. Sometimes extreme situations like poor health or the death of a loved one can cause people to act out in ways they may not even recognize. Before you assume someone was driving aggressively and honk your horn or make a rude gesture, remember that that person may be experiencing something you're not aware of. If someone is following you and it's clear he intends to engage in some act of aggression, do not go home or to your workplace. That would make you an easy target for violence while also letting the driver know where you live or work. Instead, try to get someplace safe where there are a lot of people, or someplace you know the police can help you. Keep your car doors locked and your windows rolled up. Do not get out of the car, no matter how much another driver tries to antagonize you. Any time someone follows you, take a detour to get somewhere safe, no matter how late you are. Drive to the nearest police station. If the other driver is following you with the intention of assaulting you, he'll think twice before doing so in front of a police station. If you can't get to a police station, try getting someplace crowded with people and call the police. You should always avoid talking on a phone while driving, but if someone is following you you'll need to call the police before you even think about stopping your vehicle. In the heat of the moment, it may be very tempting to respond to someone's aggression with your own anger. However, this is simply not worth the risk. Many people are injured or killed during road rage-fueled exchanges with other drivers. Remember that responding to anger with anger will only add fuel to the fire. Try keeping an image of a loved one taped to your dashboard. This can help remind you of everything you'd lose if you got arrested for assault or killed by someone else's violent outburst. Remember that aggressive behavior can lead to your own injury or death, or the injury/death of another person. It's simply not worth the risk. Driving is not a contest. You and everyone else on the road ultimately wants to get home safely to your loved ones.
summary: Stay calm. Refrain from making eye contact. Drive defensively. Give others the benefit of the doubt. Get help if you need it. Keep your priorities in mind.
