MrNybbles's Journal: Mean Drivers

Today I was driving home at around 1:30am after a productive evening making some intro tapes at the public access TV studio. Please keep in mind that bars close at 1:00am here and the jerk I ran into is probably driving home drunk. Driving home on a long streach of road the guy driving in front of me decides to flip me off for a few miles then begins to flip me off while driving 30mph under the speed limit. I tried passing him twice but he sped up to keep me from passing and even looked like he tried to move in front of me to block me.

This made me angry until I realized that I was driving a large powerful truck and he was driving a small pissant car that could easily be rammed off the road into the nearby cactus and bushes. He probably had no idea what a bad situation he was putting himself in and that I was the one with all the power.

Now I suddenly understand the game "Grand Theft Auto". Someone probably has a similar experience and though about dragging the jerk from his car, taking the car, and running the jerk over with his own car. If you must run somone over, do it in a video game.

I guess the important thing to remember is "Never underestimate the human ability to create chaos."
