Thinking about a conversation I was having with an acquaintance years ago. He was a friend of a friend and we were talking about food. I forget the exact phrasing but I brought up loving avocados. He said “what’s that?” I was a bit surprised and explained. He responded “OH thats crazy I thought that was one of those made up words”. The statement was like a flashbang I had to contemplate for a few minutes. PERSONAL STORIES ONLY, DO NOT INCLUDE A STATEMENT FROM A CELEBRITY OR POLITICIAN.
Most recently? I was in a car with someone I don’t like and they pulled a douchebag move skipping a bunch of traffic to make an illegal turn, while running a red light no less. Obviously I was like wtf if your problem cause it was an asshole move but also endangered me. This bitch really said it was fine because no one tried to stop him. We are in a car remind you so I’m like wtf does that even mean, how could the other drivers have stopped you? By like, crashing into you to prevent you from doing that? And he said YES!!! What?? So unless you’re willing to physically intervene on what this dude is doing whatever he does isn’t bothering you… he’s said a lot of other crazy shit of this nature but this was the most recent.
This is why when I was learning how to drive my grandfather said “just remember, every other car on the road… is trying to kill you. Being a good driver is not putting yourself in a position to let them.”
