I conducted an experiment today, with possibly surprising results (unless you’re as cynical as I am). on the way to/from court, I made a conscious effort to change lanes “properly”—signaling first, checking that I was clear, then moving over. none of it rushed.

the result? I got screamed at, flipped off, and honked at a hell of a lot more than usual. I also came very close to getting rear‐ended several times by the usual assholes. y’know, the people who see someone signaling a lane change and decide they must prevent it by placing their car in the way? yeah, them.

conclusion: I’m going to continue being a demon on the road. it’s safer. o_O

I remember when I went to pick my dad up from LAX, I was stopped at a red light for a cross walk, but when it turned green, there wasn't room on the other side for me to be, so I didn't go, so I wouldn't block the cross walk, as per law.

This asshole in an SUV swerved around me, yelled out his window "learn to drive", then proceded to block the crosswalk in front of me.
