What was day 53, a little off topic but I'm sure it'll make great flame material,
So my girlfriend and I were driving to dinner the other evening, I was driving. I was on a single lane road behind another driver who was driving the speed limit, another woman whom was clearly in rush was directly behind me, following excessively close. You know the kind of close that redneck's follow lexus drivers in their ginormous trucks with the confederate flag and budwiser cans in the back, over compensating for the fact that they aren't ever going to relive their glory day of high school football. Now destined to live out the rest of their pathetic lives with fat beer bellies longing for that life that they will never have... but I digress. So the woman is following too close and this time I decided to have a little fun. I slowed down, not slammed on the brakes, slowed down, I may be a douche but I drive a nice car and I don't want your sorry ass scratching it all up. Slowed down to an obnoxiously slow speed, 10 mph in a 35 after a minute or two of this the woman then tries to pass me on my left by breaking the double yellow, so in pure d-baggery fashion I speed back up to the speed limit.
In the time it took to regain the speed limit, the woman rapidly approached a left turn lane where she had a choice; she could either yield to the power of lameness that is me or she could join our fellow road companions via their rear window. She chose to yield, but not until the last possible moment, with squealing tires she narrowly avoided the accident. Seconds later she found herself directly next to me attempting to convince me of something which really must have been important judging from her attitude. I rolled down my window to listen as we stopped at the following light, she got out of here vehicle and approached mine in order to more clearly illustrate her point. I'm not really sure what she was saying because I was too focussed on how fly I looked in my new shades. When the light turned green I rolled up my window, mind you I was a little worried that her neck would get caught in the window then I'd be up for assault charges not just the douche bag award of the year. I continued on my way until she abruptly pulled in front of me and slammed on her brakes, obviously she doesn't value her car or her life for that matter in the same way I do.
Jumping forward a bit in the story, we parted ways and I continued on to dinner at a new sushi dig near my place. About 10 minutes into the evening, low and behold who comes walking in, you guessed it. I won't go into all of the details that ensued but we'll leave it at, she made a scene and ultimately I apologized for being the danger to society that she so expressively described.
I know I'm a douche, I'm also quite Buddhist and believe in karma, I do onto others. I know it was provoking her, but you sure as shit would not have found me driving like that.
Oh yea and was dip free.
See you in day 56
