I'm happy to be alive.
Ok, so I was driving a colleague home after work this evening. Sitting stationary at a red light, I took a swig from my water bottle to quench my thirst. Second in the queue. The light eventually turns green. Car in front moves off, and I follow.
Another car decides to come flying past from the right, somehow getting between me and the car in front of me. No idea why. Couldn't justify it in any way. It wasn't like he just scraped in when the lights turned red for him, the lights would've been red for a good 5-10 seconds. I managed to slam the brakes. If I hadn't, I think they would've ploughed straight into my driver's side door (ie. me) at whatever ridiculously fast speed they were going at. That would've hurt.
I must say though, I am kinda annoyed I didn't get to beep the horn at them because I had the drink bottle in one hand and the steering wheel in the other. Oh well, just gotta wait for karma to strut its stuff...

Geez- the coast is sounding more and more like the bronx. Glad you're alive Wayne. Glad you're alive.
Yeah I know hey. I blame teenagers (they're such an easy target, especially during school holidays). Anyway, tune in next post where I shall probably get mugged.
