I’m open to the possibility that it’s just me being more aware/sensitive to how people are driving around me too. And I’m not necessarily talking about drivers I have to interact with myself but just seeing what people are doing in general.

    nah it’s fucked now. and as a result, I’m more aggressive as well

    had a guy last night with LED bulbs in halogen housings pull up across the red light. put my highbeams on because I couldn’t fucking see. he turned his LED highbeams on. when the light turned green, they swerved towards me.

    funny thing is, that’s similar to what I do when I’m being blinded - I drift towards the center of the road so I don’t go into the ditch. but this guy thought I instigated the situation when I was just responding to him instigating the situation.

    nobody won. we’re both pissed off. it’s stupid. but fuck the assholes, nothing will change unless there are consequences. so I’m gonna try to make consequences for them. and that means I appear as just one more asshole on the road to others.

    another peeve of mine is driver aids. it’s made people so goddamn bad in parking lots. I don’t give a fuck that your backup alarm wasn’t going, I’M WALKING HERE, and “I didn’t see you” isn’t a fucking excuse or apology for you being a dangerous shit driver. fuck you.
