Is it wrong of me to wish for cars racing down the interstate to crash? I hope not because I do wish for that to happen. I also hope they aren't wearing their seat belts.
I had to make an impromptu trip back home from The Woodlands since the Mrs. left her outfit for brunch tomorrow (she didn't want to miss Midnight Mass since her Mom was serving communion for the first time). I counted no less than 5 cars going at least 100 on I-45 and on the Beltway. I don't wish this, but I braced myself for about to see it happening. I'm taking it easy making my way back up there.
Well this is a pretty safe thing to do. Especially since a ton of wrecks happen when someone turns right when someone coming down the road happens to change lanes. One of the more frequent accidents around.
People who don't tip unless they have a good reason like me last night (but I didn't drive hahaha) at Alamo Drafthouse. I placed my order before the movie started. Within 30 mins everyone had their food and drinks except me. I was thinking about cancelling my order but I was hungry. The waiter comes around in the 2nd half of the movie and asks the people sitting next to me if their meal was okay and if they wanted anything else. He sees me as an afterthought and is like "oh let me check the kitchen". That pissed me off. Did the dude forget or did the kitchen send my order elsewhere? He didn't offer me anything for the wait or an explanation. I didn't have change so I was like screw it. I gave him exactly what the check was. No tip. I'd had to scarf down the meal before the end of the movie. I have to tell you it felt good afterwards knowing the dude was probably pissed at a no tip. LMAO.
Did I tell you'll about the time when I was growing up and was eleven...and I went on vacation with a friend and his family to New Braunfels in their family van? Well, we went over to Hamilton's Pool outside of Austin one of the days. No incidents or anything seemed to occur on any part of the trip that would lead to a keying of the car but, when we got done with a full day at Hamilton's Pool and hiked back to the van, someone went to town on the friend's Dad's van with a key all over the place. The Dad has temper problems as it is but this about blew his damn head off. So, you can have your car keyed for no reason at all sometimes...just because there are idiots out there who key cars when it suits them. I guess their called vandals. Keying a car may not be the best way to get your point across because, unless it is obvious, the person on the receiving end may not know who did it or why. Last, there was a road rage incident that just happened on I-20 near Tyler. Some man driving a minivan with his wife and four children was tail-gating a Toyota with a Mom, daughter, and son in the car. Apparently, this guy was trying to pass them and could not. When he got the chance, he pulled up next to them, mouthed some words, and proceeded to cut them off while passing them. However, he misjudged the distance and clipped the front of their car. They spun out and crossed over into oncoming traffic. They were then hit head-on by a truck. The Mom and daughter died. The son is in critical condition. The driver failed to stop to render aid but not too long after turned himself in. Your classic road-rage incident turned tragic. Two families are likely destroyed...including the road rager's since he's going to jail for two counts of criminally negligent homicide and three counts of failing to stop and render aid. This is why I only mouth off when I'm in a road rage. I don't purposefully cut anyone off or do anything like that to create tragic results like this. But, I'm allowed to curse in my own car without affecting anyone. Or, follow them and key their car. Right?
