Re: The Love Thread (Or Just Warms and Fuzzies)
I love when people surprise you. Storytime!
So tonight I was driving home from work, and as I was nearing my house this big truck gets behind me, shining his brights right in my mirrors (They were yellowish so I don't think they were those annoying blue-beams). I flip my rearview, but the thing is a tank, so I can't keep him out of my side mirrors, and I can't see a damn thing. What an ass, I think to myself, so I decide to be an assfag right back and stop at the stopsign for an unnecessarily long period of time. He follows me on my turn, and I shake my head, facepalming a little bit inside. Then I realize that he's going to pass me as I park on my street, so I decide to leave the car running and blast my own brights right in his face as he passes.
He pulls up beside me and asks if I'm lost. I tell him no, this is where I live. He tells me that he noticed that I was going slow and that my plates were out-of-state (I moved about a year ago and still haven't registered my car) so he figured I might have been lost. I tell him no, I was going slow because maybe his brights were in my face. He tells me no, it's just a rental truck and that he hates it when he has that done to him, a big fat truck having brighter-than-average headlights gets directly behind him, and apologizes.
Wow, I'm thinking to myself. I completely wasn't expecting that. Not only was he not being an asshole, he responds to my defensive douchebag reaction by actually inquiring if I, a complete stranger, might be lost and need help.
People just aren't made like that anymore.
