Now I need to change my Underwear

Post by Coffeejunkie »

So I'm heading into work at around 4:30am this morning on a one way street, and as I was heading through a large underpass I see headlights right in front of me. :shock: I started laying on my horn hoping that Mr. too drunk to know better would turn around, but not right when I was passing him.

Luckly they waited until me and the other car passed by, and I made it the rest of the way a little bit shaken up.
Life is too short to drink bad coffee.

I had that happen to me in the cage before, I had to pull over really fast onto the shoulder and honk wildly because it was a pretty busy highway, people going 65 mph! The 4 lanes are separated by a median and apparently they had no idea! I saw them pull over about a block down the road and just sit there. Probably thinking about how lucky they were there wasn't as much traffic as there usually is.

I remember having this very serious conversation about my work with my adviser in graduate school when I glanced out the open door and saw a car go by, the wrong way, on a one way two lane road. I still to this day do not know what he said for the next few minutes because all I could do was listen for the crash, that luckily never happened.

and remember, when crossing a one way intersection those driving the wrong way don't have a light either. :roll:
