... shit that apparently only ever happens to me. Was driving a friend home earlier tonight, big mistake, as there was a big soccer game in town, when, on my way back, one of the streets I had to go through to reach the avenue was closed off by the folks from a local favela, and all cars passing through, including me, were being directed into the "community". No big deal, says I, they must have closed off the street for an after-match party... thing, and they're probably just diverting traffic to a different throughway and into the avenue. They weren't.
They were corraling the cars that followed their instructions to a dead end and systematically approaching the drivers, for reasons I didn't find out as I decided it would be a better idea to try and slowly back out the way I came from until I had enough room to turn the car around and GTFO. Somehow, it worked and I managed to drive out the single lane "street" without hitting anything or crashing into any incoming cars.
Stuff I learned:
1) Never drive into a "community".
2) Seriously, don't.
3) Every street in a favela is a dead end, even the one you came from.
4) Space is malleable when you desperately need to turn a car around.
5) Watching a line of cars racing backwards is funny as hell.
6) I might be hexed. No one should have this much bad luck.
7) Smelly Bessy lasts longer than I though.
8) Heh, Smelly Bessy. I'm going to graffiti that on the generator tomorrow.
