Mustang + drunken behaviour = I don’t want to see the results. In related news, my social anxiety has hit an all time low, or high, idk. I got nervous talking to the 911 operator, oh jeez.

The professionally trained dispatchers expect it and are trained to listen around your nerves.

Emergency center operators on the other hand... I cringe.

I took a very different approach to a bad driver today. Rush hour, stop-and-go traffic, and the girl behind me had her eyes buried in her phone the whole time. So, naturally, I braked late and fast every time hoping to get her to pay for a new hatch on my car. It has a dent on it now, so a replacement would be nice.

But also, fuck her. She deserves to wreck her car anyway just for the reality check. Rather it happen at 15mph than 60.

It’s not a true phone call unless you spent five minutes pacing around your living room with your phone in your hand rehearsing what you’re going to say.

Oh Rainbow, sure it might work out just like you thought. But what if her Takata air bag gets her, or what if she has no insurance or what if......

Karma is a greedy god, tempt her and you might not get what you like...

If anyone ever wants to know what’s a good rule of thumb, my wife works with cops and has heard the rule of three from a couple of them. Essentially they say, if a person does three dumb things that would make most drivers say “I need to pay attention” then it’s worth a call. Because usually one or two of those moments will make most people stop whatever dumb thing it is that’s distracting them and focus on driving.

You did the right thing for sure.

Also, I usually get nervous making a first phone call to somebody - calling them for the second or third time is often much easier.
