1. Xenon headlights. Thank you. I'm legally blind now. Why do you need headlights like that? Did you lose a contact lens while on the highway last time and now you're looking for it at 75 miles an hour - hoping that the magical headlights will make it twinkle on the pavement so you can slam on the brakes and pick it up? Jerks.
2. Trucks. Great, you've got a big-ass truck that could drive over a school bus. How awesome for you. Are you aware that the ground clearance also elevates your headlights? And that when you drive behind my normal, human sized, car - you flood the interior with enough light to make the dessert at noon look like the bottom of the freaking ocean? Thanks. I'm blind again. It would be even more awesome if you could please tailgate me for the next 50 miles. Jerks.
3. High breams. Take this quick quiz: "Am I using my high beams when:"
a). There's a car directly in front of me?
b). There's a car coming towards me?
c). There's a car anywhere near me?
If you answered yes to any of those questions, congratulations! You're a jerk. And I'm blind. Again.
I had this a lot on the drive back on Sunday. And as the winter months approach, my morning commute is darker and darker.
In other news... my default mood the past couple days has switched to "irritable". It's usually "slightly annoyed", so, a bit of a downgrade on that. Not sure what's going on and I'm hoping I get over it.
Back to work... later...
