stay away from the light
Today hasn't had the best of beginnings for me. 1) It's cold, 2) It's pouring rain, and 3) I almost died this on my way in to work. I was on the highway when a tractor trailer pulled right in front of me. No when I say "pulled right in front of me" I don't mean "signaled, waited, then moved in front of me into my lane when it was safe". No, he (or she - it was dark and I was too traumatized afterwards to take note of what the driver looked like) was on the shoulder of the road and went from there to right the fuck in front of me in all of 2 seconds. I was less than 3 feet from the back of the truck and there was a car in the lane next to me. If that car hadn't sped up the little bit that they did, giving me just enough space to swerve into their lane and manage to narrowly miss their bumper, I would've slammed into the truck and at the very least, totaled my car. Stupid fucking truck drivers.
