what's your damage?

The girl blithely stepped out into traffic against the green light. She seemed happy, talking on her cell phone while listening to her ipod headphones at the same time. Six cars waited for her to mosey on through.

After not making eye contact, he opened the door exactly far enough to slide sideways through it and pulled it shut. Following one step behind, I opened it again for myself.

The driver turned left through morning traffic on Peachtree. The woman in the Cadillac pulled up exactly in front of him, blocking the last lane he'd have to cross to get into the parking lot. She studiously ignored him as he sat blocking two other lanes.

Doug has often said that if he were a millionaire, he would get a big-ass car and a lot of insurance and give these people what they deserve. Wouldn't that be fun?

That's the temptation for me. I drive a 13-year-old pickup that won't notice bumping into you. Darn that insurance though.
