Another sign of getting old

Took place on Saturday, March 27, 2010

I just finished an engagement photography job and was on my way back home. The Sun was setting in front of me. I was minding my own business. Just driving…

Then one slow-moving BMW cut me off and cleaned his windshield with soapy water. His fluid hit my windshield. That got me so angry.

I’ve been driving for 20+ years and I have a perfect driving record.

All my life, when somebody washes windshield in front of me, I would always cut him off and give him the same treatment. Now that rich booger in BMW was going to get it. I was ready to pay him back. I took my time and waited for the right moment. The traffic was heavy.

I followed him for about 4-5 minutes, and I got the perfect setting for me to cut him off and give him the squirt of justice.

I changed into the fast lane and started to pass him.

Then I took a look at the driver.

The driver was a young dude. 

He looked miserable. He was struggling because the setting sun was on his face. The poor guy cleaned his windshield, hoping that will fix the glare.

At that moment, I felt ashamed that I thought about paying back to this guy.

Using a windshield wiper while driving is an annoying act. But people who do that are clueless, just like my parents. All they think about is, “Oh my God, I cannot see anything. I don’t want to die.”

I believe my days of “payback” are over. I’m getting old.

I hope the rich booger in the BMW reached his destination OK.
