  • I used to do house calls a decade ago for IT work. Often customers offered me beverages.

    Had a European who worked at the UN for decades make me tea. Blew my socks off. I’ve never enjoyed tea, but it seems like we just don’t know how to make it!

    … The next month I was offered tea by a American. I wasn’t expecting it being made by a pro, but let him try.

    He put “hot” tap water into a cup and tossed a teabag in.
    I fake drank it.

    I was on a 3 lane highway going interstate. Doing 80 in a 65 on the fast lane. Big rig in the middle lane. Slowly gaining and will pass the bog rig.

    Then a pickup is coming up in the fast lane TOO FAST. Easily 100mph. She tailgates me. Now boxxed in with me in front and the big rig on her right. A sane person would go in the third lane and pass us since zero other cars around. But no.

    She lays on her horn and starts swaying with impatience.
    So I match speed with the big rig. Maintaining the box. She honks ways more and sways even more. Shaking her fist at me.

    I maintain it for another 2 minutes until my wife gets concerned she’ll rear end us and we end up spinning off the highway or under the big rig.

    I give in and speed up past the big rig and change lanes to her wacko pass. They speed off.

    Yeah it’s never worth it. You never know what people will do.
