My drive into work in the mornings – if I’m on-time – is generally pretty dark. And while I don’t exactly enjoy driving in the dark, I don’t really mind it so much. Except for one thing: when some complete wanker in an overisized-I’m-over-compensating-for-something-really-really-small truck pulls up close behind my car. And that happened again this morning. My first thought was, if you need 7 passenger seating in your truck, just go buy a freaking mini-van. My second, and the more important thought to this topic, was “man, that’s really bright”.<\/p>\n

It’s those damn headlights. Since the truck sits so much higher on the road, the headlights are also higher and tend to shine directly into my car. Filling it with light. I think this particular wanker was using his highbeams as well, ’cause that can’t have been the normal headlights. <\/p>\n

It was nearly blinding and I do not like bright lights- especially since my eyes were used to a dark. <\/p>\n

To make matters worse, he pulled up behind me at a stop light. So, I’m trapped and blinded. <\/p>\n

Nice.<\/p>\n

Fortunately, I turned left and the truck turned right. I managed to get away once the light changed.<\/p>\n

It was still annoying and, well, rude. <\/p>\n

a. If you must have a truck that big – well, you really don’t need one that big. It’s silly and a waste of resources.<\/p>\n

b. Stop freaking tailgating the cars on the road. <\/p>\n

c. If you keep doing it, I’m going to get a big-ass mirror and shine that light right back at you.<\/p>\n

All of this rant may have been sponsored by Final Fantasy XII – since I stayed up way too late last night playing. My characters took on a huge freaking dragon and totally kicked it’s ass – then had to walk a few miles back to a save point. Good game.<\/p>\n

That’s about it for now – other than I’m glad it’s Friday. Later…<\/p>\n
