Confessions of a Liberal Puritan

Several years ago, I was in a minor accident when I hit the side of a cab that pulled out in front of me from an illegal parking spot without signaling. I was trying to be calm and not be "that guy" who screams and flips out, but by the time we got to the police station to give statements, he was in full-on lying mode. He lied about the direction in which we were both going and a million other unnecessary things. It's like traffic accidents switch something off in the brain. It was frustrating, but at the same time, everytime the cop said, "Well, that's just not possible, given what you've said about this," I was just cracking up at the absurdity of it all.

I'm glad you're ok and sorry that you have to witness the seamy underbelly of dumb people. It is frustrating and baffling.
