I had a regular car tire on a rim in my trunk and hit a tree head on. When I retained consciousness the tire was on my passenger side seat.. Sort of. I climbed out and ran away as there was smoke. The tire broke the headrest and the seat and cracked the dashboard and wedged itself between the floor and seat. Its a bit blurry but I remember clearly seeing how close to death I was and the friend I just dropped off having been even closer.
Stuff in hour trunk can kill you.

Can afford rims but not delivery fees.

My brain isn't accepting this for several reasons, but if you look at a topo map of the east coast and squint, it kinda works

Wait, do they not have rear glass? Where is the rest of that box that's laying on the trunk?

Very true. You’d think you’d use a little planning when throwing your car and whole body into oncoming traffic though. Oh well.

Doesn’t matter, I stopped eating out regardless.
Between Food Inflation, Doordash Inflation, and Uber Eats Inflation, I just got tired of seeing the shit on my credit card.

I work across the street. Old cup was taken down. New cup installed. There is a new sign in the front as well.

I give 20% tips even of mistakes are made. Because the person is working for a living and not on the welfare dole. They are probably getting more profit than the restaurant. No overhead, no liability, no payroll taxes, no rent. Leave it alone CT. Don’t muck it all up. Remember, generational welfare was created by good intentions.

Guy wouldn’t have a chance in a wreck. And the brakes aren’t made for that weight either.

Why can't they get minimum wage and tips?

Some ppl lack critical thinking, and problem solving skills to see that far ahead into their future when driving.

I expect people to follow common sense traffic rules and wait until the oncoming lane is clear enough to drive around the stopped vehicle. I do it, every single time. I’m not talking about a traffic jam, I’m talking about people going 45 into the oncoming lane also doing 45, instead of waiting 5 seconds.

The secret is improvise driving. Not everyone on the road is the same in skills, time, awareness, attitude, and purpose. If the whole situation can not be adjust, adjust yourself or start coordinating with the surrounding and improvised when safe to do so.
Do not assume the driver on the opposing lane will coordinate an improvising effort. Some people are dimwit and rather collide with you than move over when possible to make room for the opposing lane to continue flowing.

Everyone slows down and you kind of take turns. Delivery trucks on a 2 lane road creates one way traffic around them. Be prepared to stop, but if your line is going, then go. Cars should not be expected to blindly follow a UPS truck and stop every 10 feet. You go around when you see a gap, and those approaching should slow and be aware that some cars might be taking their opportunity to overtake the delivery truck.
Like, work together. Stop classifying drivers as asshats for no reason! Do you expect a line of 20 cars to stay behind a mail truck forever?!?
