Dealing at a personal level with “bullies”, bad luck, success, poor outcomes, bad weather, etc is all part of life and you simply can’t or shouldn’t try to legislate against the necessary crucible all must endure.”
Then there’s that dickhead on the road coming out of the Holland Tunnel who just won’t yield to let you exit, in the dark when it’s raining. Stomp it, whip in and see the headlights of a car spinning end-for-end behind you in the dark is a wonderful thing.
