When I was, I guess, about ten I saw some demented old fart drive straight into a level railway crossing. The barriers were down, the lights were flashing, the sirens were wailing. I know this, because I'd just had to walk over the footbridge to avoid the crossing. His car got caught and couldn't move. A passer-by literally had to drag him out of his car and he was livid - fucking incandescent - that the whole world was conspiring against him like this. I was the one who called 999 from an adjacent payphone and the train was stopped before it could make the situation worse. I left before the emergency services arrived but I seriously hope he was on the receiving end of some of that police brutality I hear so much about.
Actually, while I'm here - and at no additional cost to you - here's a similar story I posted in another thread where the question was about assholes on public transit:
I bumped into a friend who is cop in the British Transport Police at a station while he was working. While I was there somehow a happy-drunk guy fell between a train and the platform and got stuck. That's not the crazy part.
The crazy part is the four separate people who all ended up getting arrested because they attacked my friend and the other responders trying to free the stuck man - physically kicking and trying to drag them away - because he/they wouldn't order the train to leave the station and it was making them late. Four separate people, all apparently sober, all absolute psychopaths who would happily see someone mangled by a train so they wouldn't be inconvenienced, and so utterly convinced of their righteousness that they were prepared to physically attack police officers and paramedics.
I was later told this is pretty normal when there's a "one under": aside from the person who fell getting injured or dying, the biggest immediate problem is a handful of narcissistic cunts who interpret the whole thing as some kind of personal insult. It really shook me that anyone could be like that.
My OG Pebble is still going strong, but I have pre-ordered the new Pebble Time 2 because it just looks like a straight-up upgrade. The fact that the new Pebble company is fully supporting the old devices makes me want to buy their new devices even more.
"with cheese"? Yeah, okay.
Just "cheese"? No, bullshit. That's like saying "meat" or "fruit".
