The other day I jumped a red light. On train tracks.
I make the premise that I'm a fairly "good driver", I don't speed, I'm not aggressive, I never do unsafe things, I don't road rage, I don't tailgate and all that.
I never got a fine in 30 years I've been driving.
I just approached the light and my brain went "hey, you should go, quickly".
I still can't explain what crossed my fucking mind. Now I'm afraid I'll have another short circuit, maybe when I'm riding my motor cycle, and hurt myself or others.
I've had a similar thing happen this year. Someone introduced themselves to me while I was in a hurry. My stupid ass replied: "That's cool." This was a few months ago and I'm still embarrassed about it.
Just yesterday I was trying to pay for something but it wasn't going through. I had just got off the bus so of course I was trying to use my transport card to pay instead of my debit. I've done the opposite at the train station, where I went to ask for help and subsequently died of embarrassment. It doesn't help that they're both the same colour and have a similar design.
I remember once handing my credit card to the healthcare provider instead of my insurance card. Her reply was simply: "I'm gonna need a PIN for that." In my defense, it was like 8am.
