Fucking with a coworker back in the day who drove a monster SUV with zero need. I don't noramlly make judgement on that but I knew the family well. Her husband had a nice truck and their one kid was adult and moved out.

"I drive it because it's safer."

"So you're happy to kill someone in a tiny car like mine, as long as you're OK?"

<stares motherfuckerly>

"Aren't you Christian? What do you figure Jesus would say about that?"

"Get out of my office Shalafi."

🤷🏻

    It bugs me when people refuse to acknowledge they're being a selfish prick. At least have the strength of character to look someone in the eye and say "Yes, I'd rather you die than me". Fucking cowards.

    Old joke, but Jesus drove a Honda sedan.

    He and his disciples were together in one Accord.

    It isn't safer if all of the other drivers are also in massive suvs.
