Misadventurous Melissa

Everyday is an adventure, or misadventure as the case may be. It is the latter that makes for the best stories, inspiring the name of my blog. I'm a nurse and an attorney (and way too silly sometimes). I am retired now. WELCOME to my blog! This is a work of fiction inspired by true events. The patients I refer to are a patchwork quilt of various patient's problems mixed together. If you think you recognize someone, you are wrong. These people do not really exist.

Embarrassing Road Rage

Driving to work, I needed to make a lane change. With my peripheral vision, I was aware of someone riding in my blind spot. I tried speeding up to get ahead of them, but they sped up too. I tried slowing down and they slowed down too. My exit was coming up and the jerk was trying to block my path. This has happened to me before. Enraged, I swung my head around to get a good look at that bastard and there was no one there. What I had seen with my peripheral vision was a dog barrier that my father recently installed for me.

It's a good thing that I don't carry a gun. I would have shot out my window for nothing.

Sarah, imagine how much more trouble we would get into if we were also armed.

I'm seeing much better now that I'm turning my head and actually looking at what's out there.

That reminds me of when I used to play paintball with a friend named Zane. He was having trouble with his gun, and asked the field manager why he wasn't hitting anything. The manager asked Zane, "Well, are you aiming?"

Turned out he wasn't. Zane was just pointing the gun at people and hoping it was aimed right. :)

Too bad they don't make heat-seeking missile paint ball guns. It would save everyone the trouble of having to aim. :)

Oh I would so love to have a paint ball rocketlauncher on the hood of my dogmobile! There could be a color coding system like orange for not using a signal to change lanes and red for running red lights, then the police could see the colors and write them tickets!

I would really like to have one that shoots a paint ball out the back for tailgaters.

Excellent idea, we can share the patent!
