I get so MAD!

Brother Gabe and I were driving down Pacific Coast Highway years ago when we both lived south of L.A., and were stopped at a traffic signal. A woman in the car next to us made the universal “roll down your window” circular hand gesture with one hand while covering her eye with the other hand. We rolled down the window, and she asked if we knew how to get to a certain doctor’s office.

We had no idea what she was looking for based on just the doctor’s name, and she said something like “Darn, I just accidentally pierced my eyeball with my inkpen, and my doctor said I should have it checked out, but I don’t know how to get to his office.”

We told her that she should probably go straight to the hospital emergency room (which was about three blocks away behind us), but she said “No, I’ll just keep driving until I find it.”
