This one is obviously not as widely-understood as it would seem. Yesterday I was in heavy traffic, slowed down for about 15-20 minutes while police and tow trucks cleared a nasty accident out of an intersection. About twenty feet past the accident, one of the drivers who had been in the slowdown swerved across two lanes, accellerated, nearly rear-ended the car in front of her, swerved into another lane (needless to say, turn signals are things that happen to other people), and zoomed off. I was left beating my forehead with my hand, screaming "Cause and effect! Cause and effect, you STUPID BITCH!" Obviously, since the accident made her late, the smart thing to do was drive like a maniac to make up the lost time.
Sometimes, I honestly despair for the human species.
