I got some coffee delivered via grubhub and I was chatting with my driver since I've gotten to know him (he deliverers a lot) and he was attacked in a road rage incident. (hexbear.net)

All he did was honk his horn at a car that wasn't moving getting onto the highway. I guess the guy followed him and it got physical. He's okay and the guy was arrested but do not honk your horn or engage with other people on the road for real.

Sounds like Houston.

I had to get my car towed a couple months ago, and I got to talking with the tow driver while when was taking me to the tire place. I don't have the highest opinion of tow drivers, but listening to some of the stuff that he hahad to deal with, like being the first one scene to see just straight up dead people or having to basically hold people's hands while they pass was pretty eye opening, on top of the normal stuff I would expect like having people pull guns on him. There's really a lot of people in "fringe" unappreciated jobs that have to put up with a lot of shit that you just don't think about if you aren't exposed to it.
