There is something that I frequently experience but rarely talk about. It is something that affects me on a daily basis. It is something that, when experienced causes me great frustration. I know I cannot be alone, but I rarely ever hear anyone else speak of it. What I am talking about, of course, is which direction to turn when you suddenly realize that you’re about to have a head-on collision.
I, rather instinctively, head to the right. Since the US is a ‘right side of the road’ country when we drive, it makes sense. On stairs, I also always start off on the right side. When riding my bike on campus, I always veer to the right. But sometimes, about once a day, someone always turns to the left, which is my right and into the inevitable awkward slow-turning of the bikes or side-stepping with funny faces and the occasional heavy sigh.
Life would be much easier if people just did what I wanted them to, rather than exercising free will.
