    I’ve been there before. Stormed out of a car the person I was seeing was driving. Then I had an ~8 mile walk back to my car which was conveniently parked just outside her apartment. I had some very sharp words for her in my head as I walked. I devastated her in my mind. To shreds!

    Then we got back together one or two more times after that before I finally called it quits for good. I don’t think we could really stand one another, but damn the sex was good.

    Point is, I feel for the guy, but not on a plane.

      Wait… are you saying you “stormed out” of a moving car? How?

      Because I’ve done that once from a very slowly moving vehicle, my foot got stuck and I got second-third degree burns on my shin. as the car dragged me forward on the sand.

      I had some very sharp words for her in my head as I walked. I devastated her in my mind. To shreds!

      Several times, I’d wager. And with each being more succinct than the last.

        We were stopped at a light.

        It was poetry!

          Oh thank god. Otherwise it might have been a tad over-dramatic
