stark

I learnt today, as big as I have grown, and got all graduated, some more with a job that looks after other people's lives, and I know so many things that people can even begin to imagine, in the end, it's dad that has to bail me out.

You know on television, especially on those taiwanese dramas, some tragic character stations herself in front of your parked car so you can't drive out and turn away, forcing the erstwhile protagonist to come out of the car to talk some sense.

With some fine motor control, you can actually not let these tragic damsels get their way. Slightly hit the accelerator and before the car moves, hit the brakes. The momentum that was supposed to move the car would not be able to move the car forward, but it will have nowhere to go but thrusting the metal body of the car somewhat forward, nudging the person back, at which point you can quickly accelerate to move car forward to make up ground. Repeat until car has enough space to turn out. Sweetener: Before turning, make a feint that you're gonna go forward again and watch as said damsel recoil and unable to react as you swiftly turn away.

They don't teach that in driving school.

Way to go dad!
