I'm generally a slow-lane type of person. Not because I drive slow, no, I don't, not really, but because it is often the least congested and also the least demanding of cognitive resources (least need to change lanes or respond to others changing lanes)*. Anyway today I was on my way to making one of those uncustomary left turns when I stopped at a red light and experienced what fast-lane drivers must endure all the time: awkward eye contact with the guy at the bus stop. He was so close to me! Leaning over the median rail! Looking into my car! At me! It was awkward.

* Life would be different if I made more left turns
