How did you feel?

Back when I worked in NYC, I had a remote office out in Redbank, NJ. So I kept my summer rental home on the beach and would commute out there when I knew I had to be in Redbank. It was a lovely home and the drive wasnt bad at all (compared to Manhattan).

One day, two weeks before Christmas, I am driving up the Garden State Parkway and come up on MAD traffic. Dead stopped. Inching along ocasionally. I was on my cell and said the words "You know, with this bullshit traffic, somebody better be dead up there."

A few moments later, I saw the SUV had overturned and the fire department lads had two bodies laid out on the ground with white sheets over them.

I have NEVER felt like such an absolutely twunt as I did at that moment. I have NEVER said or even THOUGHT anything like that since. Those poor people

I had a very similar experience driving to Canada
somewhere along a highway in upstate new york, traffic got backed up, and one of the guys in the car remarked "some one better fucking be dead!" and of course there had been a bloody cataclysmic accident that was backing traffic up. Didn't see the bodies but it was pretty easy to discern the impossibility of survivors.

He refused to take it back, the cheeky bastard...

Easily done
How many times do we wish someone was dead just because we're hacked off with them. Sometimes, coincidentally, they will be.
