Simple words that save lives: lessons from “expert talkers”

As a pointless counter-story, I almost ran over a dude laying in the middle of a highway. Another driver and me pulled off, drugged him to the sidewalk (he was heavy and strong, but not violent per-ce), and we sat on him until police came as he was obviously trying to run back into the cars.

[this story has no lesson, sorry]

As another semi-pointless counter-story, I was in SF once at a red light and I noticed a guy jumping out at cars on the road, but not actually moving towards them, just lifting his arms up and flailing.

So, my teenage self decided to teach this guy a lesson. When I started driving towards him, before he could jump at me I turned my car at him and drove right in his direction. It scared him half to death and he jumped backwards.

Lesson is sometimes sitting on a dude works when talking doesn't?
