Ta den enkle veien

er å kjøre opp på feil side av bensinpumpen for tredje gang denne uken. • Det er en kontrollampe som blinker uten grunn, og det koster en tusenlapp å høre mekanikeren si at det ikke er noen grunn. • Det er vondt i ryggen. Nakkesmerter. Den uutholdelige nummenheten i rumpeballene. • Det er som å kjøpe en bil som går fra 0 til 100 på 6,4 sekunder, men som kryper i 5 kilometer i timen de neste 30 minuttene. • Det er en bulk. En ripe. Støtfanger mot støtfanger mot støtfanger mot støtfanger mot støtfanger. • Det er som å tørke duelort av frontruten. • Det er når du går tom for vindusvæske, så nå smører du duelort på frontruten. • Det er å finne ut på den harde måten at duer beveger seg i flokk. • Det er raseri i trafikken. Uanstendigheter. Skjellsord du ikke visste fantes før du fant dem opp. • Det er å skrike til den dumrianen som kjørte forbi deg, bare for å innse at han er en søt, gammel bestefar som kjører barnebarnet sitt til fotballtrening. • Det er å se bestemor vinke til deg fra baksetet og få dårlig samvittighet for at du kalte mannen hennes for en dumrian. • Det er å sirkle rundt for å finne en parkeringsplass — når du egentlig trenger å gå på toalettet. • Det er å parallellparkere i et trangt hjørne med tre biler bak deg og en gruppe tilskuere som er klare til å få deg til å gå viralt på TikTok — når du egentlig, egentlig trenger å gå på do. • Det er å miste husnøklene i den gudsforlatte sprekken mellom førersetet og håndbrekket og slå skulderen ut av ledd når du prøver å dra dem ut med en gal manns besluttsomhet — fordi du absolutt, helt klart, må på toaletteeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeettttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt
