I told a woman in her early 40s that her poor grasp of the highway code was understandable as internal combustion engines probably hadn't been invented by her formative years.
it wasn't clever but i had pegged her right as the kind of person who yearned for her lost youth, pretty but heavily made up, expensive jewellery, and at least a couple of botox visits.
as the comment hit I saw sadness in her eyes.
At the time I felt satisfied given that she's cut me up, but now I feel pretty guilty for bringing a little more sadness into the world. Sorry anonymous lady.
