The little things that count...

Just a simple observation, I'm sure we'll all experienced. Why is it that when driving on a quiet, narrow road, the only other car, heading in the opposite direction, will be immediately next to you when you're about to reach the only person riding a bicycle on that road. If you don't slow down, you just know you'll all end up in a row (or, in the case of a narrow road, somebody won't has space to be there). Is there a "law" for that too? (It's not Murphy's law. It's not sod's law either).

Hypochondriacs. We've all known one... Hell, I've dated one.  I also discovered where he learnt it from when we had to take his mother to the doctor... The same person used to google his "symptoms" daily.  As you can imagine, he was convinced he was dying.  He "had" everything from gall stones, to heart attack, to cancer. I became immune to his woes.  He accused me of being very unsympathetic because he needed me to rush him to hospital one day while he was "having a heart attack", and I needed to fetch my kids.  I rolled my eyes at him and told him he probably has indigestion or acid reflux.  I eventually made a deal - I'll take him to the closest clinic and leave him there while I fetch the kids.  He was not impressed (apparently he was supposed to come first in my life).  As I predicted... He had acid reflux.
