My great-grandmother just died this year at 100 years old. She was still driving after 90, and she was perfectly competent at it in the farm town where I grew up. Her daughter, on the other hand, is a horrible driver. I mean, shaky on the wheel, stabby on the pedals, and just looking everywhere but forward. I’d be amazed she hasn’t been involved in some horrible wreck except for the fact that she rarely leaves the house. Being 80 will do that to you, I suppose.

Yes, but look at it this way: you’re safer in the car with them then outside the car while they drive.

I live on the second floor… If that’s how I die, clearly it’s what the universe wanted.

I was scared this was real.

My grandfather had a near miss in his 70s, and gave up his license. He thought it was no longer worth the risk.

Only if they sit in the back and I drive.

And say, “What a nice, young person you are.” the whole way.

Of course! What could be more dystopian than letting an old fart work for me for an absolute shitty salary? Awesome.
