Roundtrip scare

On the way to class, I almost get side-swiped by the car next to me. What was the moron doing instead of paying attention to the road? Cell phone usage? Eating? Looking at maps? Fidgeting with the radio? Picking his nose? Nope, not any of these. He was flossing...with both hands off the wheel while looking into his rear view mirror! I don't understand why he couldn't wait to do that until he got home. If you're going to be flossing, you might as well start plucking your ass hairs as well. It's real nice knowing that my life was at stake due to someone's dental hygiene anal retentiveness.

A few minutes into the drive home, the area above my armpit starts to itch like crazy. Then my left kneecap is the same way. Lo and behold, I now had 2 huge insect bites there. I guess during the walk to the parking lot, I managed to get bitten. Now the freaky part, after the itching, my vision became slightly blurred only in the right eye. It started watering like crazy, swelling a bit, and itching so badly. So for a good 10 minutes, I could barely see out of my right eye. I of course started to panic, thinking that maybe it was a symptom of a seizure (or anything really serious). My guess now is that I probably just had an allergic reaction to the bites. But when you suddenly lose your vision like that, you can't help freaking out over what's wrong with yourself.
