Bad First Impressions

Hello and story time,

Last year, I was driving to my first day of an internship. I was on my phone while stopped at a red light and I didn’t notice that it had turned green. The car behind me wanted to let me know that it turned green, so he honked at me, but not like a small honk - bro held it down hard, well after I passed the light. So, I showed him the naughty finger and pointed at it like this 🖕🏼👈🏼. He returned the gesture, cut me off, and sped off.

So after informally meeting my VP, we “formally” met when our MD introduced me to him. We never addressed our road rage love story and that summer sure was awkward.
