I'm mad. Earlier today I witnessed a car turn a corner and a front wheel popped right off, rolled across the street, and bounced gently off my car. I got out of my car and discovered the driver had dementia, so I took him across the street to a shop where he could wait out of the cold while folks tried to get in touch with his family. After 20 minutes of playing phone tag with emergency services, nonemergency services, and cops, they only agreed to come out because his car was blocking traffic. At that point he had wandered out of the shop "to walk home." He was wearing pajamas. What a broken fucking system.
