My experience of second-guessing occurs often.

Just yesterday a major event occurred. I was pulling into my apartment parking lot, off the road. I stopped in the driveway, as I saw a snowplow truck. He was starting to back up. I presumed that he was just going at the lot from a different angle. I stayed in the driveway and waited.

The snowplow kept backing up further and further. Just a couple of feet away from me, I finally put my car into reverse to back out in the road. Too late ~ he smashed into my car. The truck hit the side mirror and smashed the driver's side window.

I was blown away! Confused. Little pieces of glass all over me. The driver comes over and tells me that I had to stay away from him, because he's got such a large blind spot. From his perspective, the accident was my fault. But, I could swear that I didn't do anything wrong! At the same time, I kick myself for not backing out earlier, honking my horn, yelling....something! But I was stuck in this decision-making thing.

Freaking nightmare!
