How Peer Pressure, And Competition Landed Us Here! by OpinionOracle(op): 10:21am On Jun 23, 2024
A True Life Story: How Peer Pressure, And Competition Landed Us Here!

It was January, the first chill wind of the year, and in one of its chill nights of last year, our neighbor's gleaming new car rolled into his driveway, triggering a chain reaction of events that would shake our peaceful existence in our quiet street.
My wife, ever the catalyst, jolts me awake in the middle of the night. In her words, "Isn't he a man, just like you?" She hisses, eyes narrowed at the driveway next door.
