Road rage

Message 18/25 Is it just me or is traffic getting worse these days? Here I was on my merry way towards Hutton Orbital, and I get T-boned by a gaggle of oversized bottle caps in the middle of my jump. Their jump must have crossed my jump somehow, and we all just sat there and looked at each other for a minute. Then I very politely honked...just to let them know that they were blocking my way.
Next thing I know, is that they honk me right back, the Galaxy starts spinning, and my ship goes dead. I was silently cursing Honest Joe for selling me a Krait of lemons while flipping switches and kicking panels in search of a spark of life.
Luckily I got most of the systems back online again, and I jumped out in a hurry. I emerged in the next system with an expression on my face, normally reserved for bugs on a windscreen.
