Maybe you think it's unfair that you've been waiting here for what feels like an hour at a two-way stop where a side road intersects a main artery But just because you think you "deserve" to take the right of way doesn't mean they'll fucking give it to you

It's still their right of way and if you nose out unsafely it's still illegal and you still get a ticket if there's a cop And you still fucking get physically hit if you don't make it You don't go until it's ACTUALLY SAFE

This insane "I've waited LONG ENOUGH" thing, what the "stupid" character always does in the movie to create the second act tension "We've been hiding from the zombies LONG ENOUGH" It doesn't matter how long you've been waiting it matters if there's still zombies out there

Imagine if Mr. van Daan had told Anne Frank and her parents "We've been in this damn attic LONG ENOUGH, I'm going outside for a walk because I DESERVE it The world doesn't REVOLVE around murderous Nazis you know"

And as you fucking die you'll be yelling at the coronavirus, or the Nazis, or the zombies, or the other car that rear-ended you because you popped out of nowhere from their perspective, "This isn't FAIR, do you know how LONG I spent NOT doing that thing that just got me killed"
