Because of the assholes in the state highway department and their pothole neglect, my daughter lost her husband of 2 weeks. The lawsuit is pending. This is a true story.
The extreme fear of running over a pothole. Habits of those with this affliction include driving under the speed limit, swerving frequently to avoid any cracks or bumps in the road, and taking alternative routes despite an increased commute. This usually sets in shortly after blowing a tire when running over a pothole.
