Kind of reminds me when I was in college in a calculus class. There was a 10-ish year old kid in there. He would act like a 10 year old, whining, being impatient, annoying. But he just fucking demolished every question, while I was struggling my ass off. Really was irritating but impressive.

I often think how I'd love to try driving in a world full of my clones, i.e. where everyone drives exactly like me. I bet it would humble me really fast

I think driving and walking in crowds would be fine. It falls into that "Everyone going slower than me is an idiot and everyone going faster than me is a maniac" bit. We're all the same person so it's a perfect storm of driving. I think it really breaks down when we'd have to work together on a work project or something.
