The Punishment Light

Stardate: 24238.6
    I watched an episode of Weeds titled The Punishment Light. I totally have one of those. The Punishment Light is an evil red light that stays red and will not change. I sit there and I wait and wait and wait. I watched the across lights change to yellow and get ready to go, but to my frustration it stays red. The opposite direction gets the green and the green left arrow. By this time, I have called the light every bad word in the book. It's the middle of the night and there's no one around, so I start debating whether or not to run the damn light. Then, it dawns on me that I'm being punished for doing something bad. Oh, and then it turns green! In case you're wondering, it's Carlisle and Candelaria heading southbound . This takes me back to watching that episode of Weeds, because the same exact thing happened on that show for the same reason.
    I did do something bad. My question is, was I really being punished? Who is punishing me or is it that I am leading myself to believe I'm being punished to deal with the guilt? I guess such a question should be left for eternity. I guess we will never know. I swear, it is like that light knew exactly how to upset me.
