My father would say things that make no sense, like, "If I were the last person on earth, some moron would turn left in front of me."

The line is a comic portrait of a father’s habitual pessimism and grievance—an exaggerated belief that bad drivers (and, by extension, foolish people) will always appear at the worst possible moment. The humor comes from the impossible premise (“the last person on earth”) paired with a mundane annoyance (“someone would turn left in front of me”), highlighting how some personalities interpret life as a perpetual affront. In Anderson’s style, the joke also suggests a family inheritance of anxiety and irritation, using hyperbole to make a familiar everyday frustration feel mythic and inevitable.
