LOS ANGELES — It all began at a stoplight in Hollywood a few years ago.
Lee Sung Jin took a few seconds to start moving when the light turned green. The driver behind him responded with disproportionate rage, honking and cursing maniacally, so Lee decided to follow him across town and onto the 10 — which happened to be the direction he was going anyway.
"I justified it by saying, I'm just going to commute home," Lee recalled. "He must have thought, 'Oh, this lunatic is following me for the whole run of the highway.' That's what made me chuckle in my mind: You never know what someone else is going through or what the true nature of the internal state is."
