Moron Day In ATL
I'm beginning to think that I violated some kind of cosmic or karmic rule. As I was out and about in town today, I was almost creamed by two separate drivers. One guy decided to make a left turn in front of me as I was cruising at 45 mph. I know he saw me coming, yet he pulled out anyway. Then, like a deer caught in headlights, he fuckin stopped, blocking my way!!! No way could I have stopped in time to avoid a collision. The first thought that came to mind as I witnessed this act of stupidity was "I wonder if my air-bags really work?". Second thought was "I ain't slammin on the brakes for this shithead and rolling my SUV". It would have been a T-boner so the brunt of the crash would been on him. Luckily, he snapped out of it and peeled out just in time for me to avoid hitting him. Little does he know he got called every frikkin foul name in the book. Good thing I wasn't PMSing or I would have given chase.
The second near-miss involved a very old lady driving her 20 year old Ford somethin or another. Miss Daisy obviously couldn't see very well and was stopping to turn every quarter of a mile or so. Just as I got fed up and decided to pass her, she decided to switch lanes. Yep, you guessed it, right in front of me. I almost ate her rear bumper. Luckily for me, she gassed the old chariot just in time.
After these two incidents, my senses were more keen to all of the moronic things people do while they're driving. I noticed several, and I mean several folks pulling kamikaze moves in traffic, all the while talking on a cellphone and juggling their lunch. Now forgive me if I seem naive, but if you have a phone in one hand, and a burger in the other, who's steering the frikkin car?
