Asleep at the Wheel
There was a horrible traffic jam on my way to work this morning at 5am due to an accident. It made my usual 20 minute commute an exciting hour and a half. After I had been stuck for about 45 minutes, I noticed that traffic was slowly weaving around this VW Jetta. As I approached it I looked over to see the driver and her passenger fast asleep. It was fucking hilarious. I really appreciate anything that can make me laugh when I am stuck in traffic at a god awful time in the morning.
When I was passing the accident scene I tried with all my might not to look. I was traumatized the last time I slowed to gawk at a police scene...this guy was being held to the ground by several police officers, his face all mangled and a huge puddle of blood on the concrete. But try as I might I couldn't stop from looking. What is it that attracts humans to shit like this? Thank god there was no blood this time, but both of the cars were completely ruined. It would be a miracle if either of the drivers lived from the look of things. It got me thinking about how quickly and unexpectedly something like that could happen. For a second I considered taking the bus to work again. Then I remembered the story I saw on the news the other day about someone getting shot on the bus. It was the same route I usually take to work.
