People are stupid. That’s a freaking given. But some are more stupid than others. And all those stupider than others seem to navigate towards me. Here’s what happened today:
I’m driving home today after doing what I do, and I’m heading up a street where there is a grade school. So of course parents are picking up their children, leaving their cars and SUVs and school buses double-parked. This isn’t the problem, however. The problem is how these people cross street.
The first person I come across is a woman pushing a baby in a carriage. That wasn’t what pissed me off. What pissed me off was her other three kids running out into the street in front of me.
Now, I have always driven slowly when children are in the area. But she gives me a look after she calls her kids back to her, and then they cross the street almost together. What i just remember now is that neither she nor her children looked for oncoming traffic from the other direction. (It’s a two-lane, two-way street.) AND her kids ran away from her as they crossed.
Person number two was a gentleman that just crossed the street while watching me pull up towards him. A car should have come from the other direction and run over his stupid ass.
Person number three was similar to person number two except that he was holding his daughter’s hand as they crossed.
The annoying part of this whole thing is that when these kids grow up, they are going to act just like their parents and then teach these bad habits to their kids and so on. And of course, if these kids ever get hit by a car, it will be the driver’s fault and not the fault of their fault. And their parent’s will sue the drivers for large sums of money.
