Today's Idiot!

What is it about the warmer weather that brings out the asswipes in droves? Today, while approaching an intersection, this goofball in a Chrysler PT Cruiser (which the DW absolutely loathes) decides that whipping out of the Shell gas station in front of DR and other vehciles, across our lanes and turning up into the opposite direction was a smart move. Seeing as most people look to go and get their Tune-ups (including brakes) in the Spring after all the heavy work in the winter, this is especially ASS-inine to attempt on roads with melting snow. Goof!

Let's consider the idiot cousin to the above that thinks, yet again, turning on a red, in front of oncoming traffic, when one does NOT have the right of way, would be a bright idea. What is so seriously wrong with these people?? I tell you, I am a proponent of the idea that there should be mandatory testing of people eery five years to ensure that their skills on the road matches the vehicle with which they intend to operate on said road.

Take, for instance, this wisp of a lady I saw the other day on the way to work. WHY, oh WHY are folks being sold (and the idiots are buying) cars, minivans and trucks that they really need a phone book and foot blocks to operate?? They cannot adjust the seat any further, they cannot move the sterring wheel anymore, the mirrors do not cover the proper angles, they cannot see to backup the vehicle without standing through the sunroof and they do not have a hope in hell of getting a proper line looking over a hood (bonnet) that they could fit two of themselves into. And this is not just women, it is stupid men as well. Honestly, screw freedom. I want to be protected from the goof that will switch lanes and not see me because the door sill is blocking his or her view. The vehicle should never have been ALLOWED to be sold to them in the first place. It is a safety hazard and people should almost be fitted to drive a vehicle like you do a bicycle. Cannot reach the pedal? Tough, this ride is not for you.

Peace.
