National Asshole/Idiot Day

[Rantsylvania 6-5000]

I would have marked this day on my calendar, but this is by no means an annual event. This is always happening somewhere!

All I wanted was to go out and get my lunch and my iced tea, and it was utter chaos! People running amok in the streets! Pedestrians walking side by side, down the middle of the lane; bicyclists riding side by side, down the middle of the lane; drivers erratically darting in and out of lanes; turning in front of me when I'm going straight and have the right-of-way, cutting it close enough to make me nervous.

One bozo was weaving back and forth quite a bit in front of me, and going painfully slow (drunk already?). I had been behind this same driver turning left onto that street, at an intersection with one of those damn red light cameras. The arrow was green as I entered, but he took so long to get it through the intersection, it might have been red by the time my rear bumper made it through. My car was only the second one in line! I'd better not get a ticket!

I don't know what was going on today, but AAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!!! I think I'm okay now.

This is why I avoid the downtown area in my city like the plague. This type of day is what I see every time I must venture towards the Central Business District.

Somedays I have what I call "Invisible Day." Nobody sees me. I just do my errands as quickly as possible and go home. I hate those days, be it pedestrians or cars.

Then there are "The Musical Lane Days." Nobody likes the lane they are in, and the one they always want is mine.

I call it the "Lane Swap Meet". Everyone's swapping lanes and I'm forced to participate in it whether I like it or not.
