It's raining assholes out there today.

Seriously.

Most of the time, you don't run into a lot of truly asshole people out there. The vast majority of folks don't even, say, tailgate. You run into assholes occaisionally, sure, but it's not like running any kind of Asshole Gauntlet.

Except today.

Better than half the people who ended up behind me were tailgaters. I don't even mean they were following too close, no, I mean they were up my ass so hard I feel vaugely dirty now. Not only that, but I watched a car and a motorcycle antagonize each other all the way up a street, and then watched another Darwin Award nominee on a motorcyle tear through a red light WELL after it had changed at a very busy intersection.

A friend said there was an alignment of the full moon, Jupiter, and Uranus. Which, frankly it does not suprise me that the planet Uranus is involved. It kind of figures.

Nekojin runs an AG nearly every day he works.

We work at the same place, and he is in charge of picking up the company mail from the local post office (which is a thread full of fail all on its own). To get from our place to the PO, he has to pass not only the local Social Services building and the local DMV, but there is a freeway on/off ramp, and bizarre surface street crossover interchange (built up industrial area with a lot of train tracks, many still in high use), an intersection that is insane (except when the light doesn't work, and then everybody somehow remembers the rules of the road - it's truly bizarre) and a second freeway, all one after the other starting from right next to the SS building.

So, in the 2.5 miles one way, he gets three government buildings and all the insanity that people display around them, two different freeways and the insanity people show around those, and two different difficult intersections. Then he gets to do it all over again, in reverse.

I just had some jerk in a ricer civic tailgate me for 5 miles today. They had their aftermarket xenon headlights on high beams in the day to try to piss me off. All it did was make me set cruse at the exact legal speed limit.

A week or so ago, the cops got a guy on a motorcyle who was going 147. The scary part is, he's from my area.

I hate road-sodomy.

It's a real good thing I wasn't drinking anything when I read your post or it'd have been a Rule #1 violation, and I'm usually proof against those.

I almost killed an ex-roommate of mine... she was creeping up on a semi, and I asked her (completely deadpan) to please not sodomize the semi.

Considering she was driving, that would have had to have been classed a murder suicide.

True... though at that time I wouldn't have minded.

It's raining dicks!

Holy shit!

Terrible, I know.

It's raining dicks!

That gives new meaning to the phrase "coming in out of the rain."
