Thanks
Sometimes I think they do this on purpose. They're driving a nice truck and it's obviously diesel because of the way the engine sounds and they come up right next to me while they're stopped at the red light and then MASH the pedal down when it's time for them to go and a HUGE disgusting black cloud of nasty comes out of their tailpipe and lingers right where I'm supposed to stand. I say "supposed to" because I high-tail it out of there and go inside until I think it's gone. It never touches me and I never smell it but it happens all the time and there's really no reason for it. So I'm thinking they're doing it on purpose now.
Chalk up another
Got flipped off again. By someone WELL over the age of 35 and driving a truck for a trucking company I did not catch the name of. Very professional.
Multiple Levels of Suck
The armored truck that brings the credit union across the street the money for the ATM inside always puts on his four-ways and puts himself in a spot that is not actually a parking spot but is out of the way of traffic. Today this spot was taken up by some person who obviously thought that this non-spot was somewhere he could park without paying for the meter. (The guys who take the quarters out of the meters came by and gave him a big fat fine for that which is actually lucky because they only come around once a week and there are no meter peoples.) I digress. The armored truck had to deliver the money so he put on his four-ways on the other side of the building but in a driving lane in a place where it would be easy to get around him.
People were lining up behind him and honking at the empty truck when there was a green light because they apparently don't know what four-ways mean or something and it was so embarrassing to watch them make idiots out of themselves. To me it would have been completely obvious that there was nobody in the truck but apparently...I dunno...
Two sucks: Guy who parked in a non-parking. People laying on their horn to an empty truck. THERE WAS SO MUCH ROOM TO GET AROUND HIM. I don't understand.
Almost Catastrophe
A truck that was pretty big (not a semi) blasted past the people going through the intersection by driving through the empty parking spots on that side of the road. He almost obliterated these girls who were going through the intersection when he cut them off.
Dear Butthead...
...who thought you wouldn't be subject to moving over for the ambulance to pass you because you turned on red where it was illegal.
They can turn on red too.
Stop it...
I keep getting people who look at me like I'm crazy (and some who have even said something about it) when I'm out in a hat, gloves, and a scarf and they're running around in shorts, sandals, and tank tops. It's 53 degrees. You just don't notice because you don't have to stand for three hours in the same spot. I'm FREEZING and I'm wearing tights under my pants. Something wrong with me? No. Something wrong with YOU.

Some even decided that, because they waited through an entire green behind me that it was OK to zip around me and run the red light.
