You may be wondering what happened to the last 5 days. Well, I declared this weekend to be a “No Politics Weekend” in frustration and disgust. Unfortunately, the assignment for the Book on Monday (July 4th, Independence Day) was “surreptitiously give people the finger”) and since this would require me going out in the holiday crowds and basically flipping off a bunch of patriotic Americans, I decided that would violate the “no politics” rule for the weekend, no matter how much fun it might have been.
For those of you keeping score at home, however, rest assured that I made full advantage of the flip-off license today during my commute home– a commute time that was doubled by asshattery traffic and some jerk-off who was not only using a cell phone while driving, but taking notes while he swerved everywhere and stopped in the middle of rush hour traffic.
I sometimes wish we had car-to-car communication (other than horns and bumpers, of course).
What if you could speak to the people within a 100 feet of you? Would it help if five people all yelled “hey asshole!” at that guy taking notes?
Sure would be fun, but probably would make things worse.
I want people to be forced to put their cell phone numbers on their bumpers…. then I could call him and tell him to hang up the phone!
