Everyone makes mistakes, and some of them are bound to happen while we're driving. You accidentally swerve into the lane next to yours and frighten the pants off the driver of the car that you almost swipe. You accidentally cut someone off because you honestly didn't see them, even though you looked over your shoulder before changing lanes. These are accidents. We should forgive them.
And then there are the Bozos. They make stupid mistakes on purpose.
There are two lanes at the intersection of Milton and Greenville. The right hand lane is for people who want to go straight or turn right. The left hand lane is for people who want to turn left only. Anyhow, Milton is a short street, so as I turn on to it, I see a car with a "Pic-A-Pal" bumper sticker sitting at the light in the right lane, and I see Bozo pull out of the bank parking lot on the right. He starts to pull into the right lane, then changes his mind and pulls into the left lane. You see, Picapal was obviously going straight, and this would not do. Bozo turns right from the left lane! Bozo is too good, too important to wait the 30 seconds for the light to change! That kind of driving is not only selfish and arrogant ("I shouldn't have to wait at the light! I'm too special for that! The world is my oyster!"), it's dangerous. If Picapal had decided to turn at that moment, she and Bozo could have met with accident because, of course, she would not have been expecting him to turn, as well.
Bozo deserves to be chastised. If you see Bozo, shake your fist at him. Tell him he's a lousy driver. Tell him the world would prefer him not to be so arrogant.
For your reference, Bozo drives a little silver convertible sports car, and his license plate is: Texas License Plate number X91 JXR. He may do his banking at Bank of America (that's the bank parking lot he pulled out of).

RR you call that Bozo out. I'll be on the lookout for him and kindly cut him off sometime. Or better yet not pay attention at lights and make him wait through the green light and then I'll zoom through on the yellow and he will again be stuck for another round of waiting. Hee Heee Heee Heee
Oh, that would be perfect! If I see him, I'll do the same. Good suggestion! :)
The incident report will be later. I like to get in a full day's worth. :)
rr, i'm SO on the lookout for Bozo. i bank at the same bank, and often turn from the same section. perhaps i'll stand at the corner one day, holding a large banner with Bozo's license plate number, and exclaiming to the world what a selfish, arrogant Bozo he is.
perhaps.
Jes: do it. But, um, be prepared for retaliation. People like that don't take criticism very well (actually, most people don't take criticism very well, but people like Bozo take it especially badly). :)
