No LLBing tale today, but this one's better (or: I'm glad stupid people die in automobile accidents)
On the way in, I came to a signaled intersection that I have to turn
left at. This turn doesn't have a dedicated signal, so drivers turning left must wait for the large amount of traffic coming from the other direction to clear. This AM, while waiting behind a truck at this turn, I did the "safe driver" thing and scanned my rear views, per normal. I noticed in the distance, approaching, an ambulance with it's lights lit. In fact, I saw the vehicle long before I heard it. I wasn't listening to the radio or chatting on the phone, so I heard it a few seconds after I saw it. Knowing how emergency vehicles operate, and since the traffic to my right kept me from moving out of the ambulance's way, I held my position. The moron in front of me, however, did not. As the ambulance passed my vehicle, the genius in front decided he was going to move out of the ambulance's way, but he was going to do so by turning left. Well, of course, this put him directly in the front of the ambulance, forcing the ambulance to come to a complete stop in the intersection. *Then* the genius in the truck decides it's time to stop his vehicle so the ambulance can navigate around it. Unfortunately due to the velocity of the ambulance and the location of where the truck stopped in the middle of the intersection, the ambulance had to back up, turn sharply to the right, and then proceed through the intersection. Only after the ambulance was on it's way on the other side of the street did the retard in the truck decide to exit the intersection he shouldn't have entered when he did. I have no sympathy for stupid drivers, and I *HOPE* the retard dies a slow and horribly painful death in his vehicle due to his ineptitude. |
