The camera is pretty mighty, too
Sometimes there’s a fun and easy way to deal with idiot drivers. Case in point:
I was driving from my home the other day, and had just crossed an intersection into a narrow street. Coming the other way was a woman in an Audi. My side of the street was full of parallel-parked cars, but there was a gap on hers. I moved forward so I was across from that gap and she could zip around me.
But no. She wasn’t smart enough to do that. Instead, with a grimace on her face, she came right at me and stopped right in front of me, blocking both of us from going anywhere. Then she motioned for me to get out of her way.
The only way to do this was to back up into the intersection. So no way. I shook my head, and she indicated that she wasn’t going to move. Genius, I tell you. I indicated the same. So we sat there, me refusing to back up into an intersection, she refusing to use the space to her right to go around me. Incredible.
So I broke the stalemate. I reached over, grabbed my camera, and started shooting. I made sure she saw me shoot her license plate — CATMOB — as well as her face. When you’re a moron and someone can prove it, it tends to spur you into action.
Making faces that looked like she was either constipated or the reverse, she proceeded to make a big deal about ’squeezing’ by. Of course, had she not been an idiot and come over to my side of the road in the first place, there would have been plenty of room.
Here’s what it looked like. There’s empty space in front of the white Nissan on her side. (Click for larger.)
And here’s CATMOB’s lovely face. Hope she finds a bathroom soon.
