Why are people stupid?

I strongly suspect this will be a recurring theme in my blog.

So anyway, I was driving though my neighborhood in my convertible. As I turned a corner, I glanced down at the speedometer and verified that I was driving 30mph, the posted speed limit. Just then, I heard a pedestrian shout something at me. Since I was not going very fast, and have excellent brakes, I stopped very quickly.

“I’m sorry, did you say something?”

“YOU NEED TO SLOW THE FUCK DOWN!”

At this point I notice that the person talking to me is a woman walking with a friend, a young girl (maybe 8-10yrs old) and pushing a stroller.

“Ma’am, I was driving 30 mph, the posted speed limit on this street.”

“YOU NEED TO SLOW THE FuCK DOWN!!”

“Do you have a radar gun? Can I see it? Because I have a speedometer, and it says I was going the speed limit.”

“THERE ARE KIDS IN THIS NEIGHBORHOOD! YOU NEED TO SLOW DOWN!”

“Are the kids playing in the street?”

“No, we don’t let them play in the street!”

“Then its ok for me to drive my car on the street at the posted speed limit?”

“I’M GOING TO REPORT YOU!!”

“TO WHO?!”

“TO THE POLICE!”

“FOR WHAT??!”

“BECAUSE YOU NEED TO SLOW DOWN!”

“Thank you, have a nice day!”

In retrospect, I should have asked her if, when she insisted I needed to slow down, she meant that she thought I was lying about driving the posted speed limit, or if she thought that I was driving the speed limit but I should drive even slower than that because she feels that I’m a danger to her kids.  But I’ll give you a hint:  if I was able to stop from the speed I was going and still be within range of your shouting, I would have been able to stop just as fast to avoid your kids in the street.



signs for people who don't love their kids enough to keep them from playing in traffic

There are a few of these signs in my neighborhood. If you really loved your kids, you’d make sure they didn’t play in the street, bitch.   Oh and its really fucking tacky to drop the F-bomb in front of your kids.
