OT: Interesting Threat of Being Arrested By Entitled Rich Women Driving
I was about to cross a cross walked this morning when I looked down the road and saw a car sppeding toward the stop sign. I back stepped and then it looked like the car was going to stop then I started again. Then the car didn’t look like it was going to stop so I jumped back (its like your stuttering on the decision to cross) and waited for the car to come to a stop moments after I stepped back…completely blocking the cross walk.
After she stopped I hit the windshield of the car and gave her a WTF/“excuse me hello” expressions with my arms and proceed around the car. On the other side of the car the lady rolled her window down while on her cell, and said “excuse me, you know you are not allowed to hit my car. I can have you arrested!”
Usually I would keep walking and just flip her off (I am a very reactive person and like to piss people off) but this comment was SO STUPID I responded to her. “Excuse me, do you see you are stopped in the middle of a cross walk and driving while on the phone. Both of which are unlawful in Philly, so wither call the cops or shut the FUCK UP!” (I was a little bit meaner)
But I am still trying to figure how she thought I could be arrested for touching her car!
I probably shouldn’t have hit her car.

Sometimes though… the world’s epic stupidity just makes you lose your mind. I nearly strangled my assistant [again] this morning after a brief but utterly annoying disagreement over “A Christmas Carol.”
(One of my 5 year olds was complaining about how scary the new movie was. I told him it was supposed to be scary, the original story was written to scare grown-ups into making good choices. My assistant, uberly religious, took offense to this; and started going on and on about how wonderful Christmas carols are or should be and how movies shouldn’t pervert them into something scary.
“No, no, no,” I said “The Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present and Future, they are supposed to be scary.”
Blank look

I can identify with wanting to strangle someone over their stupidity
Earlier today I walked past two people who seemed to be discussing posey and the giants. One of them said something like “I don’t know, he could just turn out to be a disappointment like matt wieters.”
I had to stop myself from turning around and setting him straight. Criticizing wieters could look pretty stupid in a couple years (and it already does). And man, I can’t wait to see what these people are like when posey doesn’t hit .300 with 30 homers his first year. “Bring back Bengie! RBIs!”

My grandma doesn’t understand the difference between a cartoon and the Sunday comics. And I watch a lot of legit animated films with her around. I even spent a good half-hour talking to her about how cartoons, comics, and the funny strips are all different and how they have grown (particularly the growth of comics since the ‘80s) and even while I was explaining all of these differences, it just didn’t click that there were differences between any of it and the Sunday comics.
