Default Stupid people tricks/actions

We were in Westport, MA today trying to see if we could change up the route for our country drive a bit.

We were on a country road, double yellow lines, speed limit probably 35-40, Rick was going about 38 and slowed down when he noticed two people walking into the traffic on the opposite side of us. As we passed them, they yelled for him to slow down. AT LEAST 50-75 feet in front of them was a kid, probably no older than 5-6 riding a big wheel in the road, heading into traffic, another 50+ feet in front of that kid was a kid on a bicycle probably 7-8 years old also riding into traffic!

WTF! If I was walking a dog on that road, I'd keep it on a short leash. Why the heck would these people think what they were doing was a good thing???

That wasn't on Main Rd. in Westport heading toward Horseneck, was it? A few years back, Steph and I were on that road going probably 5mph UNDER the speed limit. Two beotches walking on the side of the road took a look at my car and hollered for me to slow down. Steph and I were like WTF???

I guess our cars just LOOK fast

No, some other side road. Can't remember the name. I was totally lost by then. We were trying to change the route to avoid a couple of stop signs and/or left turns, easier to keep the group together.

So far no change to the route.

and then there are those who view thier street as private and get annoyed when you drive on it. I like to rev the engine real high, just for them
nothing like 25 miles hour in first just for them.

Well I was in Cape May NJ for the weekend. I wandered off to Wildwood and boy did I make a mistake. There were a lot of Darwin candidates out there.

Note to self, don't ever go to Wildwood ever again.

Wildwood!

Went there as a kid for summer vaca in the late 70's early 80's.

Your assessment is not suprising.
