Rico says an older bronze Mercedes SUV with, unfortunately, blacked-out windows (including an apparently illegally blacked-out windshield) tried to run him over (probably through looking the wrong way while turning out of the Genuardi's parking lot) a couple of weeks ago, before he went to Massachusetts. As Rico had, unusually for him, gone out without a walking stick, he had nothing to retaliate with (and no gub, either, darn), and didn't want to chance an elbow on a side window. Rico was reduced to flipping off the driver and futilely screaming "fuck you!" at the (surprisingly) stopped vehicle.
Warning to the driver of the Mercedes: Rico says he will not make that mistake again...
More likely, the driver was texting or talking on the cell phone. I have had several close calls in cross walks with drivers making a "right turn on red" while talking on the cell as I try to cross as a pedestrian.
ReplyDeleteI fantasize about having a paint gun so I could mark them.
Nah, the son of a bitch was turning away from on-coming traffic, and cut into the inside lane, which happened to be empty. That was what was really irritating, that I was out of the way of normal, non-distracted traffic, and the fuck almost got me anyway... (I had to lift my arm so his, or her, as we don't know because of the blacked-out windows, drivers' mirror didn't take my arm off...) I think the use of paint ball gubs to mark idiots and assholes should be mandatory...
