Road rage knows no age

Fri. September 12, 2008

Seeing him speed down the sidewalk, I stopped my car to give a 10-year-old on a bike the right of way. He stopped, kindly waved for me to go. Then after I went, I look in my rearview mirror to see the kid flipping me off. I haven’t seen that kind of display since seeing a driver give the bird to a waving baby. But what was up with this? Did the boy have a rough day delivering papers? Was I unknowingly cast in the angrier, less entertaining remake of Better off Dead?

I’m just glad to see poor traffic etiquette knows no age, creed, color, or stature. This is America, goddammit. With the kind of excessive, angry, near death traffic obstacles encountered in Southern Cali everyday, seems like great fodder for a fun new driving game for kids everywhere. A new generation of road ragers! I’m looking at you EA.

“See the problem here is, my little brother, this morning, got his arm caught in the microwave and my grandmother dropped acid and she freaked-out and hijacked a schoolbus full of penguins so its kind of a family crisis so come back later? Great.”
