Scrooge Wore A Santa Hat, Too

It’s December 1st so that means the Santa hat went onto the bike helmet last night, to be worn for the month of December.  (Gotta wait until at least the end of November – don’t want to rush things so soon after turkey day.)

Anyway, so the Santa hat is flying bright and I’m enjoying a leisurely ride in this morning.  Every now and then I remind myself not to forget that I’m wearing the cheerful/Christmas/happy-happy hat.  That means be nice to the other drivers; allow them their stupidity.

I tried.

I really did!

And I almost made it…

I was about a mile away from work, heading north, and sitting a few spots back at a red light.  The light goes green and we start moving forward…for about three houses.  Why did we stop?  Because a dipshit in the third driveway wanted to go south and instead of being polite and waiting for a break in traffic, they decided to put themselves ahead of everyone else and pulled out into our lane.  But there were no spaces in the south lane to pull in to; that lane is moving along pretty well.  This left our fuckwad friend with nowhere to go.  But they didn’t care that they were sitting there, blocking us from moving.  They just sat there and waited for someone in the south lane to slow down and let them in.  Thankfully someone eventually did and the goddamn dink moved out of our way and proceeded to pass us, acting as if nothing had happened.

As the stupid twat was coming up beside me, I saw them notice my bright red Santa hat, and they smiled at me, probably thinking some nice festive thoughts and how I must be a nice festive person.

So you can imagine their shock when I looked right at them and bellowed “YOU’RE - A - DICK!!” right at their face.

Oh well, the commute home is in an hour and that’ll give me another try at being nice.

Wish me luck.

Ride Hard, Take Chances
