Dance After Dark Photography

For those who aren’t familiar with the Rocket Science Chronicles, they started when I worked as an overnight dispatcher at AAA. I saw every call that came through and caught all of the dumb things done by co-workers and customers alike. Click on the “rocket science” category if you want to read the previous Chronicles. (Bear in mind that they were transferred from my LiveJournal, so this is a “best of” collection.}

On the way home from work tonight, I encountered a very slow driver in a red Lincoln. He was going about 25 in a 45mph zone, and he kept hitting the brakes at every crossroad. Of course he was in the left lane with no one at all in front of him. Because of traffic, it took me a while to safely get into the right lane and pass the guy. (It felt like an eternity.)

I had a bad feeling passing him, so I sped up to get ahead of him quickly. Sure enough, he nearly clipped my back corner when he got into the right lane behind me. Less than two minutes later, I saw him in my rearview mirror as he slowed down and turned left from the right lane, cutting off another car that was about to pass him and nearly hitting another guy headed in the opposite direction.

If you’re going to nominate yourself for a Darwin Award, at least try not to take other people with you.
