I Believe in Peace
People are weird.
Yesterday on my way to work, I was cut off by another car coming into my lane. They didn’t signal (I swear, half of LA doesn’t seem to know they have turn signals), and I’m guessing they thought I could see that their lane was blocked. I couldn’t – my car is pretty low to the ground, and I can’t really see over other cars.
The car started to move into my lane…where I was…and I honked. Then the driver actually rolls down his window, leans out, and turns around to look at me. Because I honked??
(And meanwhile, maybe 40 feet away, people were honking as they drove past the picket lines at CBS. It’s not like I was the only one in the vicinity honking.)
Now, there were two bumper stickers on the car. “Give Peace a Chance,” and “Remember Humanity.” So, when the guy looked at me, I just started laughing. I mean, come on…don’t put bumper stickers like THAT on your car and give in to road rage. Practice what you preach, maybe?
I’ve written about bumper stickers before – I personally hate them. But I unfortunately don’t have that entry online at the moment, when I cleaned house earlier this year, I yanked the public entries down along with the friends-only ones. But, I have been blogging here since 2002, and at the moment, I wish I still had that entry to link to. I think I will have to see if I can get a bunch of those entries back up when I move to wordpress this weekend.
It’ll be a fun weekend, though, who knows what this thing will look like on Monday!
Until then, drive safe, and remember the humanity, dude.
