I know I shouldn't but......
I don't like laughing at other peoples misfortune, crikey, I have enough bad stuff myself without the need to induce any bad karma, but as long as no one is hurt I suppose it's ok to do a little inward HAH HAH!
Like a lot of people in the world I find driving quite frustrating, not the journey but the folk that seem to be out to annoy you and mess up your simple plan to get from A to B without any hassle or hindrance, of course I know they don't mean to half the time and no one has the perfect, smooth path in life, but this is something that I will be blogging about a lot, sometimes it's funny sometimes not, but I'm sure some will relate.
I normally walk my youngest to school, it's a walk just shy of a mile, on this day, however, I had to pick my Mother up from the other side of town and get her to the train station, and the timing meant it would be easier to take the car on this occasion.
I live right next to the high school where four of my kids attend, as I was passing this school I had just driven over the pedestrian crossing when at the end of the railings A crowd of young girls decided they would shave 0.6 seconds of their walk to school and cross the road, all looking at their mobile phones, probably texting each other rather than talk and look where they were going, so naturally I slowed down.
I'm sure you've had this scenario where a group of teenagers think they can stroll out right in front of you, expecting your car to stop dead. The girls looked up when they heard my squeaky brakes and stopped half way across, so I carried on driving only for half of them to continue walking at the point where I was almost on them!
I wouldn't have stopped in time to avoid at least clipping them so swerved around them then realising I would hit the other half of them swerved back and then stopped, I didn't bother remonstrating with them, they wouldn't care what I had to say anyway and where probably updating their status to 'LOL just nearly got run over! If I had of hit one of them the Ally McBeale part of my brain would have picked up the casualty's phone and entered into their status. 'Just been killed and I don't have clean pants on FML'
So... what's funny you may be wondering?
Well this morning I was walking past the school and recognised some of the girls walking towards me on the opposite pavement, all of them ardently studying their phones as usual, and they all stepped in this huge trail of dog poo. (This is something else I'll be blogging about).
Someone must have been walking at least four dogs there was loads of it, they didn't just get a bit on the soles, you could see it curling up the sides on one girls shoe!
Being a gentleman I kept a straight face and walked on, watching them in the corner of my eye doing the slide thing yet apart from the odd look in disgust at the mess they had stood in carried on staring into their iphones.
As I walked past them a smirk invaded my face as i thought of their update.... 'Stood in dog poo lol best white pumps too!
