Black Friday
As expected, the Black Friday crush us upon us. Driving down highway 15 forces us into close proximity of several of the largest malls in San Diego, each one a frantic swelling of humanity in desperate search for a parking spot and an outlet for their pent up freeway rage. The holidays bring out the worst in people hell bent on saving 15% off the “already low, low prices”, unaware that their time and sanity could easily have been saved simply by shopping online.
And to the woman in the beat up red Ford Fiesta that nearly ran us off the road, there’s a reason why California has a law against using cell phones while driving. Here’s a big Christmas middle finger to you. The only reason I even dared to go to the mall today was to take this photo, and you had to nearly take me out. Next time you get the urge to make an important phone call to your BFF to discuss the cultural significance of this season’s Hot Topic babydoll t-shirt line and whether or not any and all future economic stimulus checks should be spent at the Banana Republic or Nine West, because you would look so hot in those pumps with the buckles…
Please, do all the world a favor and DIAF. At least let those of us who pay attention, are considerate to other drivers on the road, and can keep the overwhelming urge to answer a ringing cell phone while driving under control can have a chance at a future free from skin grafts, femoral bone pins, and crutches.
