One for the Road

Back here, I mentioned something about how taking photos of people who almost run us over, could possibly become an ongoing series. If that happens, here's another photo for this potential gallery...

This past weekend, Sam and I went on a walk through one of the neighboring towns. On our drive over, we decided to park the car at a small shopping plaza and start our loop from there. 

We found a spot in the unsurprisingly almost empty lot, parked, got out of the car and proceeded to walk across the parking lot, towards the sidewalk. 

As we crossed the lot, a car comes racing along from my left - driving so fast that I had to yank Sam back. And as the this d-bag (henceforth referred to as D.B., for short) passes us, he stares over at me with a open-mouthed, mocking grin on his face. 

(I can't honestly say whether he also had his tongue sticking out or not, but it certainly seemed that way.)

Anyway, as he continued on his way toward the exit (seen above, kind of), I pulled out my phone and pretended to take his photo. 

Well, apparently D.B. was still watching me (presumably with that same stupid grin on his face) because when he got about twenty feet ahead of us, just before the exit, he stops his car, gets out, snaps my photo - then peals away. 

That's when I took the photo above.

What a moron.

At least when I took my photo (or pretended to), I (would have) ended up with a photo of a car that almost ran us over. More importantly, I (would have) ended up with a time and location stamped photo of a car that almost ran us over - and it's license plate - you know real information. (I believe the technical term for this is 'evidence'.)

What does this guy have? A photo of some arbitrary, pissed-off looking old guy walking along with his bewildered-looking son. 

What's that good for (other than possibly corroborating that fact that he was the one who almost ran us over)? 

I picture D.B. back at his dorm room, showing this now-treasured possession to his 'friend':

D.B.: Get a load of this. (Whips out his phone and flashes the photo.)

D.B.'s Alleged Friend: What am I looking at? Something behind that old guy walking with his kid?

D.B.: No, idiot! That friggin' guy took a picture of me - just because I almost ran him and his kid over! But I got him back. I took his picture! See how he likes it!

D.B.A.F.: Nice! ... Um... What are you planning on doing with it?

D.B.: <long silence>  Err... Well ... I got him back! That's the whole point!

<D.B. and his alleged friend continue to drink their many beers in thoughtful silence.>

 The End.
