double-barreled salutes

Not really a vent...just a funny happening from the other day:

So, Jos and I are driving near our home yesterday in my truck. In front of us is this older Accord. in front of them, an SUV of some sort. We were all in the turn lane.

The SUV begins to go and turn right, but immediately brakes because he/she notices that traffic is coming and he/she would cause an accident. Car #2 (the accord) must have been to full of coffee cause they were raring to go...so they had to slam on their brakes which was immediately followed by their slamming their hand on this thing called "the horn." Now, mind you, a little horn tap goes a long way in driving. I don't mind it at all.

Said driver of car #2 - here-after referred to as DWEEB (Dude With Emotionally Eratic Buttheadedness) didn't just tap the horn...he laid his hand upon it like the Ducks laid their hands on the Beavers this year...SMACK!!!! SMACK!!!! and then a constant - unending SSSSMMMMAAAACCKKK!!! DWEEB wouldn't quit the honking.

This, as you can imagine, caused the passenger in the SUV to let him know that he was "number 1" in their heart. Jos and I kind of chuckled, but also talked about what a DWEEB the DWEEB was being. Patience is a virtue after all.

So...the SUV turns, DWEEB turns, we turn. SUV then proceeds to go about 15 miles an hour in a 30 mile an hour zone. DWEEB drives right behind him...and because we feel like we are being left out of the fun - we tailgate the DWEEB with my truck so all he saw was a grill.

Eventually Mr. SUV turns into a parking lot, with the female passenger giving the DWEEB a double-barrel salute and DWEEB goes on...ultimately turning into our subdivision - where i get a nice view of who the DWEEB is...and honestly - he looks like one of our many Meth heads here in Eugene. Maybe an unfair characterization...but having lived here for 5 years, I am beginning to get a good eye for these kinds of things.

So...any funny stories out there???
