Starting off the day...
so this morning I'm sitting at the bus stop along with a gaggle of kids and a couple of other moms and grandmoms from the neighborhood, when this good ole by comes screeching around the corner in his truck (duh- what did you expect me to say- his mini-cooper?), runs the stop sign right in front of us, tears down the street and then begins yelling at this other dude about his dog.Me, I memorize his license plate, just in case.
Some of the other women have gathered the kids in, just to make sure.
My friend D, she screams at the top of her lungs, "You don't mother-fucking run a stop sign in front of a bus stop you moron!" (I'm paraphrasing, but you get my drift)
So the two dudes scream at each other for a while, then our good ole boy drives around a time or two just to make sure the other guy doesn't think he's backing down, and then he pulls up near us.
He gets out, and in the most humble of all tones (he actually bowed some), apologizes for running the sign, went on about his sweet dogs for a while, the funeral he had to get to, that the other guy threatened to shoot him, whatever.
D let him off with a warning.
The funny thing? He was wearing a shirt that said, "I live in my own little world, but it's okay, they know me there".
So true.

What I really said was "a stop sign means stop you asshole!" but it all comes out in the wash. To follow up, the afternoon bus stop was the moms (plus kevin) making jokes about wearing that t-shirt to the funeral. At least it was black.

You know, it's hard to explain this to Germans, so I don't try anymore, but sometimes I miss our special brand of crazy.
