pet peeves ii

Today's complaint is a combo platter: people who talk on their cell phones while driving, and people who speed in school zones. A young lady driving behind me today was doing both. She even had the audacity to honk at me, as if I was in the wrong by doing 20 mph in a school zone. As she passed me, I rolled down my window and yelled a few choice words in her direction, informing her of both her carelessness and cluelessness.

Moral of the story: if you are polite and stupid, I will always cut you some slack. But if you are rude and stupid, I will let you have it with both barrels.
