flying furniture

the snow, the snow
driving through the snow. how fun.

i've seen my share of bad drivers.
today on john street on my way home from school with my buddy in the passenger seat the truck in front had its back door open
i thought that was okay, no problem, the things looked tied down.
haha...no.
stopped at a red light.
when it turned green,
the truck accelerated, and the stuff inside shifted a bit.
okay, stay back
then it acclerated some more,
plunk! crash! bang!
furniture came crashing down onto the road, and smashed into pieces
glad i stayed back.
not the end.
so the truck driver does not notice anything wrong.
furniture on john street, i pass to the next lane and continue
now trying every which way to tell the guy the furniture is flying off the truck!
my buddy is flailing his arms out the window
i'm constantly beeping
the guy doesn't bother to slow down
okay
reached another red light and this time i stopped beside
still trying to get some sense into this deranged driver
he points at himself mouthing the words 'i can't hear you'
by that point i'm screaming 'open your window!'
'furniture has been flying out your truck!'
'the door isn't closed?' he responds
'NO!!!'
he swears and gets out of the truck to close the back door
swears some more
and asks 'so is the furniture blocking the road?'
'YES!!!'

highlight of the day.

the other part of the day was spent with elementry school kids
it makes me appreciate the work of teachers
