Crossed Wires
People I Nearly Hit Last Week

- The gaggle of grad students that was baby ducking through my parking lot. I’d seen them flocking across the street from down the way so I wasn’t actually in danger of hitting them. But in my sleep deprived state, their slow noobing about between me and my parking space was irksome. They were keeping me from my coffee, damnit.

- The guy in a giant black SUV at the three way stop that everyone seems to forget is actually a three way stop. He was pulling through for a rolling stop when he finally looked over and realized, oh, hey, there’s a car over there.

- The two grad students holding hands like two junior high kids with their first crush. They were walking along down the middle of the lane in the parking lot and took their sweet time moving out of the way.

Honorable mention goes to the guy in the Suburban who was not on campus when I nearly hit him, but instead in the neighborhood around the daycare. Dude turned left in front of me to pull into a driveway. Either he honestly did not see my little car coming down the street, or he decided it would have taken much too long to wait for me to pass him by before turning.

Move in starts this week, so I expect it will be an exciting week.
