I set my alarm so I wouldn’t sleep the entire day away today.  I knew I had to run over to the vet’s office to pick up heartworm pills for the dogs.  I think I would’ve been better off staying in bed. 

     It seems that every idiot in this city was out.  As I left my neighborhood, two kids darted out in front of my car from between two parked vans.  I slammed on the brakes and singed my headliner with a few choice words.

     As I arrived at the first street light, I watched some fool make a right turn on red directly in front of an oncoming car.  Idiot number three.  I do believe I saw smoke come out of the ears of the driver of the oncoming car who had the right of way.  At the next light, a woman, without looking, threw open her door and stepped out of her car directly in front of the car that was ahead of me.  We both slammed on our brakes.  She had the nerve to glare at the driver. 

     I wasn’t even halfway to the vet’s office when I’d witnessed idiot number four’s dumb act.  By this time, I was considering turning around and going home.  Had it not been that the dogs needed to take their heartworm pills today I would have.  With only five blocks to go, I continued on my way. 

     Idiot number five was talking on his cell phone and ran a red light nearly taking out a car in front of me.  Yep, I slammed the brakes on again.  I think I need a new headliner mine is looking a bit scorched.
