Next you notice passersby and their slick smiles. They seem to say, "Public transportation? How quaint. I thought Kia made buses obsolete when they started manufacturing cars using only cardboard and super glue." But no, people still ride the buses, and some of them even have cars. They have foolishly decided that driving to campus is not worth the hassle, and that the monetary benefits of not paying for gas and parking, as well as the free high that comes with inhaling all the bus fumes, is well worth the time spent waiting among other miserable people who have made the same silly decision.
Then there was a car accident. No one actually saw or heard a collision, but we definitely saw and heard a woman out of her car yelling at the person behind her. "YOU THINK THIS FUNNY? I GOT KIDS IN THERE!" Except when she said "kids," it sounded like "Keeee-idddsss." She then yelled various combinations and variations of these two sentences for a few minutes. Like President Bush with emotions, she had a few talking points, and she was going to hammer them home. After a few minutes, I felt compelled to say out loud, "Yes, I actually do think this is kind of funny." Kids or no kids, traffic was moving about 4 miles an hour. And now you've stopped it completely on the main road through a college campus during rushhour for an accident with no damage.
