Now the clocks have changed and the weather is turning warmer it is now that time of year again.

Caravan season

I guess we are now at the mercy of people out for their weekends away tootling along at fuck all miles per hour oblivious to the annoyance they cause. Great.

On my journey to work I drive past a primary school. The parents park on a blind bend, they hardly ever indicate, stop their cars whenever they feel like it and generally cause chaos. It’s quite annoying but I’ve grown used to it. On my journey yesterday however there was an incident which raised the stupidity bar higher.

As per normal I drove past, stopping for all the non-indicating masses. After grinding to a halt for the last time I was just pulling away when a mum, clutching a child’s hand in each of hers looked directly at me and marched out in front of my car. Needless to say I stopped yet again.

This incident got me thinking about what those kids would be learning from her attitude. Such as: it’s ok to step in front of a car if it’s outside my school. Still, I guess given the lack of intelligence of at least one of their parents I suppose this attitude might weed out the gene pool it bit.
