I've already subjected Fyrchk, Dark Damian and Laurie to my rant about what happened a few hours ago.


Now, I subject the rest of you to it:

DAMN DENVER DRIVERS!

For those of you familiar with 9th Ave. and Colorado, you'll know how busy it is. It's extremely busy. Colorado Blvd. itself just SUCKS.

So, I was on my way to pick up HDH and take him to get his car from the shop. I turn onto 9th, and the street is already packed. PACKED.

I'm trying to get under the bridge to pick HDH. I don't need a parking spot. A woman in the little Civic in front of me decided she wanted a parking space parallel to where I was at the moment. She stopped about two car lengths up and started to back up.

THERE WAS NOWHERE FOR ME TO GO.

I could not go back - there were five (impatient) people in their cars behind me, and many starting to jam back up on Colorado.

I could not go around - there were already cars in the direction waiting to turn onto Colorado.

She continued to back up. She about hit my car trying to get into the space. A man in a car facing the other direction began honking at her to stop. She was half-way into the space, then .... flipped me off.

I flipped her off in return.



And the only thing keeping me from stopping under the bridge and walking a nasty-0-gram back to the windshield of her car was the flowers I saw in the backseat of her car. I'm sure she was on her to give them to a sick relative, friend, something, and maybe - just maybe - she was already worked up about that.

Maybe.

But that's the free pass of the year, folks.

Still. Pissed. Grrrrrrr ..........
