Sweet, sweet justice. A.K.A, Karma is my best friend today.

I don't normally think of myself as someone that laughs at other people's misfortune. Sure, if you trip over the rug and fall on your face, I'll probably laugh at you, but only after I've checked to make sure you're not seriously injured and/or bleeding. I try to look out for other people, and for the most part I feel like I succeed, but sometimes...sometimes all I can do is point and laugh and thank karma for making the rounds.

Take, for example, the countless morons in this town that simply cannot comprehend the function of a sidewalk. We've touched on this topic before, but since it's such an epidemic around here it's worth hitting on again. Today it's been raining most of the morning, and everything is wet. There's puddles in the street, on the sidewalk, and I do feel sort of bad for the people that have to walk around/through them, either by choice or because they don't have a ride.

That being said, I do NOT, not now, not ever, not even going to think about it for a second, feel bad for the people that walk in the middle of the puddle-filled road and then proceed to curse out the cars that pass by them and splash them with water from said puddles. I'm sorry, but if you're too much of a moron to get out of the damn street you deserve to have a mud shower, even more so if you're a prissy, snobby, tight-jeans-tucked-into-suede-boots-wearing disgrace to the female kind. If you insist on hiking around in the rain in your hooker boots, maybe you should attempt to walk where there's a lesser chance of getting them wet. Or better yet, don't wear them at all, because they're hideous and even if you're not a hooker they certainly make you look like one.

And before you get upset at me for what I just said, let me remind you that this girl was, by her own volition, the one walking in the street, where cars have the right-of-way, and pedestrians really shouldn't be gallivanting about, especially around here where everybody speeds and nobody pays attention to where they're going. She should be thankful all she got was wet feet and not a ride to the hospital in the back of an ambulance. Idiot.

Part of me is hoping that sooner or later I'll see her again on her return trip, because I have a feeling she will have learned absolutely ZIPPO from her encounter with traffic today. Based on previous studies, 90% of people that walk in the street tend to stay in the street for the return trip. Cars? Pffffffff. Cars will move. They are PEDESTRIANS, and PEDESTRIANS are like superheroes! Nothing can harm them! Except maybe a steamroller...does anyone know where I could maybe, perhaps, acquire such a steamroller?

Sincerely,

Smart Girl.
