It's rare that you see someone who is truly stupid...

(by Ryan)

Every now and then you see people do something that's dumb, but tonight we saw someone who is just plain stupid. The roads are mostly thawed out, but there are still some icy spots here and there. We were sitting at a red light on the feeder for the loop, and two cars coming through the intersection side by side slid into one another, just kind of rubbed the sides of their cars a bit, not a real major accident or anything. So the guy in the middle lane pulls over to a parking lot that was on the right side of the road, but the guy in the other car decides to just stop in the left lane while traffic is still going through, instead of pulling off the road where it's safe. He sits there for a minute or so, then turns his lights completely OFF (it's completely dark outside so now nobody can see his car sitting there in the middle of the road), gets out of the car, and walks around into the center lane of traffic to look at the damage to his car! We were so tempted to roll the window down and tell him to get off the road or turn his hazard lights on or something. I just didn't know somebody could be so stupid. He did the exact OPPOSITE of everything you're supposed to do when you have a fender bender. I wish I had a video camera for moments like this.
