Hey! You.
Pssst. Pssst.
Hey you.
Ya, you, with the dark glaucoma glasses and white hair.
Look, I know its Saturday and you are out in droves, and I KNOW its hard for you to turn your head to such degrees as to see me in you not-so-blind spot. But seriously, you almost hit me and my car several times today.
I’m sure I’m a bit quick for you, what with me being a whippersnapper and all. But really, you need to take more care while operating a motor vehicle in a parking lot. Try looking in your blind spots and the not so blind spots.
Yes yes. I KNOW you drive slow on the road. How cautious of you. But you also don’t look. One of your kind nearly caused a collision turning left, across traffic, without the light in her favor. Thankfully, the other driver had good enough reflexes to stop before smashing into her and making me a witness.
Look, get some phone books to prop yourself up, add extra mirrors to help you see all around your car, get thicker glasses so you can see pedestrians, get a lighter shade of sun goggles to see the color of the traffic lights. Whatever you need, GET IT. Just quit trying to kill me with your car in your quest to go somewhere. Please.

Yeah, one of them pulled out straight in front of me today, then pootled along at 25mph. My response was rather vocal.
Puss

I think you’re probably safe now — they’ve all moved to San Francisco.

lol I used to say similar, while Mom was with me, and she would get so pissed. “You’re going to be old one day too you know!” she’d say. She was right. But I agree with you too. It’s freaking scary out there.
The worst part is, the baby boomers (me included) are all aging now. We’re screwed. There’s only going to be more of them out there. lol

Ahhhhhhhhhhhh, the world is full now - of baby boomers and their parents who rejoice in the advent of modern medicine that keeps us going like the Energizer Bunny. We just don’t die now at age 60-65 like we’re supposed to. We’re out getting lifted, tucked, sexually rejuvenated, yes it’s hard to imagine considering how the little man above was driving, isn’t it? Hee hee. It was so much easier back then when they did just politely die.
