Another Tale of Stupid People

On my way to the 'Natti to play some golf yesterday, I ran into traffic. I don't get too pissed since it's the A.M. rush and these suckers are running to work and I'm cruising to play golf.

Thinking that it's probably something stupid like merging traffic or something serious like a horrible accident where one can't discern flesh from metal in the mangled wreck, I proceed with caution.

I was wrong on both accounts. Someone was driving a little too fast and the police noticed. A chase ensued resulting in the offender being pulled over and issued a citation for speeding. This would cause traffic problems if the speeder didn't pull all the way over and blocked a lane, but this wasn't the case. He was half on the emergency lane and half on the grass. There was a good 10 feet between him and I-75.

Traffic was at a stand still. I thought I was in another country. A country where no one had received a speeding ticket so they were curious to see what happened. That had to have been the case because why else would traffic slow down to a crawl around a ticket?

A TICKET! Not a bloody mess, not a DUI, none of the above, A FUCKING SPEEDING TICKET. My golf was delayed because people are such assholes that they have to gawk at some dickhead getting a SPEEDING TICKET. People are so stupid, it's amazing they remember how to breathe.
