WTF?

I don’t normally do WTF Wednesdays, but I’ve seen a couple of things today that I just can’t let go by without comment.

The first is the intersection closest to my apartment and the people who don’t know the meaning of “Right of way.” I am sitting at the light, waiting for it to turn green. There is a car across from me also waiting. The light turns green. The car across from me has no blinkers on, so I assume he is going to go straight. And, he does. I am turning left, so I wait for him to clear the intersection.

In the meantime, another car has approached the intersection from that same direction. He also does not have a blinker on, so I slowly enter the intersection intent on waiting for him to go straight, then I will go. But, no, wait, he wants to turn right. Not a problem, I can still go after him.

But, instead of turning right and just going and getting out of my way, this car stops at the line, angled right, with his right blinker on. I’m still waiting. Then, he sticks his arm out of the window and waves me on.

WTF? He has right of way. If he had just freaking gone, it would have taken up less of my time. I wouldn’t have been left sitting in the intersection trying to figure out what the hell he’s doing.

Sadly, this is not the first time I’ve had someone do this at this intersection.

The second item for today is Molli’s Choice — bottled water for your pet. It comes in “both unflavored water and a selection of subtle and sophisticated flavors to keep even the most discriminating pet properly hydrated.” According to the website, some of these distinctive flavors are

“For Dogs: Original (Unflavored) – Beef Tenderloin – Bacon Delight – Roasted Turkey – Roasted Chicken
For Cats: Original (Unflavored) – Roasted Turkey – Roasted Chicken – Beef Tenderloin”

This ranks up there with puppy purses.
