It started out as a typical Tuesday morning - trash collection day.
I think my heart rate was over 200 trying to pass two garbage trucks before the smell got to me.
Great ride until I went thru the university campus. Got passed by a shuttle bus again. The driver crossed the double yellow line to go around me and then immediately pulled in front of me so he could stop for the approaching stop sign. I pulled up beside him and asked what the hurry was and did he realize what he did was against the law. He sounded foreign and gave some lame excuse.
I was pissed. This is the second time in two weeks that some moron driving one of the university shuttle buses has done this to me. So I headed over to the parking office and spoke to the supervisor of the shuttle bus drivers and explained the situation and told him the driver's name and bus number. This wasn't my first visit there. As usual he said he'd talk to all the drivers. Don't know if it will do any good.
The rest of the ride was great!

If these ****ing foreigners don't learn the rules of the road I may log on to BF one morning and report that I was taken to XXX hospital where I expired at 9:35 am EDT.
