My commute home from work yesterday was...interesting.

1) A big white pickup coming up behind me....I looked behind me to make sure he knew I knew he was there. He didn't budge. I edged out just a little bit so he knew I was there. Still didn't budge. I finally threw out my hand and waved it so he would see me. Still didn't budge. I was forced onto the shoulder of the road.

2) Two high school/college girls were jabbing away in their car as they drove, their right side tires on the white line. I saw them coming up, kept waving to get their attention, then was forced onto the shoulder. They never budged, I watched them go for about a mile, constantly staying on the white line.

3) A van full of, probably high schoolers, drove past, one of them had his hand out the window and yelled something, I think it was "I'm touching you, I'm touching you!". Then they drove off and past. They must have turned around again, cause they came past me again. The same kid was half out the window, had his hands up in a position that reminds me of someone holding a guitar or a rifle or something (he wasn't obviously) and shouted something. I swear, it sounded like he shouted "Ex Parrot".

I think someone put something in the drinking water.
