Wish I had caught it on camera. Related note; I'm going to buy a camera.

So there I was, happily stopped at a set of four way temporary traffic lights in place for some roadworks.  I'm sat there, as is a car on a side road also controlled by the roadworks.  After catching eachothers eyes while looking round, we both carry on minding our own business, happily sat on red, when all of a sudden, as if from out of nowhere, a bus comes hurtling behind me, swerves right in front of me, seemingly ignoring both me and the lights, only to then realise the levels of dipshittery he had just done and coming to an abrupt halt half way across the four way junction, just as a car was coming toward him.  I sighed and shook my head.  The car driver caught my eye, sighed, shook his head, and gesticulated most feverishly at the bus driver (I think he was mimicking shaking a can of coke.  He clearly hopes that the bus drivers next fizzy drink of choice explodes on him).

Broad daylight.

I can only imagine that I, being awesome, was emitting some sort of radiant light of overwhelming awesomeness that temporarily blinded and stunned the bus driver, thus making him not see the big bright red light, not see me on account of my blinding awesomeness, and have to come to a sudden halt across a junction, with a bus load of passengers, while he took stock of his senses and got a grip of himself after being in my awesome, blinding presence.

That was totally what happened to him.  Either that or he was being a dick.

I like to see the best in people so I'm going with the former rather than the latter.

So.  How was your day?

My day was crap. Got cleared into Nigeria by the usual bunch of bandits masquerading as officials. Cost me $1500 in "fines" aka bribes so the bast*rds do what they are supposed to. At least they do it with a smile. Although when one said i was like a father to him I was able to reply that I was certainly never married to his mother. I think that was a bit over his head.

Living in the sticks away from major conurbations for the last 35 years, driving through the West Midlands is sometimes a bit of a culture shock. Not least when stuck in traffic at road works I note a car driving at speed along the pavement to get around someone turning right (off the Chester Road just by the Yenton, Erdington for those who know that part of Brum).
