One Clear Dot

Everyone has their own pet peeves of the road. I’m personally not all that fond of those asinine “bull testicles” danglies that men in need of compensation put on the back of their pickup trucks, but they are still not one of my pet peeves.

Mine involve things that distract me when I am driving, like under-lighting, lit license plate frames, and idiots with tail lights out so that I have to stare into the back of their car and a blinding white light. And, those ridiculous spinning hubcaps. I loathe those things.

Last week I actually saw a white-haired, elderly man driving a wood paneled station wagon – with spinning hub caps. I kid you not. It was like a page out of a surreal comic book. I thought those annoying things were only for small teenaged boys who over accessorize their cars to cast off the perception of being cooler than they actually are so that mindless girls with brittle, bleached blond hair and a purse full of Fenphedra will consent to ride with them to the local mall.

The state of Florida just banned those nasty bull balls, so maybe there is hope that truly distracting things like spinning hub caps will be next on the state’s hit list.
